Hello, everyone!
I've loved Foster The People since I first heard “Pumped Up Kicks” in 2011 via some random website. The track had gone viral, and I'm not gonna lie, I actually thought it was a joke. Who wouldn't, am I right? “Kicks” is so heinously uncomfortable to listen to that you just want to indulge in nervous laughter to hide from the shame. It was love at first listen and the rest is history!
As I drove home one afternoon I noticed a local radio station changed over to a New Alternative station blaring Weezer's “Happy Hour”. I knew they'd never play anything by Weezer on said station, so the obvious was true: change was in the air. I also heard Sofi Tukker “Best Friend”, Muse “Thought Contagion”, and of course, more Weezer. One random day, they played “Sit Next To Me” as well as “Worst Nites”, and “Ride or Die” well into 2020.
It was late September in 2023 when I'd taken the first steps towards creating a fan page. Now in February 2024, I'm officially in business as a Foster The People fangirl across various social media platforms. Not bad for someone who sacrificed more than half their life's work to be in this position.
If you made it this far, thanks so much for spending time with me and reading about my experiences. I promise to post more news than my personal life.
Have a good one!
