Alex G is like a successful version of so many people who used to just fuck around and make music with friends as kids. I think that's why I like him so much, at it's core it's just weird shit that sounds good for sorta unexplainable reasons.
Unexplainable reasons? Writing over a couple hundred songs before you reach 30 and recording your own music is a pretty good way to get good at song-making
@@ESTcor his music is eclectic and bizarre. It's not recorded or written like nearly anyone else. So I find myself listening to it and liking it but I'm unable to really point out why. Like if I try to explain to someone why I like it if they don't, I don't really know what to say other than "it sounds good"
@@dingo4229 Ohh okay the way u phrased it w the “unexplainable” without elaborating that it’s unexplainable to you made me think you were saying his music is just somehow accidentally good or something lmao. The music theory behind Alex g is actually really cool if you ever do look into it btw. Lots of interesting chord choices and structural choices.
Hey we age, we pop out new ones, we die. Don't cry. And then we get to do it all over again. It doesn't stop there but you shouldn't pay it much care. Just be yourself and try your best. Something bigger will take care of the rest.
It's kind of absurd how consistently good the music he makes is. A mediocre Alex G song is at the very least original and interesting and better than a hell of a lot other sort of indie rock out there. That's the absolute minority of his stuff, most of is, is just incredible and weird and catchy.
i don’t remember how i found alex g, but i remember trick and race having such profound impacts on my life in an absurdly positive way. i hope he feels the impact he’s had on people, and knows it’s been positive. i appreciate this man’s artistic ability and humanness, and i’m surprised i hadn’t seen this documentary before!! i’ve seen him twice now in concert and it’s cool seeing him admit him just being some dude. it’s easy to get caught up in celebrity and obviously i don’t know him, but he seems like a really down to earth guy.
also his song ‘hope’ has recently hit really hard after the loss of a dear friend, and yeah. i’m just grateful i’ve had this guy’s music to come back to for years now.
I had this friend who listened to Alex G years before he exploded in popularity. He liked like a lot of newer indie pop groups-a sound that I had grown out of when he told me to check out Alex’s songs, so I refused, thinking AG was just another boring copy of a copy. I slept on it for years when one day I finally decided to listen to his music on my own accord. I was blown away. Now he’s one of my favorite artists of all time. Feels like a blessing to live in this lifetime where he’s still making music and performing.
Okay yeah so I was right. This was def a few years back because I was at that show at the first Unitarian church basement in Philly. Girlpool opened for them I’m pretty sure. Super amazing show, and super cool just hangin w the bands before and after. I wanna go back in time plz )))))::::
Trick actually saved my life got me through so much i was depressed and thought about ending it all but then i heard Alex G’s music by mistake and i was hooked it sounded like how i felt on the inside and it inspired me to make music myself i obviously didnt get big with it but i did small concerts and i got to voice how i felt im 25 now and i still make music which is my driving passion to a lot of things and for that i thank Alex G for actually saving my life
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GET OUT OFMY HEAD. PLEASE. I CANT STOP. ALEX G IS MY LIFE. HES ALL I SEE. HES ALL I HEAR. HES ALL I TASTE, TOUCH SMELL AND FEEL. PLEASE IM BEGGING SOMEONE HELP I HALLUCINATE THIS MAN I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. SANDY I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU HELP HELP GET OUT OF MY HEAD ITS ROTTING MY BRAIN. ❤

This is officially a melancholic watch for me now. He was 23 here, he's now 29 and having a kid. Wild.
WHAT
Alex g is a dad now?
@@mgmegt5920 Yeah, or at least his partner announced her pregnancy so I'm on the working assumption.

glad he came out and addressed the fact that he doesn't manage a burger king. we love accountability

I respect Alex even more after seeing him reppin the Title Fight hoodie.
They’re from my hometown where I grew up. Haven’t been back there in 13 yrs tho.
Alex G opened up for title fight back in 2015 I believe :’)
alex g produced some of title fights songs

I think I found a couple songs from tiktok and now I love every one of his songs
im shocked that the audience didnt straight up scream when they heard the first few chords of bug
probably because this old if that makes sense lol
Alex g is a real life manifestation of myself living my dreams.
