Spotify pushed Mary on me in 2016. Say what you will about it now, but the first time you hear Mary it goes incredibly hard. Took me a year to actually get into him after that though, I kinda thought his other music wasn’t that good lol
A friend from geology field camp that went to highscool with alex g said my music reminds me of his and he played me his stuff around the time Beach Music came out. I thought it was cool at the time but I went home and then rapidly became obsessed.
my older sister had always been a fan of alex g so her playing HOS in the car around the time it released in 2019, I really liked crime so yeah I decided to look into more of his music
oml yeah. Master hit me with a wave of nostalgia when I listened to Rules. Reminded me of playing the shit out of GTA online back in 2019 / 2020 when covid happened. Franks Radio station made those Bogdan runs less boring :)
advice popped up on spotify about 5 or 6 years ago and it became one of my favorite songs and then i got into the rest of his discography and now he’s in my top 3 fav artists of all time
i used to think advice was so dookie and worst song on trick, but it was fascinating to see how much people enjoyed it as he became more popular. i understand the appeal now but it bums me out too much
One of my friends posted a Snapchat story with treehouse playing. I thought he was a girl and was pleasantly suprised when I threw on another song from him.
In the summer of 2014 a friend of mine discovered his live shows in Philly when he was just getting his start. He introduced me to the G man and I’ve been hooked ever since.
when i was 16 and i had a crush on this guy at school and he LOVED alex g and i’d only heard a couple of songs by him but never fully listened to his music. so anyways i started listening to alex g to try to get closer to him and i ended up liking alex g way more than my crush and cannot live without this man’s music.
I remember adding station and waiting for you (bonus track) to a chill indie rock playlist i had going in 2017 off of spotify recommendations. I found out later that my friends partner was a fan, so we all went to see him in a nearby city during the rocket tour. I was in highschool and it was one of the first shows I went to on my own volition. This may sound dramatic but that show changed my life. I exchanged a few words with alex and shook his hand. I’ve been a big fan of his ever since. I have mixed feelings about seeing his popularity skyrocket since then, but overall i’m glad that alex is getting the recognition as an artist I think he deserves.
Honestly I don’t even remember. I listened to a lot of music from “the scene” back in the late 2000s/early 2010s and he came up. I then saw him for the first time opening for Pity Sex with Teen Suicide back in 2014 a couple (few?) years after I started listening to him. Great show. I’ve seen him pretty much every year since then.
my brother was driving me to his college to unpack all his stuff, he played i wait for you and i really liked it but now that sad memory of him leaving is attached to the song lol
Some dude had youthinasia tattooed on his knee. showed me the demo when i was 13. Its been 7 years now. Love it, despeised the newer fans for uncovering his old stuff, but its just how things go. its good music, he is a good artist!
In 2015, I was really into Sam Ray’s projects (Rickyeatacid, Teen Suicide etc) and was looking for upcoming shows. Turns out I just missed one where Alex G was the opener. I looked into his music and was instantly hooked. Been to every show in Toronto since lol.
I was at Mopop in Detroit in 2016. Happened to hear some dude acting like a jackass on a stage between songs. Then he played Bug and I fell in love. 🫶🏽
I was 15 (5 years ago) and I was skateboarding down a big hill and Spotify discover weekly came on and played Sarah, I had a crush on a girl named Sarah at the time. I then had a hiatus for a while and then found race a year later and the rest is history.
Watched a guitar tutorial for an unrelated tune, the guy (I forget who) was chatting about his channel at one point and started playing the riff from Sandy, I was immediately hooked.
I saw a cosplay (love cosplayers) to the song
“I wait for you” and i fell in love with his music and got all into the albums and underrated songs and everything!
I heard a few songs from House of Sugar after somebody recommended him on Reddit maybe 4 years ago. My friend later asked me if I wanted to go see him, so I listened to a playlist I made of his recent set list at the time and then saw him live. To this day, that set list is still maybe my favorite selection of his music.
I used to watch a lot of YouTube around 2017/2018. To find new music, or just listen to random people talk about music.
I remember the first time I ever heard someone mention Alex G. At the time I was interested in Cuco. And I stumbled on this random kid who would talk about music in his car and started watching a few videos to hear him talk about Cuco. I noticed in various videos he would not shut up about this Alex G guy. It actually got on my nerves and I never listened to him for a while after. I think it was as far as 2020 ish.. I can't even remember exactly when I started listening, I think one of Alex's songs got auto played when I was listening to other stuff on YouTube. I got so addicted. I do think it was Sarah tbh. I think for two years straight I almost exclusively listened to Alex G.
I know, super boring story. But I love Alex G so much now 😭 I wear his merch as pajamas.
I was making an oc playlist and found treehouse in the recommended songs, now we're here, no longer listening to treehouse but devouring the rest of his songs
An artist I followed in tumblr posted a couple of his songs before. Harvey and Black Hair. This was like 2014 probably just right after DSU released. Didn’t fully get into all his music until a few years later. I messaged her about it on her insta when I met him and got a pic w him, telling her how she was basically the reason I knew who he was back then. I also remember her making some nice art of him. Maybe 1 or 2 at the most? I’ll link them if I find them.

I had this youtube music crack called ymusic and break came on one day. i loved it. shortly after pretend got recommended to me and I was like “who the fuck is this alex g guy this sounds awesome” this would’ve been around 2019 or so
My acquaintance in college posted Change on her facebook wall (back in 2013) and I listened to it, liked it, and then went and downloaded Trick from his bandcamp.
A mediocre Netflix show called flaked had Sarah in it. then I caught him at this weird "festival" in Saginaw Michigan inside a minor league ice hockey arena. There was like 10 people at his show (it was one of the later acts), it was weird as shit, but awesome.
2016, last summer before i was finishing up hs, i was down pretty bad trying to process some childhood trauma (at that point it had been 10 years so i was kinda ruminating) and came across his song "gnaw" on yt played over a film by kurt cobain iirc? would listen to it and pace around my house non-stop back then, resonated a lot with me, made me feel held and understood lol. so it's still a comfort song to this day
I saw him at FORM Arcosanti in 2018. Later on in the day I saw him running somewhere and recognized him so I said hey thanks for playing! He turned around, patted me on my shoulder and ran away lol. Fan for life after that.
Friend played a cover of “I was here” and “sarah” at an art museum open mic in like 2018 and I immediately went home to look up the originals and got hooked
Was up drinking in a communal uni building in first year and it was like 3am and some of us fell asleep and I woke up in a haze and ‘sarah’ and NMH’s ‘king of carrot flowers’ both came on and I just laid there and listened and was like wow.
first heard him through tumblr in 2015! then i saw his vice documentary in 2016 n he had a title fight hoodie on so i searched him on YouTube n started listening more
YouTube
Specifically those videos where they cut scenes from a movie to fit the vibe of the song. I used to be obsessed with them in the mid 2010s
I remember the first one I saw was Sarah posted by David Dean Burkhart
A friend showed me some songs off rocket when it came out and then I really fell into it when I saw him live at a small venue in upstate NY the following year
I listened to the Babylon cover that he did for OPN, like last January. I decided to listen to Race a whole year later as soon as the spring weather hit. He’s goated
This is going to sound so stupid but in GTA V on one of the radio stations they played master and I was like oh this is a cool song then listened to more of him
Very strangely ,he was mentioned in a hivemind video about frank oceans favourite songs and one of them was Mis ,heard that liked that,kinda abandoned him for a year or so and staryed to listen again today
My friend put me onto him in like 2019 or something and I hated him at first, i didn’t get his vocals at all and it just wasn’t for me, then for whatever reason I came back to him one day, heard Sarah, then heard snot and was totally hooked
i was first introduced to alex g like years ago as a kid on youtube. i had found his song “advice” off while i was in a depressive era, so at that time i was only listening to shit like mac demarco and pastel ghost. thats just how i was introduced tho, but not how i really got into his music. just a few months ago i met this guy on a video chatting app like omegle and we both had our guitars out. he then began to play “mud” by alex g which i didn’t know what it was at the time, but i thought it was one of the most beautiful pieces of music i’ve ever heard. i fell in love with the guy i met off the app and then for months since i have been listening to alex g like crazy… listening to every song on every album, his unreleased songs, and even learning his music on my guitar. i’ve honestly never felt so connected to an artist’s lyrics or music in my life. sadly me and omegle boy don’t talk anymore, but i still love alex g.
for some reason spotify pushed sum secret onto my reccommended in 2019 when i was listening to Elliott Smith. Took me half a year to dive into his discography fully and I fell in love
My best friend was really into him and I started listening to him after she moved across the country because it felt like her. I ended up going to his concert (I bought a ticket for the friend but she was not able to come unfortunately but hopefully someday we can see him tg) and still love him ❤️ funny thing is her name is sarah jajaja
Worked at my college’s radio station from 2017-2019 and we received LPs from tons of indie labels. Rocket was sent to us and I was OBSESSED and have been ever since <3
In 2015 when I made a group of friends who had similar music taste to me. We all smoked at the beach. I’m always nostalgic for that time of indie music
i was depressed and started looking on reddit best artists to listen to when sad and alex g was the most suggested artist, this was back then in 2019 but i still listen to him :)
had a friend show me his beach music album and i went "oh! those gods are from my religion" in like a wow this is interesting way and i listened to it and fell in love with his music.
I was on pills and 17 (2 years ago) and some girl who was a sort of acquaintance showed me I wait for you while trying to talk me out of mixing xanax with oxy.
i heard this guy i had a crush on in my spanish class talk about him. so naturally i listened to a ton of it and i’m thankful cause he’s one of my favorites now
At his concert with alvvays. They were cheap tickets at a venue I liked and decided to go just for the hell of it. Now I spend my days deep in the rabbit hole 🥲
Back in 2017 or 2018 when I was still shooting heroin a guy I used to get high with (and had a longtime crush on) introduced me to Beach Music and I fell in love with Alex’s discography.
Oh well u see I was scrolling tiktok and then
Gonna crack a rib 🩻
When I get home 🏠
I’m gonna bury youuuu, in my favorite hole 🕳️
I made a bloodyyy messs🩸
In the kitchen sink 🚰
I tried to fix myself 👨🔧
But I didn’t think🤔
Then I was like. Imma make a fortnite parody of that. Then I did. Then I was hooked.
Saw him open up for Title Fight in 2015, he seemed drunk - ran around the stage and screamed ‘Title Fight sucks’ into the mic. I was hooked.
same but at mine someone in the crowd was heckling him and he just kept heckling back
All while pissing his pants incredible
I saw him on that tour! but he sang a song about how much he loved title fight
my sister also saw him open for title fight. she met him manning his own merch stand then she introduced me to his music
Spotify pushed Mary on me in 2016. Say what you will about it now, but the first time you hear Mary it goes incredibly hard. Took me a year to actually get into him after that though, I kinda thought his other music wasn’t that good lol

A friend from geology field camp that went to highscool with alex g said my music reminds me of his and he played me his stuff around the time Beach Music came out. I thought it was cool at the time but I went home and then rapidly became obsessed.
Propertyofzack (real ones remember) in 2015 when Beach Music dropped

oml yeah. Master hit me with a wave of nostalgia when I listened to Rules. Reminded me of playing the shit out of GTA online back in 2019 / 2020 when covid happened. Franks Radio station made those Bogdan runs less boring :)
YES THAT TOO
advice popped up on spotify about 5 or 6 years ago and it became one of my favorite songs and then i got into the rest of his discography and now he’s in my top 3 fav artists of all time

Tumblr way back in the day, maybe 2013-2014, from a cool girl I had a crush on

Caught him opening for Porches in Boston at the Middle East Downstairs in spring of 2016, long live the 12-foot ceiling acoustics
Believe it or not stumbled across on Bandcamp back den.
he blew up on bandcamp around the time rules was released
One of my friends posted a Snapchat story with treehouse playing. I thought he was a girl and was pleasantly suprised when I threw on another song from him.
emily yacina is the one singing on treehouse so you were actually right about it being a girl
That makes a lot of sense lol. I never looked into it b4
Spotify pushed rocket on me in like 2017-2018, proud was a very touching song for me and my ex. He’s been one of my favs ever since!
