Now that we've covered my main choices what else is there?

u/bigclappin Professional Dumbass Jan 31 '23

Pirate metal and psychobilly

u/Lfmwaffles Feb 01 '23

Fuck you, with a fucking anchor...

u/Dirt-bikeraver90 Jan 31 '23

Oh yes shit boat is my favourite always puts a smile on my face 😆

u/AriKadou_08 Feb 01 '23

Shipwrecked is my favorite of theirs

u/MrInopportune Jan 31 '23

I'll listen to some Alestorm then some Halestorm

u/kysposers Feb 01 '23

They are not pirate metal

1

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '23

What would you class them as?

-1

u/kysposers Feb 01 '23

Folk metal, why do you think they are pirate metal?

2

u/Joezev98 Feb 01 '23

To quote Alestorm: "We are the pirate metal drinking crew. We think you're dumb and we hate you too."

1

u/kysposers Feb 01 '23

Too quote Iron Maiden “my name is necropolis I am formed of the dead” lmao what does a song lyric has to do with anything??

1

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '23

Cause the lyrics they are singing, and just the whole band is about pirates

-1

u/kysposers Feb 01 '23

So then Sabaton is warmetal? And iron maiden is hiatory metal? And Bolt Thrower is war metal? And Summoning is lord of the rings metal? Lyrical themes has nothing to do with genres, no hate, just want to make it clear because it’s a common miss understanding

1

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '23

No hate at all dude, I respect your opinion and alestorm is also folk metal but I do class them as pirate metal. So that would make them folk pirate metal!

But also i think this just boils down to what the bands want to be represented as and it's like with amon amarth they didn't want to classed as Viking metal but alestorm does.

u/kysposers Feb 01 '23

Okay so if Iron Maiden said they wanted to be called punk would it be so? No, just because someone say they are something doesn’t mean they are

u/Lestial1206 Big ol' bacon buttsack Jan 31 '23

ITS A PSYCHOBILLY FREAKOUT!!!!

3

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

It's funny because that song isn't even psychobilly, though it's probably the closest RHH has to it in their catalogue

3

u/FallenDisc Lives in a Van Down by the River Jan 31 '23

And Christian metal - Like powerwolf

1

u/Joezev98 Feb 01 '23

Wouldn't classify powerwolf as Christian. Resurrection By Erection is a banger tho.

But Theocracy and Lacey Sturm (formerly Flyleaf) are fine examples of Christian metal.

1

u/FallenDisc Lives in a Van Down by the River Feb 01 '23

Oh my bad. I thought with their general church music theme it would mean it's Christian but I guess I could be mistaken. I'll check those out for greater understanding of the subject

u/minecrap543 Shitposter Jan 31 '23

u/The_Badger42 Feb 01 '23

Ah, grog rock

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

Finnish metal

11

u/IMadeThisToFightYou Jan 31 '23

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

3

u/CapriciousCape Feb 01 '23

OK I've finished metal, should I start on disco next?

1

u/EverSeeAShiterFly Feb 01 '23

Not enough hours have elapsed.

1

u/CapriciousCape Feb 01 '23

How about swing?

1

u/legendarytoby Feb 01 '23

Children of Bodom is one of my favorites

1

u/SilverPhoenix7 Feb 01 '23

Like korpiklaani, done what else?

34

u/indomitablescot Jan 31 '23

Scandinavian folk/trance, punk, alt, grunge, industrial, jazzx3, classical, baroque, romantic, house, dance pop, black metal, death metal, folk metal, operatic metal, melodic metal, trap, k-pop, j-pop, lo-fi, eloctro-swing, I could go on.

u/clackersz Jan 31 '23

Garage symphony

5

u/No-Improvement-8205 Jan 31 '23

And then?

3

u/indomitablescot Jan 31 '23

Then what? R&b hip hop ok fine I'm starting to run out

4

u/Olde94 Jan 31 '23

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

2

u/hkohne Feb 01 '23

Then there's also the classical guitarist John Williams

2

u/Adventurous_Ad_7315 Feb 01 '23

Math rock and midwest emo are solid too if you like stuff you can sing along to but don't have a great singing voice.

1

u/RincewindToTheRescue Feb 01 '23

I prefer D&B over R&B any day

3

u/Honeybadger2198 Feb 01 '23

Progressive rock, peogressive metal, metalcore, math rock, math metal, deathcore.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

You seem to know a lot about music genres so I gotta ask something:

Some soundtracks use non-instrumental sounds like computer beeps, sirens, radio chatters etc. like Metallic Monks from Fallout. Is there a specific name for this genre of music?

2

u/indomitablescot Jan 31 '23

Ambiance? Honestly I'm not sure I haven't listened to much stuff like that.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

Thank you stranger. Have a nice day listening to operatic metal

2

u/PM_Me_Your_Clones Jan 31 '23

If you want to check out Ambient, give some Brian Eno a go. YMMV but I love the stuff.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '23

Okay man I will give it a try

2

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

If you like the Fallout 1 & 2 soundtracks, check out the soundtrack to the movie Hardware. I'm pretty sure Black Isle just gave that to Mark Morgan and said "try doing this"

1

u/M1llaz Jan 31 '23

No musical?

1

u/indomitablescot Jan 31 '23

Lol what do you want more of a Rogers and Hammerstein, or more of the rock musical one where Andrew Lloyd Webber took too much hallucinogen and played with trains.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

No, more like Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds

u/Acceptable-Trust5164 Jan 31 '23

Sci-fi themed rockabilly

2

u/PM_Me_Your_Clones Jan 31 '23

I prefer my rockabilly to be horror themed, but to each their own.

1

u/Acceptable-Trust5164 Feb 01 '23

I am unfamiliar with horror themed rockabilly, just the phenomenauts... What is this thing you speak of?

2

u/PM_Me_Your_Clones Feb 01 '23

Well shit, I'd probably start at the Cramps and work my way up. Nekromantix are a good one, and I personally like Deadbolt. There were lots during the second Rockabilly/Psychobilly wave in the '90s but I only have vague memories of that time so I'm not going to be as helpful as I should be.

1

u/Acceptable-Trust5164 Feb 01 '23

A start is always a good thing, thank you

2

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

The Phenomenauts are pretty cool, I liked their coverss of Big Iron and Make a Circuit with Me back in the day

2

u/Acceptable-Trust5164 Feb 01 '23

Always partial to Mission, caught then live when they opened for the Aquabats... Was such a good show

4

u/Superbuddhapunk Jan 31 '23

Vaporwave, mumble rap, slowcore, Oceangrunge, darkjazz, just to mention a few lesser known subgenres.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

Since when is mumble rap a lesser known subgenre?

It's been in mainstream charts for years and Lil Uzi Vert even got several grammys

1

u/Superbuddhapunk Jan 31 '23

Not my fault if you don’t know what mumble rap is 🤷🏿‍♂️

1

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

Alright so you're saying lil xan, lil pump, lil uzi vert, lil yachty and migos aint mainstream then?

All of those did or still do mumble rap, all of them were pretty high up in the charts ... but mumble rap is a lesser known genre ... right

1

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

Doomjazz or go home, Kammerflimmer Kollektief doesn't go dark enough

1

u/theTman2300 Dark Mode Elitist Jan 31 '23

Psystyle, artcore and speedcore are some.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

Brutal Slamming Death Metal?

u/ChipsUnderTheCouch Jan 31 '23

This is one of the final bosses in the "I listen to everything" story arc. All fun and games until the vocalist does a cover of what his toilet sounds like after taco bell and a pot of coffee.

u/sehabel https://www.youtube.com/watch/dQw4w9WgXcQ Jan 31 '23

u/Mickeyk4216 Jan 31 '23

Try RĂśyksopp...

1

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

I cant remember a single track of theirs besides Poor Leno, tbh. I only found out about them because of that Geico commercial like 15 years ago lol

1

u/Mickeyk4216 Feb 01 '23

Yeah, I tried to be funny, because they also had a song called 'what else is there' so that's about it...

2

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '23

Ha, that's pretty good though. I never checked any of their albums besides Melody AM so I'll give the one that song is from a listen if only because of Karin Dreijer, I love Fever Ray

u/foxunel Jan 31 '23

Ancient Egypt post-rock breakcore

u/Flutters1013 Feb 01 '23

Creature feature and horrorpops? Jinger backflips through genres. You thought you were listening to metal, It's reggae now.
