Hey everyone! I’ve seen a few Community Intro pages and threads within other communities, but not yet for Rock Genius. So here it is! Feel free to introduce yourself below and tell us a little bit about yourself.
I’m Stella, and I’m a moderator here on Genius. I joined in June 2015, became an editor in January 2016, and earned my purple name in August 2016. My favorite rock bands include My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, New Years Day, Nirvana, and You Me At Six. When I’m not on the site, I’m usually listening to music, writing my own lyrics, or drawing.
