Can somebody please make a bot that scrapes a comment thread and produces a Spotify Playlist with all song suggestions? Would be amazing for this thread!
I would love this. Unfortunately I’m too lazy and incompetent to pull it off.
Metal and sea shanties with Alestorm
Also Stormseeker
Sea shanties just hit different, especially when sung by native speakers.
Try out Mongolian Metal. They combine metal and throat singing.
The who? The Hu! Who? The HU!
When CD burners first became affordable, I made mixes.
150 songs. I had a disk that started with pop, moved to metal, back to easy listening and ended with classical.
What does everyone do? Insert mp3-CD and hit shuffle.
Megadeath: Sweating Bullets -> Grieg In the Hall of the Mountain King -> MJ Smooth Criminal
I dyslexia’d techno-sea shanties and now there’s a genre I need in my life Edit if you can imagine it, someone has made it
TAKE MY MONEY AND MY MUSIC!
I was thinking БАТЮШКА would have the combination of death metal and Gregorian chant covered. Or maybe black metal and chant, I suppose. Close enough though, imo.
The same thing happens when I put my King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard discography on shuffle. Gotta at least sort by album or it’s chaos.
Seriously. I saw them play a few years back and thought they were amazing. Some time later my friend put on an album in the car and my thought was, “what is this absolute garbage?” Same band somehow.
Yea, they are good at many sub genres of music, but not everyone is into all of them, or just not in the mood for death metal, jam band, EDM, Folk, and microtonal kazoo music all at one time lol.
(Saw them at Red Rocks last year for all 3 shows, everything was great live)
How do they have seemingly unlimited funds to make all these records?
I think they used a combo of self and indi publishing options early and then made their own label. They even released an album for free. So I assume they have low overhead, and just crank out albums.
They also probably make a ton of money touring.
Easy to go broke on tour, especially if you’ve a large band. Definitely helps they’ve their own label. They also seemed to have higher than norm ticket prices when they were in town here.
Boogie rock, folk psych rock, thrash metal, electronica, and even a bit of hip hop.
Yeah I’m into indie hip hop and medieval beekeepers
I assume you are familiar with Mongol throat singing, especially delivered in the form of techno)? I also like guys who put traffic cones in their bass saxophone. Death metal with a Banjo anyone? This intrigues me, though I don’t speak french.
If you’re into weird French music, give Igorrr a listen: drum & bass, glitch music, extreme metal, classical female vocal singing gibberish with baroque influences.
I’ve heard it called “Baroquecore”.
Sometimes Youtube’s absolutely random recommendations go hard.
Oh! weird French music ? Never been down that road before . Thanks ✌️
Enjoy. There’s a “making of” for his latest album on Youtube.
Dude built some instruments himself. He has an artist supporting him going “WTF is he going with this?”. And when pedals and weird amps aren’t enough for your guitar distortion, the obvious answer is to play it while the equipment is set on actual fire.

what about shanty inspired stuff?
Worst fad ever
sea shanties and gregorian chants are the fedoras of music genres
Removed by mod
actually, fair enough
Mind if I get a link to some of the stuff you listen to? Always down to try new things. Giggidy
So this guy’s meme actually hits pretty close to my music tastes somehow lmao. I think it’s got to be because I grew up with Linkin Park and halo. So that set my path into metal, electronic, and liking chants/shanties. My tastes have grown and changed but generally the meme is right lol.
Metal
Good intro metal bands of various subgenres (featuring catchy clean vocal parts frequently)

Electronic
Currently I listen to a lot of retro EDM. Synth wave specifically. It’s like modern EDM writing a lover letter to the 80s we all see in stranger things. Which, unironically I love the intro to that show. Music like the Weeknds blinding lights fits under this umbrella of genres (https://youtu.be/4NRXx6U8ABQ).

Shout-out to Phonk as a genre too. It’s great for studying or background for working
For sea shanties, the assassin’s creed rogue and ac black flag soundtrack has great versions or real shanties.
Also look up the dreadnaughts
They are polka and shanties. It’s awesome.
The longest John’s are another sea shanty / folk song band that rules.
And the monk chants for me really is just the halo menu music lol. It’s the best game music I’ve ever heard.
I would just click on this stuff and see if you like anything. There’s so much more to these genres than what I’m posting.
Disclaimer: This is just a taste and I just picked some stuff quickly and randomly

Mix in some rap, old school country, jazz, and dubstep with that group and you have an exact replica of one of my playlists
Man I don’t exactly love two out of four of those genres myself, but this thread has a few commenters that seem to want to pretend they’re the adults in the room but in reality they’re just a bunch of miserable cunts that either hate music or only want to listen to the same fucking popular shit over and over.
Like, popular music is fine to be clear but so is wanting to listen to weirder stuff.
No faster way to make otherwise normal-seeming people go full-on rabies-mode is to make a public statement about a kind of music you don’t like.
It’s wild how people take that as a personal attack. In every instance, in a public space, if you type out distaste in a music genre someone is going to lose all reason and restraint and come at you swinging fucking viking axes.
Meh, your take is kinda trash. You should own what you like and dont like and stop caring what other people think about you so much, especially whatever “normal” people are.
How is my take bad? I didn’t say don’t own what you like, I said people around you become irrational. That’s factual, not a take. You can choose to react any way you want to it.
Yeah, I just put my whole collection on shuffle and have come to appreciate the simplicity of that.
I use this web music player at home, which only supports shuffle and because it’s a web thing, I can’t either use keyboard shortcuts to skip songs (without switching to that window).
And I actually like that I can’t distract myself with selecting just the right music. Because if I don’t distract myself and just get into coding or whatever, I’ll quickly stop noticing what precise music is playing.
