Actually, it’s Mythical Nonfiction.
I finally named my genre.
MYTHICAL NONFICTION.
It lives in my writing, my music, my parenting, my relationships, my leadership, and my gardening. I freaking LIVE this way.
Mythical Nonfiction is when everything is true, but it reads like a legend.
It’s when you drop tiny factual jelly beans — real geology, real history, real science — and people look them up and whisper, “Wait… that’s actually real?”
Yes. Welcome to the show.
And for my music specifically, the sub‑genre is:
Mythical Nonfiction bedroomcore.
Born from the ancient tradition of taping a microphone to the piano, slamming the tape‑deck record button as quietly as humanly possible, and sprinting to the bench before the machine picked up the sound of my socks - the bedroomcore genre emerged in my late teens as I also started migrating to guitar. Clearly it has recently been amended.
Anyway, if you’ve been trying to figure out what I do: It’s this. This is the thing.
Mythical freaking Nonfiction. Boom.
