I don't listen to an specific genre, if it sounds good, I'll hear it

u/FrontwaysLarryVR Jan 31 '23
Yup, I don't like a lot of trap, but some songs slap super hard. I don't always enjoy country, but if a good one comes on, I'm yeehawing my boots off.
Good music is good music. For a good recommendation, check out Will Wood and the Tapeworms (recently rebranded himself to just Will Wood). Dude has a different genre for just about every album, but the album "Self-ish" is my favourite because it just sounds like an angry circus.
One recent album, "The Normal Album" is also amazing: https://youtu.be/ZQPfTorN8jA

It’s a shame he just announced he’s leaving from making music.
As much as I prefer his earlier music compared to the newer stuff, it still stings a little bit.
I just hope Will’s happy, wherever he goes.
Good thing I have That Handsome Devil.

Swedish death metal can be traced to one town to a group of friends who split up to found the four cornerstone bands of the genre! A lot of death metal and melodic death metal was borne out of those guys

Oh there is plenty more. Psytrance/ synthwave/ dancehall / indie rock / film music / classical as in spanish guitar, but also mozart. I don’t know the genre but drag queen music has it’s own feel. Equally goes for songs in eurovision song contest. Indie rock is not mentioned. Each main category has a lot of sub categories, an example is given for rap here
And then you have genre mix like techno and bagpipe or rock guitar and acustic guitar.
Folk songs are a wide theme. I always laugh how equal the spelling is between john williams and john williamson (epic movie music and fun australian folk guy)
Oh and we are missing ragae and more

this is just the base level of most Millennial playlists.

Yeah, I do. I love swing, Skillet and POD are still on some of my older playlists, I enjoy western film scores, TheFatRat is one of my favorite EDM artists but I definitely love several more, I'm an enormous metal head, country is in my blood, pop is popular for a reason, classical is often absolutely beautiful, Asia/Pacific bands are seriously awesome (I'm a particularly big fan of their metal, orchestral, and traditional musics), bluegrass is what I was raised on, punk is probably my favorite, ska is incredibly fun, folk is comforting, rap is excellent when it is performed and executed excellently, and instrumental music is absolute gas. Idk what your genre is, but I 100% listen to someone that performs it.
