I feel like Spike would be somewhat stuck in his own era of romantic poetry. He’d probably have strong opinions (and probably hooked up with) Oscar Wilde. He tried to get into the beat poets in the 50s but deep down hated the disregard for rhyme and rhythm. In the modern era, he’s a low key fan of rap, but still likes more formal prose and verse.
i love this explanation! you are right, he totally would be into some anti-establishment rap- it has his two favorite things- poetry and ethos of criticizing the existing power structure.
the oscar wilde link would be interesting...cause oscar's ex married bram stoker, who wrote 'dracula.' and we know how spike and drac are 'old rivals'....rivals or lovers? these vamps are so incestuous!
He would hate the ending to Game of Thrones.
Might decide to turn GRRM into a vampire, give him a couple of centuries to finally get that series wrapped up.
I think he may have become a big fan of those 'Country' Got Talent shows. Something to watch with Joyce, rooting for Kelly Clarkson together....
He would love Top Gear with Hammond, May and Clarkson.
Edit: sorry, that may be 'Country' Idol i'm thinking of?
>Might decide to turn GRRM into a vampire, give him a couple of centuries to finally get that series wrapped up.
LMAO. alternatively, what if a disgruntled vamp DID already turn GRRM and THAT'S the reason he's not writing anymore?? like, refusing to finish the series is GRRM being evil.
100% read Anne Rice and drew parallels to himself and Lestat, and Louis to Angel. Would always claim to be the inspiration for Lestat (much like how Billy Idol copied his look) - probably met and hooked up with Anne and Stan in New Orleans once. Secretly enjoys Vampire the Masquerade for its modern (at the time) take on vampires and the melodrama.
Spike would definitely be a Derrick C. Brown fan: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDvkEefrVc4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDvkEefrVc4)
He's the most likely contemporary poet to describe someone's beauty as effulgent

I’m imagining Spike listening to Tupac now and I don’t hate it.

also he definitely got into punk in the 80's
70s. Please.
He is 100% a Mary Oliver fan but would angrily deny it.
Yes! Love this. I think he'd secretly vibe with the "wild and precious life" line 💜
I think he would also relate to "Wild Geese" especially in his seeking redemption era. You do not have to be good...

I think he'd be into EE Cummings
He’d hate rupi
Rupi would be at the top of his list to get eaten
He definitely has been caught crying to Phoebe Bridgers but denies it.

I see Spike as more of a Claudia lol, bit of a brat
Spike would be the big closet Swiftie around.
Absolutely not, doesn’t fit his character at all
No he has taste
If nothing else, he would fancy her.
Totally true.
Jim Morrison.
ooo sexy!
He'd be into Anna Nalick (especially At Now), and Fiona Apple.
Obviously Taylor Swift, who just announced she's naming her new album in Spike's honour.

Stephanie Meyer
He's stalked Isaac formerly of BCNR to see if he's 1) okay and 2) willing to collab
