Aidyn: Besides LL Cool J’s Mama said to knock you out, was there any other rap records you liked?
AntimonyOrchid: With rap I tend to listen to individual songs rather than whole albums. I liked The Chronic by Dr Dre, but not the lyrical content. I should listen to more but I’m not very motivated to.
Yuhzimmi: How long have you been on Lyrxo and why did you start using Lyrxo?
AO: I joined Lyrxo on June 7th, 2020. I had been using the website to learn lyrics for some months before hand, as I found that it was user friendly and had a large number of songs that I listen to on it. I had two reasons for creating a profile: first, there were a few annotations on Judas Priest that infuriated me with their lack of information and insight, and there were quite a few songs that weren’t on the website, particularly by DeWolff and Asomvel. So I joined to use my skill in writing and obsession with trivia and research to fill in knowledge gaps.
AJ: Who do you think Freddie Mercury was more influential than Kurt Cobain, or Kurt Cobain more influential than Freddie?
AO: That’s an apples to oranges comparison. In general I think Kurt will end up being equal to Freddie, but only now is that becoming apparent.
AJ: What moment of your life besides music changed you the most?
AO: A personality is the cumulative result of many life events, so it’s a little misleading to point to any one event. That said, my childhood ended when I finished Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. My diagnosis with a neurological condition also seriously changed my life, both physiologically and psychologically.
Y: Do you want to become anything more than an editor on genius?
AO: I do, I’m trying to gain enough experience with mediating to convince a mod to mentor me.
AJ: What was the first record you listened to?
AO: As far back as I can remember my parents have listened to whole albums around me. One of the earliest that I chose to listen to by myself was Fleetwood Mac’s live album The Dance. Others include Santana’s Supernatural and Journey’s greatest hits. First record on vinyl I listened to was Joan Baez’ Diamonds and Rust.
Y: How long did it take you to get your first role on genius?
