Staff Picks: Chloe Flaherty (NYC)

It’s important to remember that Monster Children isn’t a single narcissistic paranoid schizophrenic whispering to themselves in front of a laptop all day, but a group of anywhere from five to fifteen narcissistic paranoid schizophrenics depending on who is or isn’t in a k-hole.

And because there are so many of us, all with different styles and tastes, there is a lot of conflict in email chains and text threads and bar booths. ‘Kelly Slater is a God!’ someone will yell. ‘I don’t think God is bald!’ another will retort, and so on and so forth. It is our differences of taste and perspective that make us worthwhile, and that facilitates the production of such diverse and multifaceted content every week (you’re welcome).

That in mind, to highlight some of the specific staff and also to allow them a platform to show their garbage musical taste without it being necessarily associated with Monster Children as a whole, we present Staff Picks; the musical loves of our individual contributors from NYC to Melby (I said it, Josh, suck on that); London to Tokyo.

This week, we hear what NYC-based photography and editorial intern Chloe Flaherty listens to. As you will see in the photo, there are X’s on Chloe’s hands, which tells us that she is young, and therefore the most desirable advertising demographic as her taste will guide the future of culture and economics for decades to come. What is her taste? Horse-themed songs and Fred Again, but also many other songs which I do enjoy, and my old decrepit irrelevant ass will come around to it eventually but surely too late, for she and her generation will have already moved well on.
