I love most electronic music with my favourite subgenre being electro. Although dubstep and a trance are also up there rn

I’m a big rock/punk rock guy so I’d totally recommend Green Day, Foo Fighters, Blink 182 and Sun 41

Metal, breakcore, and whatever genre kobaryo is

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

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.

I mostly listen to varieties of British music (shoutout [email protected])

I love R&B. I've been exploring British country music lately (surprisingly is a lot of it).

Massive fan of grime music ([email protected]) (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 ([email protected]) 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

I'm a real big fan of grunge. All my discovery feeds are based off nothing but 90's grunge.

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

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$$.

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

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.

I almost exclusively listen to video game music. I've been listening to a lot of music from Pokemon Black and White lately.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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 Bregović count?), some punk and grunge (The Offspring is still one of my favs). But it's a bit too messy to generalise.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Vulcan has diverse range of favourite music...

But for now, mostly Dub Techno, Visual Kei, Symphonic Metal, Black Metal, and Classical.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Drake, 90s rap, classic rock and Tame Impala.
