Post made in response to this other post, where I’ve mistakenly commented the music genres I liked, thinking the thread was about musical genres you like; as opposed to what it actually was about.
So yeah, sorry about that lmfao. I was sleepy to notice at the time.
(In case people still want to know the musical genres I like: I primarily love revolutionary/socialist music, DPRK-Pop and metal music. Occasionally however I like some video game/anime soundtrack)
Post-Punk for sure. Everything from Joy Division to Ulitsa Vostok. Also shoegaze is pretty sick.
Soviet music, almost obligatory lol but I do enjoy it.
Other than that, my tastes are pretty random. I enjoy marches, and also very fast music (gotta get that dopamine spike). Aside from that I occasionally listen to songs from movies or games (i.e Klendathu drop).
I love rap. Communist rappers especially are simply spitting truth. Aside from that, music from generally communist countries or as you put it revolutionary/socialist music is usually really good. But I also listen to plenty non-political music like, Indie-Pop, Folk, some not too aggressive Metal, Rock, …whatever “bluegrass” is supposed to be? idk for me it’d be easier giving you artists and songs I listen to xD
Communist rappers especially are simply spitting truth.
It feels like rap is really the only genre with ML-adjacent artists
Vaporwave is good in addition to what everyone else has said!
Vaporwave is so fun, I miss the 2015-16 (i think anyway) time when it was new and popular, always loved the art/aesthetic too
Favorite genres are definitely Rap and RnB but I’ll listen to some house music every once a while. Been getting into Reggaeton and Afrobeat the last couple of years and been liking those a lot.
I enjoy a bit of everything, but my favorite is… drumroll please… Pop. Call me basic, but I love my Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift. I also enjoy non-English pop like Bad Bunny, Twice, and Lexie Liu.
I also love metal, mostly thrash and power. Some bands I like are Kreator, Vektor, Seven Kingdoms, and Sonata Arctica.
I’m a big fan of Goth, mostly dark wave and post-punk. They fill out a the majority of my rotation most days, but I like breakcore/IDM adjacent stuff quite a bit too.
I enjoy every genre as long as the song is good, by listening to a song 10 seconds i can tell if its good or its mediocre. Right now i discovered neo-classical artists and ive been enjoying it a lot, artists like Olafur arnalds, hania rani, nils frahm, max Richter.
Dance music is my main shit, I listen to primarily house, garage and drum and bass.
Also listen to a ton of afrobeats/afropop, drill, rap, r&b, pop, also like some 70s/80s rock, folk and modern indie stuff as well
I like a little bit of everything. But my favorites are rock, metal, rapcore, grunge, techno-ish stuff, bubblegum pop, sovietwave music, mallsoft.
I listen to a wide variety, but my favorite has got to be nu-metal.
I enjoy most genres but I am in a bluegrass phase : Chinese bluegrass
Progressive rock is pretty much all I listen to
City pop
Melodic dubstep
And it feels impossible to find any people that share my interest in the genre
You have found one right here! Although I listen to every kind of dubstep from the old school 140 to heavy tearout.
Song example?
One of my favourite releases of 2023: Danny Olson - Time feat. Luna
If you’re planning to give it a listen, please don’t skip any part. The first half of the song is very different from he second. Together they tell a depressing but beautiful story :)
Edit: My favourite pure melodic dubstep of the year is probably: Culture Code & ARAYA - After All feat. Runn (Thrillogy Remix)
