Tara is a fan of what she calls "goffic" music, consisting almost entirely of My Chemical Romance andGood Charlotte (who also play at Hogsmede often), and occasionallyEvanescence, Linkin Park, and Marilyn "Marlin" Manson. The following appears to be Tara's playlist as she was "writing" My Immortal. If you would like to make such a playlist, you're a poser.
My Chemical Romance (with Gerard Way's sexy ethnic voice)
- I'm Not Okay (the lyrics are also a spell)
- Helena (also check out the Bloody Gothic Rose 666 Cover. Apparently the song that inspired Tara to not kill herself.)
- Demolition Lovers (Desolation Livers, so to speak.)
- Vampires Will Never Hurt You (this song existed in the eighties.)
- I Don't Love You Like I Did Yesterday (or, in Taraese, I don't 3 u lyk I did yesterday. Yes, 3.)
- Teenagers
- The Ghost of You (or Gost of U, which is the title for Chapter 35. The song played in Chapter 25. Also the name of the last collaboration fic between Tara and Raven.)
Good Charlotte
- I Just Wanna Live (so 80's)
- The Chronicles of Life and Death (the song played in Chapter 3)
- The World is Black (not a single)
- The River (which is about the band discovering Christianity... You gonna throw out those "Joel" boots Enoby?)
Evanescence
- My Immortal (Poor, poor Amy Lee, with her poor song forced to associate itself with this...)
- Going Under (Gong Under?)
- Bring Me To Life
Marilyn Manson
- 1996 ("jeus christ superstar")
Green Day (Grun Day?)
- The Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Billie Joe Armstrong says you can keep the lyrics to "The Bolevrad of Borken Dremz".)
Other
- Linkin Park (When they don't have you-know-what to a MCR song, Draco and Ebondy have you-know-what to Linkin Park songs.)
- Slipknot
- Simple Plan
More apparently "Goffic" artists
- The Beatles (who wore eyeliner in 1980)
- 50 Cent (Goffik versions of his songs exist. A favorite of Hargrid's.)
- Billy Joel (who apparently recorded with Green Day in the '80's and had blonde hair. Tara probably meant "Billie Joe Armstrong", the frontman of Green Day, but still. Maybe Billie Joe Armstrong + Joel Madden = Billy Joel? Tara logic.)
Prep Bands
- Ashlee Simpson (a poser band, apparently)
- The Backstreet Boys
- NSYNC
- Britney Spears (this is never directly said but implied via Britney the Prep.)
- Avril Lavigne (owning an Avril Lavigne robe is a good way of scaring Volxemort and reminding people you're a poser)
- Hilary Duff (Ebony 'fucking hates that little bitch' since she's going out with Joel Madden and has an 'ugly blonde face')
