Video Game Music ๐ฎ๐ต
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
Ori and the blind forest, a hat in time, deltarune. It's amazing how good videogame soundtrack can get!
Touhou music is a piece of gold
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 ๐
The Stardew Valley music is where itโs at
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.
Hey, you may like us over at !popheads@poptalk.scrubbles.tech
That community looks like it has literally nothing to do with emo or pop-punk
Progressive metal
Playlist generated, thanks.
Dang I only really recognize Sleep Token, Soen, and Persefone from this list. All S-tier bands, Iโll have to check out the rest.
Plenty or great bands there!
+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 Iโve heard in some time, from any band, in any genre.
I canโt stop listening to it. To add, Iโm not really a fan of any of their other records. Theyโre clearly good, just doesnโt resonate with me as much as this one does.
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!
Genres are for normies
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 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 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
I like Japanese City Pop.
Thereโs a City Pop community here on Lemmy you can join!
Mostly sea shanties, Irish rebel songs, and Kesha.
That's a heady trio. Good lad
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
I just learned about the circles people run in at metal shows.
Ever listen to the ocean?

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
OT, but... How did we get to lemmites and not lemmings?
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.
This is a bit messy looking, but these are my top five fav โgenresโ and my fav โartistsโ from each (genres in quotes because half of these arenโt 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 Iโll say Aimer because thatโs probably the one artist with the most anime songs in my playlist (shoutout to Nier games soundtracks because they donโt fit in any of my other fav โgenresโ)
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
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
Retrowave // synthwave
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.
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?
Try this
https://open.spotify.com/track/1z6MioTKg2mfk7WVlYO7Fh?si=lJ_3TLPcQBG0Il6dR4jQhA
Lines by Long Distance Calling. The chorus is the best.
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:
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.
If you donโt already know, Billy Joel has a deep love for classical music, and in interviews talks about how it influenced his pop/rock songs
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.
My first love is Hip Hop but I love lots of genres Funk, Soul, Jazz, Electronic, House, Techno, Dreampop, Ambient, Balearic, Indie/Alternative - Iโm probably missing something ๐. Iโve 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 canโt believe I left such and such off haha Iโll stop now!
listen to electric callboy
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.
speedcore, artcore, jcore, vocaloid
Is vocalcore a thing? I bet you'd love it.
a few recommendations:
Djent/Core:
Prog:
tool
Some absolutely belting suggestions in this thread nice work guys!
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
Iโd like to be. Got any recommendations?
The artists I mentioned in my comment are whom I have listened to recently
Iโve kinda got all my eggs in different baskets but mostly I listen to pop punk, alternative, and some classic rock
My musical tastes vary from rock and itโs 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.
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 Selvรกtica (and other names) : Dengue Dengue Dengue!, Chancha Via Circuito, Yeahman, Son Rompe Pera, El Remolรณn'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
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)

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
Mainly early 2000s "Whose Line is it Anyway?" hoedowns. My favorite is the one where they make fun of Colin's baldness.
IDM and Jazz
Well, Fuckmyfuckingass, if you must know. Punk, folk, and folk punk with some rock and classical mixed in there too
Progressive and djent metal
Classical

Bet you can't tell how old I am. ๐ IYKYK...
Punk rock.
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 Iโm 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 Iโve 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).
Cold wave, no wave, post rock, uplifting trance, mutant disco, freak folk
Happy Hardcore, Psytrance, Progressive Techno :)
The Beta Band, Vulfpeck, Khruangbin, Holy Hive, Tame Impala, Hippo Campus, STRFKR, Greta Van Fleet
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

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$$.
C418
Gridlink just dropped a new track and I was reminded of what a banger Longhena was
Metal, breakcore, and whatever genre kobaryo is
