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.
I’m into everything tbh.
Lately I’ve 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)
I guess that’s mostly alt-rock, slacker rock type stuff. Except Tainy… But damn DATA is fucking good man.
Mostly Irish folk (with a healthy infusion of Irish rebel music mixed in)
Folk drum and bass (e.g. monster ceilidh band)
i listen to everything, but my favorite artists are That Handsome Devil, Frank Zappa, Death Grips, blink-182, Björk, Tom Waits, Prince
my favorite album right now is Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Right now: Steely Dan’s album „Aja“
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.
...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.
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
- Einstürzende 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!
it changes all the time but right now-

Everything except jazz (because I can't find the rhythm, which is the point I guess).
Depends on the jazz - plenty rhythm in some jazz, check out Lee Morgan's Sidewinder for instance :-)
I Hear you. I hate jazz. All jazz. It's just revolting to me. I'm such a wierdo.
Highly recommend the Piano Guys. They mix classical music with modern hits.
I personally like chiptunes and 80s rock
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
I'm pretty big on americana lately. Lots of good bands to discover. I'm also getting back into ska.
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.
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.
