it's a beautiful movie, and it touches on a lot of themes.

bro idk, it’s just a really good song. when i first heard it, i genuinely thought it was from 2005 or 2015 because it gives off that kind of vibe. trust, it’s good.

arctic monkeys, 2017

recommended for all of cortis

it’s such a banger, especially late at night. it’s catchy, calming, and you’ve probably heard it somewhere on social media before.

mf doom, 1999

recommended for all of cortis

such a good album to play while relaxing, really listening to the lyrics and letting the songs flow into each other. the interludes are some of my favorite parts, and the whole thing feels so authentic and nostalgic. definitely a must-listen for anyone getting into hip-hop.

one ok rock, 2010

recommended for coer & martin

one of oor’s best albums, if not the best. after seeing martin enjoy “the beginning” in their vlog, i can definitely imagine him liking this one too, especially “liar”, “kanzen kankaku dreamer”, and “adult suit.”

tarsem singh, 2006

recommended for all of cortis

the plot is so unusual and captivating that it keeps you hooked until the end. i think cortis would really enjoy the storytelling, acting, and stunning visuals, especially because there’s so much depth beneath it all.

cho gi seok, 2024-2025

recommended for all of cortis

cho gi seok is such a one in a million creative mind. i love how his work blends surrealism, escapism, and elements of korean culture into something that feels completely his own, and i think his visual world fits cortis so well.

john galliano, 2024

recommended for martin

i think this is perfect for martin since he’s mentioned being a fan of the eponymous founder and has been wearing galliano pieces often lately. the show is a masterpiece, with such a haunting collection and atmosphere, especially leon dame’s intro and the use of adele’s “hometown glory” as the backing music.

miley cyrus, 2026

recommended for all of cortis

i love how 80s it sounds, and it’s just such an amazing dance track. the lyrics are all about letting go, feeling the music, and letting it guide you on the dance floor.

charles dickens, 1838

recommended for all of cortis

this book deals with themes of social injustice quite well. it is also admirable, despite facing terrible circumstances and even being driven to crime, he never fully succumbs to let the lifestyle consume him or become hardened.

2hollis, 2022

recommended for martin

i’ve been getting into a lot of underground stuff, and 2hollis’ production is so unique. i think martin would vibe with the introspective lyrics and the way he blends electronic sounds, especially electroclash, with the frantic chaos of rage rap. this is my favorite 2hollis song.

the neverminds, 2023

recommended for all of cortis

the band currently has two albums, “nevermind, the summer.” and “nevermind, the winter.,” both exploring young love from different sides. the first focuses on the beginning of romance, while the second explores it coming to an end, and i think cortis would enjoy both <3

son jong-hyun, 2023

recommended for all of cortis

this k-drama gives a reminder that youth is never coming back. from close-knit friendships, enjoying youth and making music to emotional depth and young love. i think it's something cortis will enjoy.

khamari, 2021

recommended for juhoon

we all know juhoon really likes daniel caeser, so if he’s looking for an artist with a similar vibe khamari is the artist he should dive into. this song specifically makes me feel a soothing vibe!

uzi, 2023

recommended for all of cortis

the album explores a man from turkey’s ghettos going from nothing to the top. despite all the fame, confidence, and success he gained at a young age, it also shows his hidden fear of loneliness.

this song gives off pure summer night vibes. the lyrics talk about over coming difficulties and embracing the wounds which probably whole heal but you've come to accept yourself. my high school jam fr

james has mentioned that he watches anime, so i'm recommending one that was released as an adaptation from one of my favourite games. season 2 is coming soon this year too.
