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.

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

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.

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.

Metal, the anime of music. Currently in a stoner and sludge phase.

a few recommendations:

Djent/Core:

• Architects
• Spiritbox
• Jinjer
• Polaris
• Periphery
• Dayseeker
• Holding Abscence

Prog:

• Leprous
• Wheel
• Vola
• Animals as Leaders
• Haken
• TesseracT

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.

OT, but… How did we get to lemmites and not lemmings?

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.
