When I was a pre-teen and teenager, pop-punk and emo were popular.
Turns out I haven’t outgrown this genre. I now listen to more music from a variety of different genres and time periods, but ultimately, 80% of my library is still early 2000’s pop punk.
Yeah I though I was gonna outgrow metal.
Boy was I wrong.

Dang I only really recognize Sleep Token, Soen, and Persefone from this list. All S-tier bands, I’ll 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. I was basically just saying that I consider them to be bands of the highest tier, I’ve 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 I’ve heard in some time, from any band, in any genre.
I can’t stop listening to it. To add, I’m not really a fan of any of their other records. They’re clearly good, just doesn’t resonate with me as much as this one does.
Moooottorr…
…Spiiiriiiit……
Genres are for normies
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:
Oh wow, excellent; thanks!
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 😔)
- 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.
I just learned about the circles people run in at metal shows.
Ever listen to the ocean?
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!
Mostly sea shanties, Irish rebel songs, and Kesha.
That’s a heady trio. Good lad

3rd EDIT: Okay I keep adding artists thinking I can’t believe I left such and such off haha I’ll stop now!
Retrowave // synthwave
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 Selvática (and other names) : Dengue Dengue Dengue!, Chancha Via Circuito, Yeahman, Son Rompe Pera, El Remolón’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
Lots of classic rock. Billy Joel, led zeppelin, etc.
But lately I’ve been on a classical music kick.
If you don’t already know, Billy Joel has a deep love for classical music, and in interviews talks about how it influenced his pop/rock songs
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
I’d like to be. Got any recommendations?
The artists I mentioned in my comment are whom I have listened to recently
IDM and Jazz
Classical
