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)

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.

3

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.

1

Boogie rock, folk psych rock, thrash metal, electronica, and even a bit of hip hop.

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.

best i can do involves a c64, cmd, a mips processor, fasttracker2, modarchive, a giant redstone cpu someone made in minecraft, a 2a03 chip, a monitor ripped off an amiga, a ti calculator, neocities, beepbox, a piano, the esolangs wiki, scratch, buncha irc chatlogs, too many .ttf files, a full mirror of xkcd, a termux install, a bunch of pico-8 cartridges i got off the lexaloffle bbs, nethack, a bunch of films i torrented off some p2p service, a telescope and conways game of life

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

https://youtu.be/J4t4pMZBXZg

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

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.

This comment made me look up at my drinking horn hanging on the wall among Ren faire weapons and shield...

Genuine question: Is it practical both for drinking and cleaning or is it really just a gimmick to look cool?

3

It's kind of practical when standing or walking slowly, like at a fair. Since it's got a shoulder strap I don't have to hold it all the time. But you can't set it down with anything in it. Cleaning is a little awkward but not terrible, give it a good soak and use a bottle brush to get all the way down.
It is fun to drink out of a horn though

Try out Mongolian Metal. They combine metal and throat singing.

lemmy.world

my favourite "genre" of music is happyish songs about death

examples:

We're All Gonna Die

Memento Mori

When I Die

and also all the songs that give me specifically the same vibe. my friends are often confused

edit: thank you all for the recommendations <3 a lot new songs on my favourite playlist!

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.

6

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

Upgrade your friends. But don’t abandon the soundtrack of your life. It's a vital piece of the narrative. 🎧

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.

lemmy.world

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.

lemmy.world

sea shanties and gregorian chants are the fedoras of music genres

4

I do, adding also Free Jazz and Stockhausen with countriy music in between.

4
lemmy.world

So, like... Sleep Token?

No joke though, this is incredible: https://youtu.be/JJpFTUP6fIo

In my day to day playlist I have mostly brutal metal and jazz, with some '90s British trip-hop, Romanian traditional music & hip hop fusion, a bit of manouche, 2000s alternative and '90s grunge here and there...

That's when I work or work out.

The Diablo or Witcher OSTs are for when I read or do my taxes.

4

Ok, this is what social media is for. Thanks everyone, so much good stuff in here. Glad I have similarly esoteric tastes..

3

Add Mongolian Throat singing and Tibetan chanting to that list.

2

I think this is what some of my neighbours look like each day when I play something different. One day, Algerian jazz from the 70s. Next day, modern German disco. Next day, psychedelic folk from Brittany (the French peninsula). Next day, synth-wave. Next day, energetic 80s Japanese fusion. Next day, Swedish Lounge Jazz. etc.

2

Mix in some rap, old school country, jazz, and dubstep with that group and you have an exact replica of one of my playlists

2

yea relatabke this happens when thwy let me choosd the music, it always ends up at a weird mix of chiptune, power metal, classical, jazz, funk and "using only windows error sounds" among many other things you usually wouldnt find in the playlist such as floppotron videos or "megalovania but every instrument is a metal pipe"

lemmy.world

I want an artist that combines all four of that into an album, even if by techno it might mean "just some form of electronic music, and not necessarily techno".

1

Go to a science fiction convention. Seriously. There's some wild live music. I wouldn't be surprised if you heard it there.

I used to go to several in the Northeast US, like Arisia, Lunacon, Philcon, Boscone. Of course yor best bet would be WorldCon.

2

See if Heilung does it for you. It’s light on the sea shanties, but covers the rest pretty well. Check out their live performance videos on YouTube too, the stage show is arguably the best part.

2

FR tho, if you get the aux you need to get the vibe. If anybody but you is enjoying the noise you put through them ears then you kinda failed the job.

(also, I'm not saying I don't like techno, sea shanties, gregorian chants and whatnot...)

God forbid I want to listen to shit I like while I'm giving my friends a lift
