Discussions after discussion, finally led to narrow down our inspirations and purposes with the band, mainly the fact to which sub-genre of Rock we will follow its conventions, and it has come down to a weird mix.
Grunge, Punk, Funk and Garage Rock, meaning we will definitely create Alternative Rock with a mix of a these different formulas. Having as main inspirations: Arctic Monkeys's lyrics, Red Hot Chili Peppers's Groove, and Nirvana energy and intentions; and actually many more but you get the idea. We as a band have many tastes, interests as well as objectives; therefore, within our lyrics it will be possibly based on feminist observations. Also, our objective with the intended aura is to fulfill the sense of nostalgia that part of our target audience, which is the Generation Z, possess. Due to the fact, the Gen Z possesses great appreciation towards the last decades pop culture to the point where TV shows, artists and even Tik Tokers are obtaining popularity by again fulfilling such need. As an example we may have Stranger Things, The Weeknd's "After Hours"; Miley Cyrus's "Plastic Hearts" and even Weezer's remake of "Take On Me" by A-Ha with the turn out of it starring with Stranger Things leading actor, Finn Wolfhard.
As a result, Flapper has as purpose to respond to the interests of the teenagers who long omn being "Old Souls", "Being born in the wrong generation", or the ones who have "superior" taste of music as indie teens think they are. We are part of those teens, therefore we want to create content that wi would also enjoy by focusing on the nostalgia to the 90's, as if would a Grunge Rock Revival, something that many Gen X and Gen Z have been waiting for.
