Don't forget the occasional anime OP/ED

Man I don't exactly love two out of four of those genres myself, but this thread has a few commenters that seem to want to pretend they're the adults in the room but in reality they're just a bunch of miserable cunts that either hate music or only want to listen to the same fucking popular shit over and over.

Like, popular music is fine to be clear but so is wanting to listen to weirder stuff.

This person drinks from a horn.

This comment made me look up at my drinking horn hanging on the wall among Ren faire weapons and shield...

Ok, this is what social media is for. Thanks everyone, so much good stuff in here. Glad I have similarly esoteric tastes..

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I assume you are familiar with Mongol throat singing, especially delivered in the form of techno)? I also like guys who put traffic cones in their bass saxophone. Death metal with a Banjo anyone? This intrigues me, though I don't speak french.

A great Celtic banger I've recently discovered. Also this one by Rose betts is great!

Seems like people in this thread might appreciate both those.

What the fuck are you talking about and who the fuck are you talking to

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

The same thing happens when I put my King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard discography on shuffle. Gotta at least sort by album or it's chaos.

I think this is what some of my neighbours look like each day when I play something different. One day, Algerian jazz from the 70s. Next day, modern German disco. Next day, psychedelic folk from Brittany (the French peninsula). Next day, synth-wave. Next day, energetic 80s Japanese fusion. Next day, Swedish Lounge Jazz. etc.

Combine all 4: dungeon synth

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

I want an artist that combines all four of that into an album, even if by techno it might mean "just some form of electronic music, and not necessarily techno".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Go to a science fiction convention. Seriously. There's some wild live music. I wouldn't be surprised if you heard it there.

I used to go to several in the Northeast US, like Arisia, Lunacon, Philcon, Boscone. Of course yor best bet would be WorldCon.

Upgrade your friends. But don’t abandon the soundtrack of your life. It's a vital piece of the narrative. 🎧

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

FR tho, if you get the aux you need to get the vibe. If anybody but you is enjoying the noise you put through them ears then you kinda failed the job.

(also, I'm not saying I don't like techno, sea shanties, gregorian chants and whatnot...)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

If you dont mind French language songs:

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I do, adding also Free Jazz and Stockhausen with countriy music in between.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (8 children)

my favourite "genre" of music is happyish songs about death

examples:

We're All Gonna Die

Memento Mori

When I Die

and also all the songs that give me specifically the same vibe. my friends are often confused

edit: thank you all for the recommendations <3 a lot new songs on my favourite playlist!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't like music in major-key but make an exception for Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival, who specifically talked about how he made the juxtaposition between upbeat music and lyrics about the apocalypse and doom a deliberate choice and made one of the all-time classic songs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I can't click those right now, but very much look forward to them. Have one of my favorites:

Any chance op can share tjis playlist ?

I just made this comment for someone else in here. Check out some of that stuff if you're interested

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

So, like... Sleep Token?

No joke though, this is incredible: https://youtu.be/JJpFTUP6fIo

In my day to day playlist I have mostly brutal metal and jazz, with some '90s British trip-hop, Romanian traditional music & hip hop fusion, a bit of manouche, 2000s alternative and '90s grunge here and there...

That's when I work or work out.

The Diablo or Witcher OSTs are for when I read or do my taxes.

Normal activities: normal music

I fucking love sea shanties. It's ironic because I'm terrified of water.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 weeks ago

Sea shanties just hit different, especially when sung by native speakers.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I just put my whole collection on shuffle and have come to appreciate the simplicity of that.

I use this web music player at home, which only supports shuffle and because it's a web thing, I can't either use keyboard shortcuts to skip songs (without switching to that window).
And I actually like that I can't distract myself with selecting just the right music. Because if I don't distract myself and just get into coding or whatever, I'll quickly stop noticing what precise music is playing.

I dyslexia'd techno-sea shanties and now there's a genre I need in my life Edit if you can imagine it, someone has made it

Gregorian metal

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I was thinking БАТЮШКА would have the combination of death metal and Gregorian chant covered. Or maybe black metal and chant, I suppose. Close enough though, imo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

As I don't really listen to Sea-Shanties or Techno anymore, the only thing that popped into my brain was that Wellerman song that turned into a whole thing on TikTok a while ago. As that was close to unavoidable at the time.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

That's the worst kind of "techno" though..

TAKE MY MONEY AND MY MUSIC!

Mind if I get a link to some of the stuff you listen to? Always down to try new things. Giggidy

So this guy's meme actually hits pretty close to my music tastes somehow lmao. I think it's got to be because I grew up with Linkin Park and halo. So that set my path into metal, electronic, and liking chants/shanties. My tastes have grown and changed but generally the meme is right lol.

Metal

Good intro metal bands of various subgenres (featuring catchy clean vocal parts frequently)

Electronic

Currently I listen to a lot of retro EDM. Synth wave specifically. It's like modern EDM writing a lover letter to the 80s we all see in stranger things. Which, unironically I love the intro to that show. Music like the Weeknds blinding lights fits under this umbrella of genres (https://youtu.be/4NRXx6U8ABQ).

Shout-out to Phonk as a genre too. It's great for studying or background for working

https://youtu.be/J4t4pMZBXZg

For sea shanties, the assassin's creed rogue and ac black flag soundtrack has great versions or real shanties.

Also look up the dreadnaughts

They are polka and shanties. It's awesome.

The longest John's are another sea shanty / folk song band that rules.

And the monk chants for me really is just the halo menu music lol. It's the best game music I've ever heard.

I would just click on this stuff and see if you like anything. There's so much more to these genres than what I'm posting.

Disclaimer: This is just a taste and I just picked some stuff quickly and randomly

Inb4 "sleep token isn't metal"
