The writer comes off as very melodramatic, nostalgic of the years of teenage angst and anxiety, “The last winter of the noughties is coming. Oh well, more reasons to stay in and listen to sad music.” Although I am not aware of his age it appears he writes in a stage of adolescence. Very aware of his place in society and his identity, he appears sensitive to his wishing to return to the days where "hearts were worn on sleeves". It appears the writer uses music as a way to cope and identify different emotions inside him. By writing about the music, he is therefore also writing about his feelings and emotions.

The writer writes a wide range of reviews on different types of music giving him credibility because of the depth of his experience with different musical styles. The writer then gains authority by conducting an interview with an artist he often speaks of, adding consistency to his writing. The humor felt throughout his writing allows him to critique different aspects of the music he’s writing on without sounding as if he is an unknowledgeable critic. “If were walking around campus with this track on my iPod, I would have to resist the urge to raise my fists to the sky and shout along: "My body's a zombie for yoooooooooouuuu!", as that would be the equivalent of committing social suicide, I think.” A perfect portrayal of the writer’s adolescent personality that he writes with, and the sense of humor felt throughout his writing.
