Bands suggestions too, curious what folks are into!
Video Game Music š®šµ
Same, I have a playlist full of songs from games that I've played like Nier automata and Undertale. Used to think people who liked video game music were cringey until I started playing video games myself and found the songs very catchy
The Nier automata soundtrack is on another level. What a collection of absolute masterpieces.
Weight of the world still brings a tear to my eye.
To me, it's both Weight of the world and Song of the Ancients that makes me teary eyed.
You hear the album Determination by Ace Waters and RichardBB? Metal undertale covers.
Yes! I also really like his Bad Apple version. I actually like it more than the orig imo
Ori and the blind forest, a hat in time, deltarune. It's amazing how good videogame soundtrack can get!
The soundtracks for almost any of the Guilty Gear games are just pure energy and fun and I totally recommend them
man of culture, plus lofi - it's safe to say i dislike songs with lyrics š
Dang I only really recognize Sleep Token, Soen, and Persefone from this list. All S-tier bands, Iāll have to check out the rest.
Pardon my ignorance. What is S-tier bands?
I meant S-tier as in ranking. If you look at tier lists on the internet, they will often rank things using letters.ļæ¼ I was basically just saying that I consider them to be bands of the highest tier, Iāve attached a link to show you what I mean.
+1 for Sleep Token. Amazing band, love their latest album TMBtE.
I just discovered them recently on a spotify suggestion. So glad. Sometimes things just work out. It's a numbers game. I've probably turned away 95% of what spotify recommends. I've had premium for a decade and the discover weekly playlist is still hit or miss. Sometimes I see a pattern, like every other week there may be a good song.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
The PetroDragronic Apocalypse is one of the best records Iāve heard in some time, from any band, in any genre.
I canāt stop listening to it. To add, Iām not really a fan of any of their other records. Theyāre clearly good, just doesnāt resonate with me as much as this one does.
Moooottorr....
ā¦Spiiiriiiitā¦..
Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Neil Young, Beck, Prince
Have you listened to Lord Huron? They are a modern band playing a traditional rock style, and they have a deep love for Neil Young
Thanks! It took a while for it to sync with my instance but I can subscribe now.
I still most often listen to Grunge and 90 Hard and Alt rock. According to tidal Pearl Jam is a little more than half of all my song listens every month.
Side note, I think the collective noun for Lemmy users in any music thread should be Motorheads.
I used to hate grunge and especially Pearl Jam as a kid, but the genre's grown on me a lot the last couple years
Power Metal:
Powerwolf
Gloryhammer
Alestorm
Sabaton
Windrose
Pagan music:
Emerald Rose
Tyr
And then sea shanties, folk music, Irish (rebel and otherwise), labor/protest music, and the occasional bouts of pure randomness.
Right now I cannot get enough of Miracle of Sound. Dude just checks every box there is for me. It's like if every other kind of music I listen to got gene-spliced into one guy.
In no particular order other stuff:
Blackmore's Night
Clamavi de Profundis
Omnia
Faun
Gloryhammer!
dundun DOUBLE dundun WIZARD
Sad for all the drama though but now we have two "gloryhammer" with Angus McSix.
I entirely missed this. What happened?
Oh damn. Quick recap:
The band fired Thomas Winkler (lead singer) aka Angus. No reason was given but his poor live performance after the pandemic was rumored.
Then some old chat was leaked that put to light that James (bassist aka hootsman) and Chris (song writer / former keyboardist aka Zargotrax) were racist/mysoginic trying to take advantage of their status to fuck fans.
Then some allegation of abuse against James were made.
At the end of it all Christ wrote a PR excuse letter. Gloryhammer got a new lead singer (Sozos Michael). Thomas went on his way to make a new band (Angus McSix).
So we got two album this year with gloryhammer style.
Goddamn. I thought people saying "Angus McSix" were making some kind of joke about whoever replaced Thomas.
Sucks that his bandmates turned out to be that kind of people, but I'll definitely look into his new project.
Thanks for the recap!
Just be careful there is two song order. The one of the track listing (the bad one) and the lore one (the good one).
For whatever reason they decided not to put the song in the lore order so the story makes no sense if you listen to the album in the track listening order.
That's fuckin' ridiculous.
I have the exact same list for power metal lol, only thing I'd add is twilight force.
I also like chiptune stuff, a great artist that kinda crosses over chiptune and metal is rainbowdragoneyes, he has done remixes of gloryhammer and alestorm, and has a whole EP of remixed and OC pirate metal chiptune.
I swear I've heard of twilight force but for the life of me I can't remember what they sound like. I'll have to look them up and get reacquainted.
Some of their more prominent characteristics are high, soaring vocals, kinda constantly epic sounding, and pretty cheesy (which is a good thing)
I like them a lot
So a little bit Falconer, a little bit DragonForce?
Genres are for normies
I'd say I used to listen to metal, but nowadays, I still listen to metal lol. Huge fan of Progressive Metal/Djent/Thall bands. Not much into Deathcore/Doom Metal lately however.
At work tho, I tend to listen to a lot of instrumental stuff and genres vary greatly: mathrock, jazz, electronic, game/movie OSTs, blues, fusion, and among others.
During drives, mainly depends on the mood, but mostly revolves around the above given genres.
To name a few artists, I usually listen to the below (in random order):
Jakub Zytecki
Chon
Plini
Periphery
Necrophagist (when r u guys coming back š)
Dirty Loops
Up Dharma Down
Joji
Tycho
Sleep Token
Lorna Shore
Tom Misch
Would love to share some more, but these are what I thought of at the moment.
Woah, I've actually been to a Chon show. Totally didn't expect to see that band pop up in this thread
Lucky! How were they upfront? I've only seen their live shows on YouTube.
They were great. I think it was around 2015-2016, and I still have a Chon pin from the show too!
I just learned about the circles people run in at metal shows.
Ever listen to the ocean?
Mostly sea shanties, Irish rebel songs, and Kesha.
OT, but... How did we get to lemmites and not lemmings?
Here lately I mostly listen to the kind of music that your most insufferable hipster friend would try to recommend you.
The Mountain Goats
The Decemberists
Radical Face
Neutral Milk Hotel
The Shins
Pat the Bunny
Andrew Jackson Jihad
Mal Blum
Daisy the Great
Delicate Steve
Professor Caveman
The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets
Gonna use this post as a chance to give a shout out to Electric Callboy which I recently gave a chance to after they kept popping up in my recommendations, they're some sort of trance metalcore band, and boy do they have fun songs.
Post rock, synthwave, japanese jazz. I also love hard rock, but don't listen to it too often, because I can't listen to it while I'm working
This is a bit messy looking, but these are my top five fav āgenresā and my fav āartistsā from each (genres in quotes because half of these arenāt exactly genres. Artists in quotes because one is not the artist but a sound the real artists use).
Kawaii metal: Babymetal and Ladybaby
Anime music: guess Iāll say Aimer because thatās probably the one artist with the most anime songs in my playlist (shoutout to Nier games soundtracks because they donāt fit in any of my other fav āgenresā)
Vocaloids and utauloids: Flower is my fav vocaloid - love how she sounds, love her designs, and it helps that she was made for j-rock/metal
Vtubers/Hololive performers: Bae is bae
Rock/metal: Avenged Sevenfold and Metallica
Somehow I missed all the good 2000s emo music, but love it now.
I am listening the to The Wonder Years' full discography and man, they just don't miss for me.
Have you listened to Spitalfield? If not the album remember right now by them from 2002 is well worth a listen.
I'll check it out. Thanks!
"Those Days You Felt Alive" was a good song.
On my peak-emo list:
The Rocking Horse Winner - State of Feeling Concentration (still so, so good, really)
Dashboard Confessional - The Swiss Army Romance
Further Seems Forever - The Moon Is Down
listen to electric callboy
My first love is Hip Hop but I love lots of genres Funk, Soul, Jazz, Electronic, House, Techno, Dreampop, Ambient, Balearic, Indie/Alternative - Iām probably missing something š. Iāve even setup some communities here on Lemmy for my music genres that I love.
Some of my favourite artists:
Mount Kimbie
The xx
J Dilla
Flying Lotus
Larry Heard/Mr Fingers
The Avalanches
Khruangbin
Beach House
Toro Y Moi
Erykah Badu
Miles Davis
Four Tet
Leon Vynehall
Jonny Nash
EDIT: Adding City Pop genre as well since I saw another user comment that
2nd EDIT: Oh and Reggae, Dub too!
3rd EDIT: Okay I keep adding artists thinking I canāt believe I left such and such off haha Iāll stop now!
I am mostly listening to melodic death metal.
But since I discovered Lorna Shore, I enjoy more extreme genres as well, and I am getting my feet wet with deathcore.
I like the idea of melodic death metal, got any suggestions?
Lines by Long Distance Calling.
The chorus is the best.
This is a cool song but it has nothing to do with melodic death metal. That would be bands like (old) In Flames, At the Gates, Amon Amarth or Dark Tranquillity.
First off, I'm not the arbiter of what does and doesn't belong to a certain genre. That's, to a certain extent, subjective and people don't always agree. However, there usually is at least some consensus in the community, otherwise the genre names would be useless.
That said, I personally wouldn't call this melodic death metal either. Most of the song is just clean singing and clean guitars, both of which are sometimes used in melodeath, but they're not a defining aspect of it. And even the parts with harsh vocals and distorted guitars are missing the riffs that are typical for the genre. It's closer to a progressive death metal or groove metal sound similar to Gojira or Opeth.
Overall Jinjer are also definitely not a melodeath band, they're metalcore, which is often seen as a subgenre of hardcore, not metal, although there are bands that are more on the metal side.
As I said, I'm not the genre police, this is just my opinion. But I think (sub)genre definitions are useful when talking about music and if we start using them too loosely, they lose their meaning and as a result, their utility.
Hey thanks for that. I think melodic death metal is starting to become clear to me.
I can't speak for anyone else, but my favorite couple of genres over the past half year or so has definitely been 90s pop music and vocalsynth (vocaloid and other similar products).
I only really started getting into 90s pop because I found a playlist of songs for it on yt and decided to save it because I liked what I heard.
Lots of classic rock. Billy Joel, led zeppelin, etc.
But lately I've been on a classical music kick.
I was recently revisiting some Billy Joel. He really was a great folk storyteller.
Like, Allentown tells a history so succinctly but authentically. It really is a skill he honed.
He's incredibly good at turning experiences into words. Allentown is still relevant today, the way he wrote it it just describes so many peoples American experience.
But he did that a lot. Where I think he's best with it is more emotional songs, he really captures whatever emotion he's getting into words well. Like, Captain Jack does a good job of telling the story of someone in small town America, but I always heard it as a song about depression. All this stuff is happening around you and you're just kinda there for it, not really feeling much of anything.
Or how he captures that nervous feeling about meeting a girl for the first time in Get it Right the First Time. He is so good at getting emotion into music.
I recently started listening to classical and boy does it require a completely different listening approach! I'm listening almost exclusively to Mahler's No.5 since my attention fades away after the first movement and I need lots of listening to know what's actually going on
Mahlers 5th is good, but I think his 4th is better.
But my personal favorite is Beethoven's 5th. I used to HATE that symphony when I was a kid, my grandmother loved it and it bored me to tears.
Turns out the version she had on CD that she always listened to was the worst recording you can find of it. It was WAY too slow, it made the whole thing drag on. That symphony works best when it's damn near rushing. When I got back into classical a few months back I found the Berliner Philharmoniker playing it directed by Simon Rattle, and the sprint through that symphony, and it works SO MUCH BETTER. It was very clearly intended to be played fast, so many of the parts feel way more interesting and there's sections where each part of the orchestra feels like it's tripping over the others to be heard.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Since you look much more knowledgeable than me, could you help me understand how to navigate the overwhelming amount of different versions for every piece of music? For now I'm completely ignoring who's playing and conducting and sometimes I timidly try to listen to another version, usually just to come back to the comfort of the first version I listened
Usually I try to listen to a few different versions until I land on one that really clicks with me. It takes a little bit to really understand what that means. To me the orchestra is less important than the director. The music is always the same, but the director decides which parts will pop out the most, how fast the tempo is, and how he wants the orchestra to play parts.
I literally picked it because I thought the album cover was interesting because it had some color. A lot of classical albums are committed to black and white for some reason.
Googling a piece can help, especially if you search for like "beethoven 5th best recordings." You'll find a lot of opinions out there, and it can help you get a starting point for a given piece to go from.
If you find yourself wanting to go to a more "comfortable" version, it means something in the recording you're listening to isn't clicking with you. That's OK! Try to identify what it is that makes you not like that recording, and what the one you prefer does differently that makes you prefer it. It helps to write it down; if you make posts here or on Mastodon that may help a lot with articulating what you do or don't like (and boost engagement).
Seemingly "simple" things like "i think this section is too fast" or "the version I like has the horn section louder here, but this version focussed on the windpipes" really influence how you hear the music and make a big difference, and are completely valid reasons to prefer one recording over another.
I think I'm the only one here who likes mainstream J-pop.
Anybody for Aimer, ReoNa, LiSa, Yorushika, Minami, TK from Ling Tosite Sigure, nZk, Uru, Tielle, Yuuri?
No? I suppose I'm alone in my listening habits. I do like baroque music though
Iād like to be. Got any recommendations?
The artists I mentioned in my comment are whom I have listened to recently
Some absolutely belting suggestions in this thread nice work guys!
tool
I listen to Rock, Punk Rock, Pop Punk, Ska, EDM, and K-Pop.
Some of my favorite bands are Thrice, Streetlight Manifesto, Alkaline Trio, Band-Maid, Dreamcatcher. I dunno man, I just like music.
YESSSS. FINALLY someone else on here who loves Streetlight! Tomas and the rest of the band are pure musical geniuses.
Have you listened to Tomas' acoustic Streetlight albums The Hand That Thieves and Streetlight Lullabies? They're amazing.
Yes! I absolutely love the Toh Kay albums. I've listened to his entire discography, including Smiles for Macavity and the demos. I haven't heard a single thing that I dislike from him!
speedcore, artcore, jcore, vocaloid
Is vocalcore a thing? I bet you'd love it.
My musical tastes vary from rock and itās many subgenres and off shoots to dozens of genres of EDM (mainly Progressive House, Trance, Techno, Psytrance, Dubstep, and Drum & Bass). I have a Spotify library exceeding 12k tracks.
Some of my favorite acts in no particular order include The Offspring, Rise Against, Pearl Jam, Ghost, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Breaking Benjamin, Billy Talent, Linkin Park, Paramore, Deadmau5, Feed Me, Kill The Noise, Liquid Stranger, Dance With The Dead, Ghostland Observatory, Rezz, Eric Prydz, Infected Mushroom, Heatbeat, Death On The Balcony, Hernan Cattaneo, and Lee Burridge just to name a few.
rock/metal and most derivatives. for example metallica, ac/dc, iris and others.
almost exclusively electronic music, just can't seem to get enough of it. (ambient, downtempo, drum & bass, dub, electro, glitch, goa trance, house, idm, psybass, psychill, psytrance, synthwave, techno). I'd be happy to try to give recommendations of any of these if you ask.
also love funk like Parliament/Funkadelic and some electronic focused jambands like STS9 & Lotus
What are some of your ambient recommendations? I was just listening to Tim Hecker's Konoyo, also dig stuff like Global Communication, Boards of Canada, Grouper, Human Mesh Dance, Stars of the Lid, Biosphere.
Really into a electronic psychedelic cumbia genre that goes by Psicodelica SelvĆ”tica (and other names) : Dengue Dengue Dengue!, Chancha Via Circuito, Yeahman, Son Rompe Pera, El RemolĆ³n's Selva really hits the spot too.
I prefer my ambient to have a psychedelic aspect to it instead of just pure drone, so probably my favorite ambient artist is Ishq, namely his albums Orchid, Sama, And Awake, Bloom, and Lotus. Sinepearl and Chandanam are also artists that have a similar sound to Ishq. also check out Woob's Repurpose album
getting into more of the psybient/psychill genre than pure ambient, mostly everything on Ultimae Records is gold imo (Solar Fields, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Cell, H.U.V.A. Network, Sync24, etc.)
Spacebass over on my end : G Jones, EPROM, Alix Perez, Ivy Lab, Of The Trees, Chee, Tsuruda, ISOxo, Culprate, Lab Group
This song has been on solid repeat for me lately GATZB - Get Down
Deep House. It's basically distraction free version of House.
anything you recommend? looking for more artists like those on Naked Music Recordings (Blue Six, Miguel Migs, Lisa Shaw, Aya, etc.)
Artists: Blockhead, Wax Tailor, RJD2, Abilities, Mos Def, Gift of Gab, Sage Francis, Wu-Tang Clan, Eyedea, Aesop Rock, MF Doom, Run the Jewels, Tonedeff, A Tribe Called Quest, Cunninlynguists, Nas, Substantial, The Roots, Dead Prez, Black Star, Digable Planets, PackFM, Talib Kweli, Smif-n-Wessun, The Notorious B.I.G., Warren G, Immortal Technique, Big Pun, Murs, Hieroglyphics

Iāve kinda got all my eggs in different baskets but mostly I listen to pop punk, alternative, and some classic rock
Mostly it's different subgenres of rock and metal (like 70% of all comments here. Seriously, I've never met so many ppl that listen to my favorite music in one place xD).
I kinda have a few moods. For the "fun and energetic" mood I have hard rock and heavy metal, for the "my job is f*cking me and I don't like it" I have nu metal and some other things that sound angry, for the "fancy" I have a strange mix of P!atD, Franz Ferdinand, some songs that are creepy/sad but sound happy ("I can't decide", "Don't fear the Reaper", "To The Sea") and steampunk/dark cabaret/murder song bands (Voltaire, Coppelius, the Cog is Dead, American Murder Song)
Mainly early 2000s "Whose Line is it Anyway?" hoedowns. My favorite is the one where they make fun of Colin's baldness.
Cold wave, no wave, post rock, uplifting trance, mutant disco, freak folk
Happy Hardcore, Psytrance, Progressive Techno :)
Classical
Noise rock
Stoner rock
Industrial
Metal, the anime of music. Currently in a stoner and sludge phase.
IDM and Jazz
I oscillate between 3 moods. For the longest time I exclusively listened to metal and rock, System of a Down being my all time favorite. Also Primus, Korn, Rammstein, Suicidal Tendencies, ICP, and La Dispute (not exactly metal/rock but fits in with all my angry music that keeps me happy lol).
My other mood, when Iām struggling with my mental health, is Pink Floyd. All the Pink Floyd, all day long, listen to the same album on repeat for 3 weeks straight Pink Floyd. My current favorite album is The Final Cut. It haunts me in an amazing way.
Recently Iāve been on an alt/electro pop kick. Ashnikko is my favorite and I can't wait to see her on tour later this year. Also Kim Petras, Medusa, Poppy (kinda scratches that metal itch too), Royal & the Serpent, YONAKA, SUUNS, and IC3PEAK (ALSO kinda scratches the metal itch).
Well, Fuckmyfuckingass, if you must know. Punk, folk, and folk punk with some rock and classical mixed in there too
Progressive and djent metal
Iām a big rock/punk rock guy so Iād totally recommend Green Day, Foo Fighters, Blink 182 and Sun 41
Ever heard of Brutus? Give it a listen; I'm curious your thoughts from a rock/punk perspective. I've never been into punk, but Brutus has punkish sounds (to me) and I really dig her voice.
The Beta Band, Vulfpeck, Khruangbin, Holy Hive, Tame Impala, Hippo Campus, STRFKR, Greta Van Fleet
I'm a real big fan of grunge. All my discovery feeds are based off nothing but 90's grunge.
I'm really into mid 2000s pop-punk. Obviously the big ones like blink-182 and Green Day, but also a bunch of the smaller ones like The Starting Line, Rufio, New Found Glory, etc. Those were the bands I listened to when I was learning to play guitar. I learned so many of their songs because they were easy AF (except Rufio). And I guess those songs really stuck with me.
Most flavours of metal, hard rock, punk, some blues stuff like SRV and Gary Moore. Basically, if it has loud guitars in it, I'm there.
Gridlink just dropped a new track and I was reminded of what a banger Longhena was
Legitimately almost every genre, as long as I'm the mood. Lately tho I've mostly been listening to The Fall of Troy, Blink-182, Dance Gavin Dance, This Town Needs Guns, and good ole Pro Era artists like Capital Steez and Joey Bada$$.
Massive fan of grime music (!grime@lemmy.world) (similarish to hip hop but with electronic beats) and its predecessor, UK garage (summery dance music vibes). UK rap in general is a big thing for me. I listen to drill music on occasion but not super often (modern gangster rap basically, although there's a lot of commercial drill nowadays). Been really into jersey club music lately - I think the beats are really cool.
Other than that, I enjoy (but don't listen to actively) baile funk, some varieties of house music, deep/original dubstep music (not the screechy dubstep most people think of), reggae, lofi-hiphop, the underground NY hip hop scene
British country music? Is this what cultural appropriation feels like? I don't like it.
Yeah it's weird I know but I've wrapped around to liking it lol
Ska Punk, rock, and power metal. My favourite bands at the moment are:
Streetlight Manifesto/Catch 22/BOTAR (Absolutely phenominal in every way)
Night Gaunts
Bomb The Music Industry! (And Jeff Rosenstock's other projects)
Beast In Black
NanowaR of Steel
Reel Big Fish
Less Than Jake
Mad Caddies
The Trews
Semisonic
Flogging Molly
Alestorm
My music taste is... eclectic. For example, the last 20 searches on Spotify are
Sober - Childish Gambino
Numb - Linkin Park
Being me to life - Evanescence
Still Fly - The Devil Wears Prada
... Ready for it? - Taylor Swift
Tighten up - The Black Keys
Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls - Groovio
I Miss You - Blink 182
Give me One Reason - Tracy Chapman
Canned Heat - Jamiroquai
Little Girl Gone - Chinchilla
In the Waiting Line - Zero 7
Chicago soundtrack
Ben Folds
Push Up - Creeds
Without You - Joseph
Boombastic - Shaggy
Jerk it Out - Caesars
Formation - Beyonce
Gasolina - Daddy Yankee
Bet you can't tell how old I am. š IYKYK...
Mostly rock. Specifically love 80s hair metal and hard rock, and prog rock/metal. Lately I've had Sleep Token albums on constant rotation.
I love most electronic music with my favourite subgenre being electro. Although dubstep and a trance are also up there rn
got any electro recommendations? I love MetaComplex, Morphology, Microlith, Plant43, E.R.P., Shinra, Reedale Rise, etc.
Glad to see an EDM fan on here
But I'm going to do a shitty job recommending music, since you listed the artists who do like dnb electro... Which is an area that I'm almost totally clueless. But to take a shot in the dark, UNMD. It's frenchcore techno so it's a bit different. Maybe look at psy techno since it has the same kind of beat whilst keeping some the melodic parts of electro.
Sorry that was awful. But alot of the artists I listen to have really fat melodies which is like the exact opposite of what your looking for. Although I do like some of the artists you listed, so I'm gonna mix those into my playlists. So thanks I guess
Edit: I looked through your post history, defo look into psy techno.
I almost exclusively listen to video game music. I've been listening to a lot of music from Pokemon Black and White lately.
The band Sleep Token has been a majority of my played music for over a month now, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
I mostly listen to stuff like Metalcore, Deathcore, Djent, Nu Metal, Prog, Instrumental, I love metal covers of pop songs. Also like hard dance, dubstep, DnB, some pop, some rap, most anything as long as it isn't tasteless.
Sleep Token. Discovered it recently too. Man that guy can SING! Love it. Chokehold is great.
I listen to a bit of everything. Bands in my recent rotation include Low, 3rd Secret, Motƶrhead, Rick James, L7 and Joji, Aimee Mann, Mdou Moctar, Aphex Twin, Beastie Boys. Donny Benet
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizardās PetroDragon Apocalypse is my favorite album all year.
My favorite all time genre is industrial. So stuff like The Young Gods, Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, KMFDM, Ministry, Filter, Mulitple Man, Meat Beat Manifesto, Pig, Emptyset, Youth Code, Atari Teenage Riot / Alec Empire, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Downloadā¦
I fell in love with Low the first time I heard "Venus."
I heard āCongregationā in the show Devs (loved it), and was surprised I never listened to them before. Went back and listened to the whole catalogā¦ several times over. Itās the best airplane music.
I really like J-Core right now. But I sometimes just tune in to the Dance genre. I'm a bit of an allrounder, because I hear lots of electronical music, as stated above: J-Core, Dance, Techno, House, Hard style, French Core and Psytrance. Just to name a few.
I had my phase, where I mostly listened to a guy named Otira. Now I listen a lot to someone called t+pazolite. My current favorite Track is called "Hyper 4id"
Last four concerts were Erykah Badu, Blood Red Shoes, Marcy Playground and Tears for Fears. They were all amazing and you can't really go wrong with any album from any of them.
Right now: Steely Danās album āAjaā
I'm slightly biased towards progressive rock (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin), vanera (Baitaca, Os Serranos), neofolk and folk metal (Faun, Korpiklaani... does Kayah's album with BregoviÄ count?), some punk and grunge (The Offspring is still one of my favs). But it's a bit too messy to generalise.
two of my very favorite genres are future garage and atmospheric black metal, but i'm a melomaniac and listen to a ton of genres
I like Funk and Soul and Techno and Rock and Classic Hip Hop and the best from the 60s to the 80s.
I guess i just love good Music
Right now I'm really into indie/alternative with some funk and rock in there.
My favorite band of all time is Her's.
Inner Wave,
Jack Stauber,
Pink Floyd,
Binki,
Bakar.
All amazing artists and all of Her's songs are amazing
Heavy Metal. Most things with screaming/growling that has actual lyrics are gold to me. Ice Nine Kills manages to blend that with my love of the horror genre, and discovering them felt like finding a new home.
Drake, 90s rap, classic rock and Tame Impala.
Mostly extreme metal, moreso since going back to college, but I also like post-rock, shoegaze, and classical amongst other things. Try this out for size.
Death metal, experimental metal, vaporwave/mallsoft, witch house, and experimental punk.
But seriously, my music taste is pretty much her. Otherwise I like alt rock, rock (not too heavy though), ballads, pop that has good lyrics and a decent hook, and any song I hear that has guitars I like 25% more than those that don't.
Mostly Irish folk (with a healthy infusion of Irish rebel music mixed in)
I'll listen to almost anything at least once. The only genre I actively avoid is current country. If I had to pick in genre, it would be early 2000's emo.
The most recent album I listened to all the way through was Wellerman - The Album by Nathan Evans. Put on Wellerman, the song, for my son. Ended up liking the whole album.
My most listened albums are probably a toss-up between Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (My Chemical Romance), College Dropout (Kanye), Deloused in the Comatorium (The Mars Volta), or Toxicity (System of a Down).
Amd according to my "Your Spotify" instance, my most listened artist of the last year was Alt-J.
I tend to hyperfixate though, so I'll listen to the same album/genre for weeks/months, then not listen to it at all for months while I listen to something else.
Also, for anyone that selfhosts and uses Spotify, Your Spotify is nice to have for threads like this.
I'm all over the place. Willie Nelson, Rodrigo y Gabriella, OutKast, The Cure, Beck, Blackalicious, B-52s, Talking Heads, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, James Brown, The Clash, Ray Charles, Jonny Cash, The Who, ELO, The Beatles, The Guess Who.
Basically I start with listening to different genres of music, and add them into a big playlist and keep looking for new music to add to the playlist. I love finding collaborations that bands have done and spinoff bands.
I personally like chiptunes and 80s rock
Folk drum and bass (e.g. monster ceilidh band)
I'm pretty big on americana lately. Lots of good bands to discover. I'm also getting back into ska.
Only happy hardcore
i listen to everything, but my favorite artists are That Handsome Devil, Frank Zappa, Death Grips, blink-182, Bjƶrk, Tom Waits, Prince
my favorite album right now is Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Midwest emo... Camping in Alaska, caving, cap'n jazz, American football etc. Highly recommend caving if you're into that sort of stuff, hands down the most underrated artist I've ever seen.
Highly recommend the Piano Guys. They mix classical music with modern hits.
Ambient, electronica, Post punk, emo and goth stuff, synthwave, sludge / stoner metal, industrial, and folk music.
My favorites over the years were
Chemical Brothers
Underworld
The Presets
Aphex Twin
Brian Eno
Boards of Canada
Ministry
Nine Inch Nails (but boy did he jump the shark hard)
Skinny Puppy / oHGr / Download / Phil Western
EinstĆ¼rzende Neubauten
The Cure
Killing Joke
Neil Young
I don't know why, but I also gravitate to girl guitar bands. Especially if they sing in harmony. Instant goosebumps!
Synthpop, new wave, dark wave, cold wave, minimal wave, post-punk, goth rock....
...but like synthpop more than anything else. I gotta have those hooks. <3

Vulcan has diverse range of favourite music...
But for now, mostly Dub Techno, Visual Kei, Symphonic Metal, Black Metal, and Classical.
Video Game Music š®šµ
Same, I have a playlist full of songs from games that I've played like Nier automata and Undertale. Used to think people who liked video game music were cringey until I started playing video games myself and found the songs very catchy
The Nier automata soundtrack is on another level. What a collection of absolute masterpieces.
Weight of the world still brings a tear to my eye.
To me, it's both Weight of the world and Song of the Ancients that makes me teary eyed.
You hear the album Determination by Ace Waters and RichardBB? Metal undertale covers.
Yes! I also really like his Bad Apple version. I actually like it more than the orig imo
Ori and the blind forest, a hat in time, deltarune. It's amazing how good videogame soundtrack can get!
The soundtracks for almost any of the Guilty Gear games are just pure energy and fun and I totally recommend them
man of culture, plus lofi - it's safe to say i dislike songs with lyrics š
Touhou music is a piece of gold
The Stardew Valley music is where itās at
Progressive metal
Playlist generated, thanks.
Plenty or great bands there!
Dang I only really recognize Sleep Token, Soen, and Persefone from this list. All S-tier bands, Iāll have to check out the rest.
Pardon my ignorance. What is S-tier bands?
I meant S-tier as in ranking. If you look at tier lists on the internet, they will often rank things using letters.ļæ¼ I was basically just saying that I consider them to be bands of the highest tier, Iāve attached a link to show you what I mean.
+1 for Sleep Token. Amazing band, love their latest album TMBtE.
I just discovered them recently on a spotify suggestion. So glad. Sometimes things just work out. It's a numbers game. I've probably turned away 95% of what spotify recommends. I've had premium for a decade and the discover weekly playlist is still hit or miss. Sometimes I see a pattern, like every other week there may be a good song.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
The PetroDragronic Apocalypse is one of the best records Iāve heard in some time, from any band, in any genre.
I canāt stop listening to it. To add, Iām not really a fan of any of their other records. Theyāre clearly good, just doesnāt resonate with me as much as this one does.
Moooottorr....
ā¦Spiiiriiiitā¦..
Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Neil Young, Beck, Prince
Have you listened to Lord Huron? They are a modern band playing a traditional rock style, and they have a deep love for Neil Young
This is their most popular album, I think:
https://youtu.be/WiwWgN5O3WQ
Oh wow, excellent; thanks!
I like Japanese City Pop.
Thereās a City Pop community here on Lemmy you can join!
Do you have a link? I could only find the lemmit.online one but that one just crossposts from Reddit.
!citypop@lemmy.world
Thanks! It took a while for it to sync with my instance but I can subscribe now.
I still most often listen to Grunge and 90 Hard and Alt rock. According to tidal Pearl Jam is a little more than half of all my song listens every month.
Side note, I think the collective noun for Lemmy users in any music thread should be Motorheads.
I used to hate grunge and especially Pearl Jam as a kid, but the genre's grown on me a lot the last couple years
Power Metal:
Powerwolf
Gloryhammer
Alestorm
Sabaton
Windrose
Pagan music:
Emerald Rose
Tyr
And then sea shanties, folk music, Irish (rebel and otherwise), labor/protest music, and the occasional bouts of pure randomness.
Right now I cannot get enough of Miracle of Sound. Dude just checks every box there is for me. It's like if every other kind of music I listen to got gene-spliced into one guy.
In no particular order other stuff:
Blackmore's Night
Clamavi de Profundis
Omnia
Faun
Gloryhammer!
dundun DOUBLE dundun WIZARD
Sad for all the drama though but now we have two "gloryhammer" with Angus McSix.
I entirely missed this. What happened?
Oh damn. Quick recap:
The band fired Thomas Winkler (lead singer) aka Angus. No reason was given but his poor live performance after the pandemic was rumored.
Then some old chat was leaked that put to light that James (bassist aka hootsman) and Chris (song writer / former keyboardist aka Zargotrax) were racist/mysoginic trying to take advantage of their status to fuck fans.
Then some allegation of abuse against James were made.
At the end of it all Christ wrote a PR excuse letter. Gloryhammer got a new lead singer (Sozos Michael). Thomas went on his way to make a new band (Angus McSix).
So we got two album this year with gloryhammer style.
https://loudwire.com/alleged-leaked-chat-gloryhammer-misogynists-racists/ if you want to see the chat.
Goddamn. I thought people saying "Angus McSix" were making some kind of joke about whoever replaced Thomas.
Sucks that his bandmates turned out to be that kind of people, but I'll definitely look into his new project.
Thanks for the recap!
Just be careful there is two song order. The one of the track listing (the bad one) and the lore one (the good one).
For whatever reason they decided not to put the song in the lore order so the story makes no sense if you listen to the album in the track listening order.
That's fuckin' ridiculous.
I have the exact same list for power metal lol, only thing I'd add is twilight force.
I also like chiptune stuff, a great artist that kinda crosses over chiptune and metal is rainbowdragoneyes, he has done remixes of gloryhammer and alestorm, and has a whole EP of remixed and OC pirate metal chiptune.
I swear I've heard of twilight force but for the life of me I can't remember what they sound like. I'll have to look them up and get reacquainted.
Some of their more prominent characteristics are high, soaring vocals, kinda constantly epic sounding, and pretty cheesy (which is a good thing)
I like them a lot
So a little bit Falconer, a little bit DragonForce?
Genres are for normies
I'd say I used to listen to metal, but nowadays, I still listen to metal lol. Huge fan of Progressive Metal/Djent/Thall bands. Not much into Deathcore/Doom Metal lately however.
At work tho, I tend to listen to a lot of instrumental stuff and genres vary greatly: mathrock, jazz, electronic, game/movie OSTs, blues, fusion, and among others.
During drives, mainly depends on the mood, but mostly revolves around the above given genres.
To name a few artists, I usually listen to the below (in random order):
Would love to share some more, but these are what I thought of at the moment.
Woah, I've actually been to a Chon show. Totally didn't expect to see that band pop up in this thread
Lucky! How were they upfront? I've only seen their live shows on YouTube.
They were great. I think it was around 2015-2016, and I still have a Chon pin from the show too!
I just learned about the circles people run in at metal shows.
Ever listen to the ocean?
Mostly sea shanties, Irish rebel songs, and Kesha.
That's a heady trio. Good lad

OT, but... How did we get to lemmites and not lemmings?
Here lately I mostly listen to the kind of music that your most insufferable hipster friend would try to recommend you.
The Mountain Goats
The Decemberists
Radical Face
Neutral Milk Hotel
The Shins
Pat the Bunny
Andrew Jackson Jihad
Mal Blum
Daisy the Great
Delicate Steve
Professor Caveman
The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets
Gonna use this post as a chance to give a shout out to Electric Callboy which I recently gave a chance to after they kept popping up in my recommendations, they're some sort of trance metalcore band, and boy do they have fun songs.
Post rock, synthwave, japanese jazz. I also love hard rock, but don't listen to it too often, because I can't listen to it while I'm working
This is a bit messy looking, but these are my top five fav āgenresā and my fav āartistsā from each (genres in quotes because half of these arenāt exactly genres. Artists in quotes because one is not the artist but a sound the real artists use).
Kawaii metal: Babymetal and Ladybaby
Anime music: guess Iāll say Aimer because thatās probably the one artist with the most anime songs in my playlist (shoutout to Nier games soundtracks because they donāt fit in any of my other fav āgenresā)
Vocaloids and utauloids: Flower is my fav vocaloid - love how she sounds, love her designs, and it helps that she was made for j-rock/metal
Vtubers/Hololive performers: Bae is bae
Rock/metal: Avenged Sevenfold and Metallica
Somehow I missed all the good 2000s emo music, but love it now.
I am listening the to The Wonder Years' full discography and man, they just don't miss for me.
Have you listened to Spitalfield? If not the album remember right now by them from 2002 is well worth a listen.
I'll check it out. Thanks!
"Those Days You Felt Alive" was a good song.
On my peak-emo list:
The Rocking Horse Winner - State of Feeling Concentration (still so, so good, really)
Dashboard Confessional - The Swiss Army Romance
Further Seems Forever - The Moon Is Down
listen to electric callboy
My first love is Hip Hop but I love lots of genres Funk, Soul, Jazz, Electronic, House, Techno, Dreampop, Ambient, Balearic, Indie/Alternative - Iām probably missing something š. Iāve even setup some communities here on Lemmy for my music genres that I love.
Some of my favourite artists:
EDIT: Adding City Pop genre as well since I saw another user comment that
2nd EDIT: Oh and Reggae, Dub too!
3rd EDIT: Okay I keep adding artists thinking I canāt believe I left such and such off haha Iāll stop now!
I am mostly listening to melodic death metal.
But since I discovered Lorna Shore, I enjoy more extreme genres as well, and I am getting my feet wet with deathcore.
I like the idea of melodic death metal, got any suggestions?
Very good question!
I have a list of the metal I like, here is a link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RDxj-OVYBeCz5UHfhQDFgvh1Oe4FmKNgkHlYeTzqTK8/edit#gid=0
From there, my pick would be:
Try this
https://open.spotify.com/track/1z6MioTKg2mfk7WVlYO7Fh?si=lJ_3TLPcQBG0Il6dR4jQhA
Lines by Long Distance Calling. The chorus is the best.
This is a cool song but it has nothing to do with melodic death metal. That would be bands like (old) In Flames, At the Gates, Amon Amarth or Dark Tranquillity.
Okay. My apologies.
Would this work?
https://open.spotify.com/track/5t8NXa2fugcTPsTfhVILmS?si=i-iIHFpNThKveROYmNwfXQ
Pisces by Jinger
Maybe wait 1:15 in.
First off, I'm not the arbiter of what does and doesn't belong to a certain genre. That's, to a certain extent, subjective and people don't always agree. However, there usually is at least some consensus in the community, otherwise the genre names would be useless.
That said, I personally wouldn't call this melodic death metal either. Most of the song is just clean singing and clean guitars, both of which are sometimes used in melodeath, but they're not a defining aspect of it. And even the parts with harsh vocals and distorted guitars are missing the riffs that are typical for the genre. It's closer to a progressive death metal or groove metal sound similar to Gojira or Opeth.
Overall Jinjer are also definitely not a melodeath band, they're metalcore, which is often seen as a subgenre of hardcore, not metal, although there are bands that are more on the metal side.
As I said, I'm not the genre police, this is just my opinion. But I think (sub)genre definitions are useful when talking about music and if we start using them too loosely, they lose their meaning and as a result, their utility.
Hey thanks for that. I think melodic death metal is starting to become clear to me.
I can't speak for anyone else, but my favorite couple of genres over the past half year or so has definitely been 90s pop music and vocalsynth (vocaloid and other similar products).
I only really started getting into 90s pop because I found a playlist of songs for it on yt and decided to save it because I liked what I heard.
Lots of classic rock. Billy Joel, led zeppelin, etc.
But lately I've been on a classical music kick.
I was recently revisiting some Billy Joel. He really was a great folk storyteller.
Like, Allentown tells a history so succinctly but authentically. It really is a skill he honed.
He's incredibly good at turning experiences into words. Allentown is still relevant today, the way he wrote it it just describes so many peoples American experience.
But he did that a lot. Where I think he's best with it is more emotional songs, he really captures whatever emotion he's getting into words well. Like, Captain Jack does a good job of telling the story of someone in small town America, but I always heard it as a song about depression. All this stuff is happening around you and you're just kinda there for it, not really feeling much of anything.
Or how he captures that nervous feeling about meeting a girl for the first time in Get it Right the First Time. He is so good at getting emotion into music.
I recently started listening to classical and boy does it require a completely different listening approach! I'm listening almost exclusively to Mahler's No.5 since my attention fades away after the first movement and I need lots of listening to know what's actually going on
Mahlers 5th is good, but I think his 4th is better.
But my personal favorite is Beethoven's 5th. I used to HATE that symphony when I was a kid, my grandmother loved it and it bored me to tears.
Turns out the version she had on CD that she always listened to was the worst recording you can find of it. It was WAY too slow, it made the whole thing drag on. That symphony works best when it's damn near rushing. When I got back into classical a few months back I found the Berliner Philharmoniker playing it directed by Simon Rattle, and the sprint through that symphony, and it works SO MUCH BETTER. It was very clearly intended to be played fast, so many of the parts feel way more interesting and there's sections where each part of the orchestra feels like it's tripping over the others to be heard.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Since you look much more knowledgeable than me, could you help me understand how to navigate the overwhelming amount of different versions for every piece of music? For now I'm completely ignoring who's playing and conducting and sometimes I timidly try to listen to another version, usually just to come back to the comfort of the first version I listened
Usually I try to listen to a few different versions until I land on one that really clicks with me. It takes a little bit to really understand what that means. To me the orchestra is less important than the director. The music is always the same, but the director decides which parts will pop out the most, how fast the tempo is, and how he wants the orchestra to play parts.
I'll use the beethoven example again.
Here is the version that I don't like. That was the "familiar" version I knew, and I didn't like it so I never listened to this piece.
When I got into my current classical kick, I went to Spotify and stumbled on this version: https://open.spotify.com/track/4mw5oRBKNBfNV0dXAOIcne
I literally picked it because I thought the album cover was interesting because it had some color. A lot of classical albums are committed to black and white for some reason.
Googling a piece can help, especially if you search for like "beethoven 5th best recordings." You'll find a lot of opinions out there, and it can help you get a starting point for a given piece to go from.
If you find yourself wanting to go to a more "comfortable" version, it means something in the recording you're listening to isn't clicking with you. That's OK! Try to identify what it is that makes you not like that recording, and what the one you prefer does differently that makes you prefer it. It helps to write it down; if you make posts here or on Mastodon that may help a lot with articulating what you do or don't like (and boost engagement).
Seemingly "simple" things like "i think this section is too fast" or "the version I like has the horn section louder here, but this version focussed on the windpipes" really influence how you hear the music and make a big difference, and are completely valid reasons to prefer one recording over another.

If you donāt already know, Billy Joel has a deep love for classical music, and in interviews talks about how it influenced his pop/rock songs
Retrowave // synthwave
I'm all over the place. Some of my favorites include Flogging Molly, The White Stripes, and MC Frontalot. Lately I've been getting into the stoner metal band Gnome.
a few recommendations:
Djent/Core:
Prog:
I think I'm the only one here who likes mainstream J-pop.
Anybody for Aimer, ReoNa, LiSa, Yorushika, Minami, TK from Ling Tosite Sigure, nZk, Uru, Tielle, Yuuri?
No? I suppose I'm alone in my listening habits. I do like baroque music though
Iād like to be. Got any recommendations?
The artists I mentioned in my comment are whom I have listened to recently
Some absolutely belting suggestions in this thread nice work guys!
tool
I listen to Rock, Punk Rock, Pop Punk, Ska, EDM, and K-Pop.
Some of my favorite bands are Thrice, Streetlight Manifesto, Alkaline Trio, Band-Maid, Dreamcatcher. I dunno man, I just like music.
YESSSS. FINALLY someone else on here who loves Streetlight! Tomas and the rest of the band are pure musical geniuses.
Have you listened to Tomas' acoustic Streetlight albums The Hand That Thieves and Streetlight Lullabies? They're amazing.
Yes! I absolutely love the Toh Kay albums. I've listened to his entire discography, including Smiles for Macavity and the demos. I haven't heard a single thing that I dislike from him!
speedcore, artcore, jcore, vocaloid
Is vocalcore a thing? I bet you'd love it.
My musical tastes vary from rock and itās many subgenres and off shoots to dozens of genres of EDM (mainly Progressive House, Trance, Techno, Psytrance, Dubstep, and Drum & Bass). I have a Spotify library exceeding 12k tracks.
Some of my favorite acts in no particular order include The Offspring, Rise Against, Pearl Jam, Ghost, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Breaking Benjamin, Billy Talent, Linkin Park, Paramore, Deadmau5, Feed Me, Kill The Noise, Liquid Stranger, Dance With The Dead, Ghostland Observatory, Rezz, Eric Prydz, Infected Mushroom, Heatbeat, Death On The Balcony, Hernan Cattaneo, and Lee Burridge just to name a few.
rock/metal and most derivatives. for example metallica, ac/dc, iris and others.
almost exclusively electronic music, just can't seem to get enough of it. (ambient, downtempo, drum & bass, dub, electro, glitch, goa trance, house, idm, psybass, psychill, psytrance, synthwave, techno). I'd be happy to try to give recommendations of any of these if you ask.
also love funk like Parliament/Funkadelic and some electronic focused jambands like STS9 & Lotus
What are some of your ambient recommendations? I was just listening to Tim Hecker's Konoyo, also dig stuff like Global Communication, Boards of Canada, Grouper, Human Mesh Dance, Stars of the Lid, Biosphere.
Really into a electronic psychedelic cumbia genre that goes by Psicodelica SelvĆ”tica (and other names) : Dengue Dengue Dengue!, Chancha Via Circuito, Yeahman, Son Rompe Pera, El RemolĆ³n's Selva really hits the spot too.
I prefer my ambient to have a psychedelic aspect to it instead of just pure drone, so probably my favorite ambient artist is Ishq, namely his albums Orchid, Sama, And Awake, Bloom, and Lotus. Sinepearl and Chandanam are also artists that have a similar sound to Ishq. also check out Woob's Repurpose album
getting into more of the psybient/psychill genre than pure ambient, mostly everything on Ultimae Records is gold imo (Solar Fields, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Cell, H.U.V.A. Network, Sync24, etc.)
Spacebass over on my end : G Jones, EPROM, Alix Perez, Ivy Lab, Of The Trees, Chee, Tsuruda, ISOxo, Culprate, Lab Group
This song has been on solid repeat for me lately GATZB - Get Down
Deep House. It's basically distraction free version of House.
anything you recommend? looking for more artists like those on Naked Music Recordings (Blue Six, Miguel Migs, Lisa Shaw, Aya, etc.)
Sorry this might disappoint you but I usually just listen on The Good Life Radio https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=36YnV9STBqc

Iāve kinda got all my eggs in different baskets but mostly I listen to pop punk, alternative, and some classic rock
Mostly it's different subgenres of rock and metal (like 70% of all comments here. Seriously, I've never met so many ppl that listen to my favorite music in one place xD).
I kinda have a few moods. For the "fun and energetic" mood I have hard rock and heavy metal, for the "my job is f*cking me and I don't like it" I have nu metal and some other things that sound angry, for the "fancy" I have a strange mix of P!atD, Franz Ferdinand, some songs that are creepy/sad but sound happy ("I can't decide", "Don't fear the Reaper", "To The Sea") and steampunk/dark cabaret/murder song bands (Voltaire, Coppelius, the Cog is Dead, American Murder Song)
Mainly early 2000s "Whose Line is it Anyway?" hoedowns. My favorite is the one where they make fun of Colin's baldness.
Cold wave, no wave, post rock, uplifting trance, mutant disco, freak folk
Happy Hardcore, Psytrance, Progressive Techno :)
Classical
Metal, the anime of music. Currently in a stoner and sludge phase.
IDM and Jazz
I oscillate between 3 moods. For the longest time I exclusively listened to metal and rock, System of a Down being my all time favorite. Also Primus, Korn, Rammstein, Suicidal Tendencies, ICP, and La Dispute (not exactly metal/rock but fits in with all my angry music that keeps me happy lol).
My other mood, when Iām struggling with my mental health, is Pink Floyd. All the Pink Floyd, all day long, listen to the same album on repeat for 3 weeks straight Pink Floyd. My current favorite album is The Final Cut. It haunts me in an amazing way.
Recently Iāve been on an alt/electro pop kick. Ashnikko is my favorite and I can't wait to see her on tour later this year. Also Kim Petras, Medusa, Poppy (kinda scratches that metal itch too), Royal & the Serpent, YONAKA, SUUNS, and IC3PEAK (ALSO kinda scratches the metal itch).
Well, Fuckmyfuckingass, if you must know. Punk, folk, and folk punk with some rock and classical mixed in there too
Progressive and djent metal
Iām a big rock/punk rock guy so Iād totally recommend Green Day, Foo Fighters, Blink 182 and Sun 41
Ever heard of Brutus? Give it a listen; I'm curious your thoughts from a rock/punk perspective. I've never been into punk, but Brutus has punkish sounds (to me) and I really dig her voice.
War by Brutus
All Along by Brutus
The Beta Band, Vulfpeck, Khruangbin, Holy Hive, Tame Impala, Hippo Campus, STRFKR, Greta Van Fleet
I'm a real big fan of grunge. All my discovery feeds are based off nothing but 90's grunge.
I'm really into mid 2000s pop-punk. Obviously the big ones like blink-182 and Green Day, but also a bunch of the smaller ones like The Starting Line, Rufio, New Found Glory, etc. Those were the bands I listened to when I was learning to play guitar. I learned so many of their songs because they were easy AF (except Rufio). And I guess those songs really stuck with me.
Most flavours of metal, hard rock, punk, some blues stuff like SRV and Gary Moore. Basically, if it has loud guitars in it, I'm there.
Gridlink just dropped a new track and I was reminded of what a banger Longhena was
https://gridlink.bandcamp.com/album/coronet-juniper
C418
Legitimately almost every genre, as long as I'm the mood. Lately tho I've mostly been listening to The Fall of Troy, Blink-182, Dance Gavin Dance, This Town Needs Guns, and good ole Pro Era artists like Capital Steez and Joey Bada$$.
Metal, breakcore, and whatever genre kobaryo is
I mostly listen to varieties of British music (shoutout !britishmusic@lemmy.world)
I love R&B. I've been exploring British country music lately (surprisingly is a lot of it).
Massive fan of grime music (!grime@lemmy.world) (similarish to hip hop but with electronic beats) and its predecessor, UK garage (summery dance music vibes). UK rap in general is a big thing for me. I listen to drill music on occasion but not super often (modern gangster rap basically, although there's a lot of commercial drill nowadays). Been really into jersey club music lately - I think the beats are really cool.
I have some fondness for dancehall (!dancehall@lemmy.world) and afrobeats music as well.
Other than that, I enjoy (but don't listen to actively) baile funk, some varieties of house music, deep/original dubstep music (not the screechy dubstep most people think of), reggae, lofi-hiphop, the underground NY hip hop scene
British country music? Is this what cultural appropriation feels like? I don't like it.
Yeah it's weird I know but I've wrapped around to liking it lol

Mostly rock. Specifically love 80s hair metal and hard rock, and prog rock/metal. Lately I've had Sleep Token albums on constant rotation.
I love most electronic music with my favourite subgenre being electro. Although dubstep and a trance are also up there rn
got any electro recommendations? I love MetaComplex, Morphology, Microlith, Plant43, E.R.P., Shinra, Reedale Rise, etc.
Glad to see an EDM fan on here
But I'm going to do a shitty job recommending music, since you listed the artists who do like dnb electro... Which is an area that I'm almost totally clueless. But to take a shot in the dark, UNMD. It's frenchcore techno so it's a bit different. Maybe look at psy techno since it has the same kind of beat whilst keeping some the melodic parts of electro.
Sorry that was awful. But alot of the artists I listen to have really fat melodies which is like the exact opposite of what your looking for. Although I do like some of the artists you listed, so I'm gonna mix those into my playlists. So thanks I guess
Edit: I looked through your post history, defo look into psy techno.
Punk rock.

I almost exclusively listen to video game music. I've been listening to a lot of music from Pokemon Black and White lately.
The band Sleep Token has been a majority of my played music for over a month now, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I mostly listen to stuff like Metalcore, Deathcore, Djent, Nu Metal, Prog, Instrumental, I love metal covers of pop songs. Also like hard dance, dubstep, DnB, some pop, some rap, most anything as long as it isn't tasteless.
Sleep Token. Discovered it recently too. Man that guy can SING! Love it. Chokehold is great.
I listen to a bit of everything. Bands in my recent rotation include Low, 3rd Secret, Motƶrhead, Rick James, L7 and Joji, Aimee Mann, Mdou Moctar, Aphex Twin, Beastie Boys. Donny Benet
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizardās PetroDragon Apocalypse is my favorite album all year.
My favorite all time genre is industrial. So stuff like The Young Gods, Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, KMFDM, Ministry, Filter, Mulitple Man, Meat Beat Manifesto, Pig, Emptyset, Youth Code, Atari Teenage Riot / Alec Empire, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Downloadā¦
I fell in love with Low the first time I heard "Venus."
I heard āCongregationā in the show Devs (loved it), and was surprised I never listened to them before. Went back and listened to the whole catalogā¦ several times over. Itās the best airplane music.
I really like J-Core right now. But I sometimes just tune in to the Dance genre. I'm a bit of an allrounder, because I hear lots of electronical music, as stated above: J-Core, Dance, Techno, House, Hard style, French Core and Psytrance. Just to name a few.
I had my phase, where I mostly listened to a guy named Otira. Now I listen a lot to someone called t+pazolite. My current favorite Track is called "Hyper 4id"
Last four concerts were Erykah Badu, Blood Red Shoes, Marcy Playground and Tears for Fears. They were all amazing and you can't really go wrong with any album from any of them.
Right now: Steely Danās album āAjaā
I'm slightly biased towards progressive rock (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin), vanera (Baitaca, Os Serranos), neofolk and folk metal (Faun, Korpiklaani... does Kayah's album with BregoviÄ count?), some punk and grunge (The Offspring is still one of my favs). But it's a bit too messy to generalise.
two of my very favorite genres are future garage and atmospheric black metal, but i'm a melomaniac and listen to a ton of genres
I like Funk and Soul and Techno and Rock and Classic Hip Hop and the best from the 60s to the 80s. I guess i just love good Music
Right now I'm really into indie/alternative with some funk and rock in there. My favorite band of all time is Her's.
Inner Wave, Jack Stauber, Pink Floyd, Binki, Bakar.
All amazing artists and all of Her's songs are amazing
Heavy Metal. Most things with screaming/growling that has actual lyrics are gold to me. Ice Nine Kills manages to blend that with my love of the horror genre, and discovering them felt like finding a new home.
Drake, 90s rap, classic rock and Tame Impala.
Mostly extreme metal, moreso since going back to college, but I also like post-rock, shoegaze, and classical amongst other things. Try this out for size.
Death metal, experimental metal, vaporwave/mallsoft, witch house, and experimental punk.
I've been listening to a lot of Cavalera Conspiracy and Voivod lately. Polysics are pretty fun, too. Luxury Elite is a reliable vaporwave choice.

...Is Taylor Swift a genre?
But seriously, my music taste is pretty much her. Otherwise I like alt rock, rock (not too heavy though), ballads, pop that has good lyrics and a decent hook, and any song I hear that has guitars I like 25% more than those that don't.
Mostly Irish folk (with a healthy infusion of Irish rebel music mixed in)
Iām into everything tbh.
Lately Iāve been getting into the following:
Teenage Fanclub (song is The Concept)
The Lemon Twigs (song is In My Head)
Tainy (song is FANTASMA | AVC)
Duster (song is Constellations)
Alex G (song is Mary)
I guess thatās mostly alt-rock, slacker rock type stuff. Except Tainyā¦ But damn DATA is fucking good man.

Good bot.
I'll listen to almost anything at least once. The only genre I actively avoid is current country. If I had to pick in genre, it would be early 2000's emo.
The most recent album I listened to all the way through was Wellerman - The Album by Nathan Evans. Put on Wellerman, the song, for my son. Ended up liking the whole album.
My most listened albums are probably a toss-up between Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge (My Chemical Romance), College Dropout (Kanye), Deloused in the Comatorium (The Mars Volta), or Toxicity (System of a Down).
Amd according to my "Your Spotify" instance, my most listened artist of the last year was Alt-J.
I tend to hyperfixate though, so I'll listen to the same album/genre for weeks/months, then not listen to it at all for months while I listen to something else.
Also, for anyone that selfhosts and uses Spotify, Your Spotify is nice to have for threads like this.
I'm all over the place. Willie Nelson, Rodrigo y Gabriella, OutKast, The Cure, Beck, Blackalicious, B-52s, Talking Heads, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, James Brown, The Clash, Ray Charles, Jonny Cash, The Who, ELO, The Beatles, The Guess Who.
Basically I start with listening to different genres of music, and add them into a big playlist and keep looking for new music to add to the playlist. I love finding collaborations that bands have done and spinoff bands.
I personally like chiptunes and 80s rock
Folk drum and bass (e.g. monster ceilidh band)
I'm pretty big on americana lately. Lots of good bands to discover. I'm also getting back into ska.
Only happy hardcore
i listen to everything, but my favorite artists are That Handsome Devil, Frank Zappa, Death Grips, blink-182, Bjƶrk, Tom Waits, Prince
my favorite album right now is Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Kobaryo Speedcore
it changes all the time but right now-
ginger root coco & clair clair mag.lo jonwayne sales
Midwest emo... Camping in Alaska, caving, cap'n jazz, American football etc. Highly recommend caving if you're into that sort of stuff, hands down the most underrated artist I've ever seen.

Everything except jazz (because I can't find the rhythm, which is the point I guess).
I Hear you. I hate jazz. All jazz. It's just revolting to me. I'm such a wierdo.
Depends on the jazz - plenty rhythm in some jazz, check out Lee Morgan's Sidewinder for instance :-)

Highly recommend the Piano Guys. They mix classical music with modern hits.
Ambient, electronica, Post punk, emo and goth stuff, synthwave, sludge / stoner metal, industrial, and folk music.
My favorites over the years were
I don't know why, but I also gravitate to girl guitar bands. Especially if they sing in harmony. Instant goosebumps!
Synthpop, new wave, dark wave, cold wave, minimal wave, post-punk, goth rock....
...but like synthpop more than anything else. I gotta have those hooks. <3
