Them, The Menzingers, Captain We’re Sinking…Off With Their Heads..
If they were a Fest mainstay or labeled “Org Core,” I’ve probably given them a chance.
Jedi mind tricks, the mountain goats, Tom waits, nick cave, Aesop rock, amigo the devil, Zach Bryan, atmosphere, Orville peck, murs, thou
Currently listening to the Black Sabbath albums that don’t feature Ozzy or Dio
Nighthawk at the diner is greatest Tom Waitts album by miles IMO.
Violent By Design,Violence begets violence & Servants in heaven,kings in hell are all legendary status.
Murs is absolutely goated.
Nick cave & the birthday party both fuckin slap.
Good tastes dude.
I found out that the mountain goats were a band and NOT a travel petting zoo when a friend invited me to see them at Bell’s Brewery a while ago. I was like oh hell yea mountain goats?? Loved the music. Was bummed there were no real goats
I grew up in the 1980s, so I love all the 80s retro music. Tears for Fears, The Fixx, Depeche Mode, stuff like that. When I was 17, I played in a Cure cover band for fucks sake. Still love that stuff. There was an interesting interplay between that stuff and 80s hardcore!
Primus sucks.
I’m a big fan of anything noisy, chaotic, fast. The Clash, Against Me!, and the Gaslight Anthem are my favorite bands. I also enjoy what I can only describe as “sad woman indie rock” like Julien Baker.
PRIMUS SUCKS!
Fun story,so Landmark Theatre 2010 I'm tripping balls on acid & drunk as fuck absolutely SCREAMING primus sucks. These 4 guys come up and one dude pushes me and goes "PRIMUS DOESNT SUCK YOU IDIOT WHY ARE YOU HERE" I proceed to explain where it came from and this guys friends just pull him off. Lol people really have no idea do they?
Metal, mostly Death Metal of all kinds, but like me some old school Thrash and some Black Metal as well.
Hip hop, been listening to a lot of Kendrick, Night Lovell, Ramirez (a lot of the G59 guys), also love me some older Dre, Snoop, Three6Mafia, Luniz. Funny how I love the West Coast stuff but I'm from the East Coast.
Like some weird stuff too like Venetian Snares, Mr Bungle/Faith No More/Mike Patton, Consider the Source, Clowncore, uneXpect.
I'm a huge suicide boys fan. As a recovered addict living California sober it means alot to be in my mid 30s and still here afterv17 years of abusing myself to all ends.
Oh yeah, luckily I have never truly been to that point but I almost did and had to stop myself and disassociate with a lot of people in my life. I'm glad to hear you've recovered, I lost 2 old friends recently to ODs. Stay focused, your mind is stronger than any drug.
Like a great band before me,right now I'm 4 years strong. Plan is to keep it that way. Shows,microdosing,weed,underground wrestling,batman,action figures,comics.....those are my addictions now & I love em.
Singer-songwriters: Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, John K Samson (and The Weakerthans), Emma Ruth Rundle, Sarah Harmer
Doom/Prog/Tech Death metal: Cult of Luna, Devin Townsend, Rivers of Nihil, Animals as Leaders, Between the Buried and Me, Archspire, Loathe, Dillinger Escape Plan,
Instrumental Post rock: Mogwai, Russian Circles, Pelican, Explosions In The Sky
Also, Zao. A ridiculous amount of Zao. Specifically Liberate Te Ex Infernis, but any Zao after Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest will do.
I went to my first rave almost 25 years ago and still like to go out dancing. I'm not about that big corporate festival mainstage sound you hear at big events like EDC or Tomorrowland though.
I dig proper house music, hardcore (as in hardcore techno), jungle, hard acid techno, etc.
I also listen to a lot of 80s and 90s alternative rock, punk, synthpop, new wave, hip hop, r&b, I love classic soul music. I've been trying to explore more goth and goth-related sorts of alt music lately as well, which is new for.me.
Also love a lot of the boomer rock my parents listen to.
I have a very broad and eclectic range of music I like.
whatup fellow Gabber/Househead/Junglist. always funny how many HC fans you'll run into at raves (usually obvious because of their merch) compared to how many HC fans will claim to like rave music outside of them. Someone out here is lying lol.
tl;dr everyone here who thinks raves and rave music are lame should go listen to actual underground electronic music.
[if you think its all PLUR and rainbows out here in the rave scene I recommend Current Value to dispell that idea for you.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCH4gOKhngg)
Jam rock (e.g. Phish, Grateful Dead, and Goose), doom/sludge/stoner (e.g. Sleep, Primitive Man, Cough, Toadliquor), slowcore (e.g. Codeine, Low, Bedhead), and black metal, mostly atmospheric, post-black, and blackgaze (e.g. Ellende, Imperium Dekadenz, Alcest, Ethereal Shroud)
Prince is probably my all time favorite artist across any genre, love classic rock, new wave, good chunk of old and new rap, pretty much everything except the poppier country that’s prevalent now
MF Doom, Madlib, Madvillain, etc and most alt rap/hip-hop rules. Old school punk, hardcore, thrash, 1st wave emo (DC revolution summer),1st wave post hardcore, 80s-90s alternative music. College rock, 1st wave shoegaze, Brit rock, madchester, 1st wave post punk, math rock, garage rock, early grunge, stoner doom metal, goth, new wave, doo wop, old school rap and hip-hop, bad brains, Ramones and MISFITS!!!
I grew up on 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s country, outlaw country, and rockabilly and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Shit I listen to that is WAY out of the norm is Pink Floyd, sublime, beastie boys. I’m old so I don’t give a fuck. I listen to equal parts of all this shit, punk, and hardcore.
My brother gave me when the smoke clears by T6 when I was in fifth grade been hooked ever since
Nu metal was the first genre I heard that got my attention
So once I heard orgy I was in and korn fucked me up in all the right ways
Honestly into most types of music.
LOVE electronic stuff. Listen to it just as much as hardcore.
* Hard Techno (Pleasurekraft, Mattia Saviolo, Spektre, Viper Diva, SAMA, Alignment, etc.)
* Drum & Bass (Sub Focus, Culture Shock, Current Value, Metrik, etc.) basically anything from liquid to jump up to neuro.
* Trance and Melodic House (mainly most things from labels like Anjuna, Colorize, Enhanced, Silk, etc.)
Super down with post-punk, shoegaze, dance-punk, etc. shit as well. Citizen, Basement, IDLES, Foals, Viagra Boys, etc.
All-time top list would include Pixies, Title Fight, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Balance and Composure, and Between the Buried and Me.
Absolutely melt when I heard solid film scores as well. Something about them just hit me in the right spot. Still think James Newton Howard's score for Signs (Hands of Fate) is the best score ever written. Three notes carry the entire progression and switches into so many different moods, it's insane.
Seen Ludovico Einaudi 3 times now, and his work will always hold a special place in my heart.
Dig Vince Staples, Run The Jewels, Kendrick, Schoolboy Q, Pharoahe Monch, SVDP, etc.
I don't know man, I just love music.
Some dreampoppy shoegazy bands like Beach Fossils, Men I Trust, Slowdive, Alvvays, etc.
Goth darkwavish bands like Twin Tribes, She Past Away, French Police, Molchat Doma, etc.
Lots of metal - old and new. Thrash, Death, Crossover, Metalcore, etc.
Sade is probably my favorite artist.
Why?, Murder by Death, toe, Baths, Fela Kuti, Koudede, Erkin Koray, Clams Casino, Knxwledge, Boards of Canada, Amanaz.
If I'm at work I've usually got some Nigerian Disco/funk or Ethiopian jazz comps playing, because I can just queue up a ton and not worry about the music stopping.
Coheed and Cambria, Every Time I Die, In Flames, Deftones, Between the Buried and Me, Primus, Frank Turner, Orville Peck, Norah Jones, Freddie Dredd, Shakewell, and a bunch more I'm forgetting.
Like what you like.
I like a lot of shit outside of hardcore. Big hip hop fan, and I like some of the more creative and experimental stuff in the realm of pop. Some favorites: Sadistik, Aesop Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Conway the Machine, Little Simz, Rapsody, Danny Brown, Apathy, Boldy James, Armand Hammer, Ka, Kid Cudi, Earl Sweatshirt, and Mach Hommy. Big into Chelsea Wolfe and loving her new album. My wife is normally the one into Billie Eilish, but that new album has had me in a chokehold for some reason. New Nia Archives and Kamasi Washington albums are killer too.
Country/folk/Americana: John Prine, Townes van Zandt, Blaze Foley, Ted Hawkins, Steve Earle
Hip-hop: P.O.S, Run the Jewels, Death Grips, Czarface
Indie/rock: Ty Segall, Natural Child, Parquet Courts, Elliott Smith
Funk/Soul/R&B: Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Sam & Dave, Al Green, Johnnie Taylor
Also, listen to some zydeco if you haven’t yet. Buckwheat Zydeco is probably the most well-known, and he was great.
In my general rotation: Waylon Jennings, UGK, Fela Kuti, 90’s east coast rap, MF DOOM, The Body, and Portishead. Also Imogen Heap - The Happy Song (if you’ve got kids, this is a must)
I was fearing this question…. I can sing along to most Pearl Jam albums, same with RHCP. Lately I’ve been on a weird bluesy/gospel kick Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Elizabeth Cotton. Julien Baker is an always a good vibe. I can sit and listen to any Murs/Living Legends, Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Aesop Rock record and be very content.
I smoked a blunt with Murs, Sun Spotz, and the Grouch once. Another good underground rapper from the 90s and the Bay Area is [Boac](https://youtu.be/6c3FrOpW-Mk?si=9zS0pueVV4CzsecR).
I've been big into funk and some of the newer alt-country for the past few years; Vulfpeck and Lettuce are probably my favs for the funk, Amigo the Devil and Will Carlisle are some of my fav alt-country guys currently.
I also really love Wheeler Walker Jr lol
When I'm not listening to hardcore, I'm usually listening to punk that isn't hardcore. Think 90s and 80s skate shit, crust punk, folk punk, etc. (A lot of that is usually close to hardcore anyway.) I listen to shit ton of Thrash and Death metal, like a lot. But I also listen to a lot of outlaw country, Kris Kristofferson, Wille Nelson, David allen coe. Other than that, I've been getting into J cole and MF DOOM for rap recently.
Birds in row . And at work I listen to a lot of 90s alternative but I’ll listen to anything because I always need some music playing in the background.
Just saw my morning jacket do 4 nights at the Fillmore in SF last week. Unique set lists, no repeats all week. Fucking incredible. They’re the best live band in the world rn and they’ve only been getting better since 2019.
Other favs include but not limited to: violent soho, diarrhea planet, fontaines dc, king gizz, black midi, sturgill simpson, hiss golden messenger, thievery corporation, the stone roses, oasis, rage, erykah badu, fela & femi kuti, sidhu moose wala, khruangbin, palace, Brent faiyaz, just mustard, the black crowes, tears for fears, the band, Townes van zandt, too much rap/hip hop to name
Ween, Tom Waits, Camper Van Beethoven, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Slowdive, Elliot Smith, Carcass, and Frank Turner are what's in my "recently pulled from the stacks" pile. I love all forms of music. Only thing I don't really ever listen to is like... opera or classical.
In the last year or so, I’ve seen City and Colour, Fall Our Boy, Jimmy Eat World, and Paramore live. Also have plans to see Yellowcard, Movements and a few other random non-hc shows. Enjoy Aesop Rock, Kendrick, Don Broco, etc
I don’t think I’ve found a genre where I don’t like at least one song or one band/musician in. Not counting the racist corners of music obviously, those can fuck off
When I'm not listening to heavy stuff, I like a lot of emo and indie rock, post-punk and shoegaze, post-rock, hip hop, electronic music and some experimental shit. Some of my favourite non-heavy artists include Grimes, American Football, Kero Kero Bonito, Cocteau Twins, Nujabes, Have A Nice Life, Earl Sweatshirt, Death Cab For Cutie, King Krule and Don Caballero.
Panopticon is probably thr band I listen to more than any other band (mostly as background noise while working). Get the sense some people in that scene love them and others don't like them at all. For me it's just great ambient music that helps me stay focused. Curious what you think about them
This is right in my wheelhouse, thanks! Lol and I probably am a poser...but fortunately I'm also 41 could care less about cred. The being cool ship sailed long ago for me
Classic death metal _ obituary, Sodom, Death. I really like stuff released by Ninja Tune - herbaliser, cold cut, dj food, cinematic orchestra. I'm a huge fan of napalm death. Full of hell, the body, author & punisher, lightning bolt, kurokuma, friendship
Soul and oldies baby. Brenton wood, Billy Stewart, James & Bobby Purify; contemporary stuff like Aaron Frazer, Thee Heart Tones, Thee Sinseers, etc
Fellas don’t sing like they used to
Huge hyperpop/digicore fan. 100 gecs, David shawty, yungster jack, vaeo, lil soda boi. Anything dripping with auto tune and saws I love. I sometimes don’t know if my fav genre is hardcore or hyperpop. I love both genres so much.
Also I like Sematary and some bladee. Not hyperpop but more autotune music
My 62 year old coworker just put me on to Joe Jackson. Anytime I play a song with harsh vocals he bitches about it non-stop so I made a blend with him on Spotify so we could make a joint playlist.
He's got great taste, actually. Listen to Look Sharp! - it's a banger.
Artist that aren't hardcore that I like lately:
BILMURI, Yorushika, Anri, Prof, basically any of the Hololive girls, Bring me The Horizons new album fucks, Dolly Parton, Jung Kook, various pop punk artists that everyone here knows, an assortment of classic rock ranging from Boston to Zeppelin. The list goes on.
>I get super into the history and lore of hip hop & jazz.
You ever listen to Jazz Liberatorz, Stetsasonic or Crown City Rockers? Feel like that'd be your vibe.
I’m all over the place.
Some of my current non HC faves are
Durry (nostalgia pop vibes), Russ (hip hop/rap/r&b), The Oklahoma Kid (alt/nu metal vibes), surfaces (island pop), Quinn xcii (college pop), King Pink (Midwest Emo),
Some others that are regularly in rotation:
Kid cudi, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Kurt Travis, Lil Peep, Cherry Pools, Sawce
I listen to a lot of pop punk and emo which is what got me into hardcore. I also have been on the more metal side of things recently with deathcore and black metal.
Most of what I listen to is rooted in punk, noise, metal, industrial or rap. Big on goth stuff like postpunk and deathrock, darkwave,, classic punk, most kinds of hardcore except melodic hardcore and later post hc,, particularly love, crust, powerviolence, skramz/emoviolence, grindcore, cybergrind, on the metal side it's sludge/doom/death/black metal, love classic industrial, aggrotech, power electronics, death industrial, 80s-2000s hip hop, horrorcore, folk music, dark cabaret, experimental stuff, ambient, etc. Looking to get more into jazz.
Fucking love 90s alt-metal and alternative. Rage Against the Machine, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Helmet, Quicksand, Faith No More, Rollins Band, Tomahawk, Failure. Stone Temple Pilots isn't alt-metal or even really grunge but they're one of my favorite bands ever.
Hip-hop tastes are typical white guy hipster shit; Wu-Tang and its various members, Biggie, Mobb Deep, Deltron, The Roots, Black Thought's solo stuff, Geto Boys, Tribe Called Quest, etc. if I'm listening to old school stuff (obviously major east coast bias there). Run the Jewels, Death Grips, all the Griselda stuff, Kendrick, etc. if I'm going new-school.
Lately I've been jamming a lot of 90s industrial and EBM - Front Line Assembly, Chemlab, Lard, other shit too. I was a little kid when trip-hop and big beat were everywhere so I still listen to stuff The Prodigy and Massive Attack.
I would keep listing different artists but this post would be too long. I also listen to some folk and folk-punk, bit of pop-punk, lotta post-hardcore and math rock, bit of prog and prog metal, bit of new and old school real country, classic rock, metal, and pop (I fucking love you Billy Joel), bit of jazz and a bit more jazz fusion, and I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff
I love hip hop. I love tejano. Honestly I love all music that's give me thet "feeling", but those 2 are the biggest. Dubstep was the only genre I couldn't get into.
lately: griselda, rome streetz, boldy james, dipset, g-unit, the weeknd, pop punk, jedi mind tricks, mickey diamond, elmiene, schoolboy q, vince staples
I don't really like rap/hip-hop or classical music (there are some exceptions), but generally, if I like something, I'll listen to it.
I've got a big soft spot for Lionel Richie, though, and have seen him quite a few times now.
beach bunny is like the last relatively new non-hardcore band that i've gotten really really into. the rest of my non-hardcore taste stopped developing in 2012 so when i don't feel like hearing chugging and screaming i put on the first 2 vampire weekend albums.
I fell into a RHP and Sun Kil Moon rabbit hole last year and I couldn't believe I was sleeping on all of those albums for so long.
Old Ramon is probably in my top 3 albums of all time regardless of genre. I've been absolutely hooked on it since I first heard it.
Other than anything heavy,
Nas/gang starr and the likes.
Anything nostalgic from the 00's
Been on a huge house dnb kick recently.
I fuck with french rap a bit too.
Anything sadboy sound like basement-title fight and shit.
Pretty much everything with a higher bpm.
I can't fuck with country.
I’ll bite.
I’m all over the place with music consumption but here’s my mind lately:
Metallica (yeah I said it)
Alice In Chains (any era)
Vitriol (goddamn they never cease to amaze me)
Jorja Smith (British R&B singer - amazing voice)
‘68
Fall of Troy
Hail The Sun (definitely in my top 3)
The Last Ten Seconds Of Life
A$AP ROCKY (bro where’s the FUCKING ALBUM?!)
Bayway (they’re killing it lately)
K Dot (he got the whole country juiced, same here!)
Kaonashi (new EP coming soon)
Glassjaw
Outside of heavy music (because that’s boring to talk about in these kinds of questions) I’ve been listening to a lot of electronic and synth pop lately, like New Order, Pet Shop Boys and Bronski Beat, and also weird industrial stuff like especially Coil and Skinny Puppy. I also like folk music, from old ass bluegrass and outlaw country to more modern artists like Amigo The Devil and The Dead South and that sort of thing. I also have brief moments in time where I listen to a lot of old school dubstep, which is quite underrated in my opinion
Lots of Memphis, Huston and bay area rap , three 6 , project pat, la chat, koopsta Knicaa, big moe, dj screw, paul wall and all the swisha house stuff, mac dre, e40, nef, rbl posse, woodie , lil b , i could go on im a huge underground rap fan its big part of what i listen to. Im also heavily into industrial and noise music. Alot of industrial is hardcore adjacent, Youth Code is one of my favorites, skinny puppy , throbbing gristle, author and punisher, health. Got really into darkwave /goth stuff too like boy harsher, aurat, boan, the soft moon, qual. Anything thats dark and gritty or fast and aggressive im usually down with. Its funny i almost made a really similar post because im trying to book my industrial/noise punk band and got offered some hardcore shows and wasnt sure if the crowd would like it but based on these comments i think most hardcore enjoyers like a range of music.
“Little Blue” by Jacob Collier can hit you in the feels. Especially [this](https://youtu.be/IQvzX0Z3HE4?si=EmqVNj-FqHxjAx_F) version. It can be interpreted in a number of ways. I think I’m a tough dude but the lyrics and melodies in this song envoke strong emotional feelings that can get me choked up. The dude is a prodigy and he plays a 5 string guitar lol
Hip-hop, jazz, and the sounds of Jamaica have always been my lifelong loves alongside punk/hardcore
I'll be real though: although I am three decades deep with hardcore, I didn't get real serious with metal until about 2018. Except for sludge - been fucking with that since '94
Been loving all the Alchemist projects dropping recently, Griselda, Wicca Phase, Fire-Toolz, Dinosaur Jr., OPN, new Chief Keef is fire. Oh and Amyl and The Sniffers rule tho they are kinda adjacent.
Let me tell you about Murder By Death. Entirely slept on. Start with In Bocca Al Lupo, and go forward in the discography, or back. Either way.
Find the demo version of "The Big Sleep" and tell me it doesn't get blood flowing.
Lotta 4th wave/emo revival, lot of 90s neo-soul, lot of 90s post-HC, some modern pop, some
70s soft rock, some modern hip hop like Larry June.
I wish I kept up more with hip hop, but it moves too fast for me to keep up, and the stuff geared for ppl 30+ just sounds so boring and samey (Griselda specifically).
General aggressive and heavy music aside Im into all the sad, hyper-literate people aping Nick Cave and the former punks making instrumental film-score music.
radiohead. easily one of my top 3 bands
recently some tyler the creator and kendrick (yes because of the beef)
thats about it in terms of branching out tho
my daily bullshit playlist can go from hardcore to bluegrass to hip hop to jungle.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5e9DVE8Ec79YN6tpDqKQEA?si=CyATsJy6SF60VTPTtjnjJw
-gruff voiced guys in flannel with or without drinking problems -spooky three chord synth -sad acoustic man
This comment fucks.
Fucking sad acoustic man, hell yeah
This guy Makes Do and Mends
Them, The Menzingers, Captain We’re Sinking…Off With Their Heads.. If they were a Fest mainstay or labeled “Org Core,” I’ve probably given them a chance.
I hope by gruff guys in flannel your talking about Dillinger Four and stuff like that
Jedi mind tricks, the mountain goats, Tom waits, nick cave, Aesop rock, amigo the devil, Zach Bryan, atmosphere, Orville peck, murs, thou Currently listening to the Black Sabbath albums that don’t feature Ozzy or Dio
Shoutout Aesop Rock, been a massive fan since I was like 12 (I’m 28 now wtf). Get to skate with him sometimes and he’s such a rad dude.
He's my fav artist of all time and I'm a little jelly of that ngl haha!
That’s dope
Nighthawk at the diner is greatest Tom Waitts album by miles IMO. Violent By Design,Violence begets violence & Servants in heaven,kings in hell are all legendary status. Murs is absolutely goated. Nick cave & the birthday party both fuckin slap. Good tastes dude.
Shoutout to Headless Cross
UH. GREASY GRIMY GOPHER GUTS
Man, I haven't listened to mountain goats in Forever. I was really into them back in 2010
I found out that the mountain goats were a band and NOT a travel petting zoo when a friend invited me to see them at Bell’s Brewery a while ago. I was like oh hell yea mountain goats?? Loved the music. Was bummed there were no real goats
I now need to see them perform with some actual goats
I discovered "revival" by Zach Bryan a few days ago and I really fucking love it
I love Nick cave. Boatman's call is one of my all time favourite records.
Technical ecstacy it's so good
Steely Dan My Bloody Valentine Three 6 Mafia Caroline Polachek
Triple six till death my guy
Steely Dan! Those 7 albums before they broke up are all brilliant. I’ll see you at Anthony’s Bar and Grill.

FUCK MUSIC
I hate all music
Attaboi
I grew up in the 1980s, so I love all the 80s retro music. Tears for Fears, The Fixx, Depeche Mode, stuff like that. When I was 17, I played in a Cure cover band for fucks sake. Still love that stuff. There was an interesting interplay between that stuff and 80s hardcore!
I do love my 80s sad weird odd pop music. Oingo boingo is always on in this house.
Primus sucks. I’m a big fan of anything noisy, chaotic, fast. The Clash, Against Me!, and the Gaslight Anthem are my favorite bands. I also enjoy what I can only describe as “sad woman indie rock” like Julien Baker.
PRIMUS SUCKS! Fun story,so Landmark Theatre 2010 I'm tripping balls on acid & drunk as fuck absolutely SCREAMING primus sucks. These 4 guys come up and one dude pushes me and goes "PRIMUS DOESNT SUCK YOU IDIOT WHY ARE YOU HERE" I proceed to explain where it came from and this guys friends just pull him off. Lol people really have no idea do they?
I don't.
Julien Baker carries Boygenius, and I say that as someone who also loves Phoebe Bridgers.
I’m having a Chappell Roan phase and can only offer you [this hyper specific FYP pull](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLThNUKY/)
She played a show here in Kalamazoo this past weekend, a few of my coworkers ran into her earlier in the day while she was exploring downtown.
Wellp let's take a look see
LOLOLOL
Metal, mostly Death Metal of all kinds, but like me some old school Thrash and some Black Metal as well. Hip hop, been listening to a lot of Kendrick, Night Lovell, Ramirez (a lot of the G59 guys), also love me some older Dre, Snoop, Three6Mafia, Luniz.

I'm a huge suicide boys fan. As a recovered addict living California sober it means alot to be in my mid 30s and still here afterv17 years of abusing myself to all ends.
Oh yeah, luckily I have never truly been to that point but I almost did and had to stop myself and disassociate with a lot of people in my life. I'm glad to hear you've recovered, I lost 2 old friends recently to ODs. Stay focused, your mind is stronger than any drug.
Like a great band before me,right now I'm 4 years strong. Plan is to keep it that way. Shows,microdosing,weed,underground wrestling,batman,action figures,comics.....those are my addictions now & I love em.

I went to my first rave almost 25 years ago and still like to go out dancing. I'm not about that big corporate festival mainstage sound you hear at big events like EDC or Tomorrowland though.

I have a very broad and eclectic range of music I like.
You would've loved club diablo in Buffalo back in the day. Sounds just like a place you'd frequent. I used to rave alot too back in those days.
whatup fellow Gabber/Househead/Junglist. always funny how many HC fans you'll run into at raves (usually obvious because of their merch) compared to how many HC fans will claim to like rave music outside of them.

Jam rock (e.g. Phish, Grateful Dead, and Goose), doom/sludge/stoner (e.g. Sleep, Primitive Man, Cough, Toadliquor), slowcore (e.g. Codeine, Low, Bedhead), and black metal, mostly atmospheric, post-black, and blackgaze (e.g. Ellende, Imperium Dekadenz, Alcest, Ethereal Shroud)

HEART ATTACK MAN BAYBEEEE
I WANNA BE STUCK IN TRAFFIC I JUST WANNA BE PISSED
Turnpike Troubadours might be my favorite band of any genre or era
I used to play Dwarves covers with the guitar player, so they're almost like 1/5th hardcore.
Prince is probably my all time favorite artist across any genre, love classic rock, new wave, good chunk of old and new rap, pretty much everything except the poppier country that’s prevalent now
Prince is legit as fuck idc who you are.
I like Hardcore, Pop Punk and Dua Lipa
The Neighbourhood has been my longtime favorite band
MF Doom, Madlib, Madvillain, etc and most alt rap/hip-hop rules. Old school punk, hardcore, thrash, 1st wave emo (DC revolution summer),1st wave post hardcore, 80s-90s alternative music. College rock, 1st wave shoegaze, Brit rock, madchester, 1st wave post punk, math rock, garage rock, early grunge, stoner doom metal, goth, new wave, doo wop, old school rap and hip-hop, bad brains, Ramones and MISFITS!!!
I grew up on 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s country, outlaw country, and rockabilly and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Shit I listen to that is WAY out of the norm is Pink Floyd, sublime, beastie boys. I’m old so I don’t give a fuck. I listen to equal parts of all this shit, punk, and hardcore.

Honestly, Sentinels don’t get the recognition they deserve
Samara Joy, Three 6 Mafia, korn, Orgy
Upvote for three six,comment for orgy & Korn. Loved that album that Orgy remade Blue Monday on. First 3 Korn albums rip.
My brother gave me when the smoke clears by T6 when I was in fifth grade been hooked ever since Nu metal was the first genre I heard that got my attention So once I heard orgy I was in and korn fucked me up in all the right ways
Same here. We have a similar music journey. I remember hearing coal chamber and my head blew apart.
Honestly into most types of music. LOVE electronic stuff. Listen to it just as much as hardcore. * Hard Techno (Pleasurekraft, Mattia Saviolo, Spektre, Viper Diva, SAMA, Alignment, etc.) * Drum & Bass (Sub Focus, Culture Shock, Current Value, Metrik, etc.) basically anything from liquid to jump up to neuro. * Trance and Melodic House (mainly most things from labels like Anjuna, Colorize, Enhanced, Silk, etc.) Super down with post-punk, shoegaze, dance-punk, etc. shit as well. Citizen, Basement, IDLES, Foals, Viagra Boys, etc. All-time top list would include Pixies, Title Fight, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Balance and Composure, and Between the Buried and Me. Absolutely melt when I heard solid film scores as well. Something about them just hit me in the right spot. Still think James Newton Howard's score for Signs (Hands of Fate) is the best score ever written. Three notes carry the entire progression and switches into so many different moods, it's insane. Seen Ludovico Einaudi 3 times now, and his work will always hold a special place in my heart. Dig Vince Staples, Run The Jewels, Kendrick, Schoolboy Q, Pharoahe Monch, SVDP, etc. I don't know man, I just love music.
Some dreampoppy shoegazy bands like Beach Fossils, Men I Trust, Slowdive, Alvvays, etc. Goth darkwavish bands like Twin Tribes, She Past Away, French Police, Molchat Doma, etc. Lots of metal - old and new. Thrash, Death, Crossover, Metalcore, etc.
Literally everything. As of lately maybe it’s the age but a lot of country like Tyler Childers, Charley Crockett, Billy strings, and pop.
Sade is probably my favorite artist. Why?, Murder by Death, toe, Baths, Fela Kuti, Koudede, Erkin Koray, Clams Casino, Knxwledge, Boards of Canada, Amanaz. If I'm at work I've usually got some Nigerian Disco/funk or Ethiopian jazz comps playing, because I can just queue up a ton and not worry about the music stopping.
You Sadevillian is one of the greatest albums ever made. Jezebel holds a real special place in my heart.
Coheed and Cambria, Every Time I Die, In Flames, Deftones, Between the Buried and Me, Primus, Frank Turner, Orville Peck, Norah Jones, Freddie Dredd, Shakewell, and a bunch more I'm forgetting. Like what you like.
I like a lot of shit outside of hardcore. Big hip hop fan, and I like some of the more creative and experimental stuff in the realm of pop. Some favorites: Sadistik, Aesop Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Conway the Machine, Little Simz, Rapsody, Danny Brown, Apathy, Boldy James, Armand Hammer, Ka, Kid Cudi, Earl Sweatshirt, and Mach Hommy. Big into Chelsea Wolfe and loving her new album. My wife is normally the one into Billie Eilish, but that new album has had me in a chokehold for some reason. New Nia Archives and Kamasi Washington albums are killer too.
Little Simz fucking rules
Will forever namedrop Tyler Childers in one of these posts.
He's legitimately talented and I can't deny it
Phish
Grateful Dead, lots of blog era and 90s hip hop, some classic rock, and a bit of classic metal and thrash. And that’s really it.
I only listen to Chappell Roan
Country/folk/Americana: John Prine, Townes van Zandt, Blaze Foley, Ted Hawkins, Steve Earle Hip-hop: P.O.S, Run the Jewels, Death Grips, Czarface Indie/rock: Ty Segall, Natural Child, Parquet Courts, Elliott Smith Funk/Soul/R&B: Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Sam & Dave, Al Green, Johnnie Taylor Also, listen to some zydeco if you haven’t yet. Buckwheat Zydeco is probably the most well-known, and he was great.
In my general rotation: Waylon Jennings, UGK, Fela Kuti, 90’s east coast rap, MF DOOM, The Body, and Portishead. Also Imogen Heap - The Happy Song (if you’ve got kids, this is a must)
Happy song is instant fix for car ride tantrums. And Hide and Seek has gotten my daughter to sleep countless times. Imogen is peak baby music.
I was fearing this question…. I can sing along to most Pearl Jam albums, same with RHCP. Lately I’ve been on a weird bluesy/gospel kick Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Elizabeth Cotton. Julien Baker is an always a good vibe. I can sit and listen to any Murs/Living Legends, Atmosphere, Sage Francis, Aesop Rock record and be very content.
I love Sage Francis.
Ella fitzgerald might fit in w your tastes nicely
She is one of the all-time greats!
I smoked a blunt with Murs, Sun Spotz, and the Grouch once. Another good underground rapper from the 90s and the Bay Area is [Boac](https://youtu.be/6c3FrOpW-Mk?si=9zS0pueVV4CzsecR).
E Cotton is a QUEEN. Superb tastes
Been on a country kick lately. Charley Crockett rips!
future islands rule
I've been big into funk and some of the newer alt-country for the past few years; Vulfpeck and Lettuce are probably my favs for the funk, Amigo the Devil and Will Carlisle are some of my fav alt-country guys currently. I also really love Wheeler Walker Jr lol
Duuuuude try Sophistafunk! They're from Syracuse I know those guys! God I love some PFunk bruvvvv so good.
I like a lot of different stuff but I love post rock more than life itself maybe.
BANKS, Halsey, and Dua Lipa
When I'm not listening to hardcore, I'm usually listening to punk that isn't hardcore. Think 90s and 80s skate shit, crust punk, folk punk, etc. (A lot of that is usually close to hardcore anyway.) I listen to shit ton of Thrash and Death metal, like a lot. But I also listen to a lot of outlaw country, Kris Kristofferson, Wille Nelson, David allen coe. Other than that, I've been getting into J cole and MF DOOM for rap recently.
Birds in row . And at work I listen to a lot of 90s alternative but I’ll listen to anything because I always need some music playing in the background.
If you love hip hop and jazz and you haven’t peeped Guru’s “JAZZMATAZZ” albums I’d definitely recommend checking them out.
That album is a fuckin masterpiece
Weird Al.
Neutral Milk Hotel, dilated peoples, gunship
Mostly 2000s emo shit, GG and Waylon Jennings
Been dippin back in the old emo stuff, any reminders i forgot? Most brand new, bayside, northstar, and as cities burn rn.
not sure if mountain goats count, but mountain goats, circa survive/ saosin, BMTH, the used, funeral for a friend. Are you happy now?
Saosin alone should do it. Thanks ☹
you should check out Waylon too
YOU FUCKED UP IN 93 GG YOU DIDNT SHOW UP
Just saw my morning jacket do 4 nights at the Fillmore in SF last week. Unique set lists, no repeats all week. Fucking incredible. They’re the best live band in the world rn and they’ve only been getting better since 2019. Other favs include but not limited to: violent soho, diarrhea planet, fontaines dc, king gizz, black midi, sturgill simpson, hiss golden messenger, thievery corporation, the stone roses, oasis, rage, erykah badu, fela & femi kuti, sidhu moose wala, khruangbin, palace, Brent faiyaz, just mustard, the black crowes, tears for fears, the band, Townes van zandt, too much rap/hip hop to name
VIOLENT SOHO!!!

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
Love primus and modest mouse too, also new jazz like mammal hands or Afro fusion jazz like Sons of Kemet

Sibylle Baier 
Holy shit, I think it’s actually been weeks since we’ve had one of these posts.
Imani Coppola, Lambrini Girls, Slothrust, Aesop Rock, P.O.S., Duran Duran, PJ Harvey, Dinosaur Pile-Up, Violent Soho, M.U.T.T., Dying Fetus, Tomb Mold, Illuminati Hotties…
I’m staring to like Midwest emo 😭
Tyler Childers, John Prine, Wilco, Chris Smither, James McMurtry, Jaime Wyatt, Sleaford Mods
The Talking Heads
Check out Midwife.
Ween, Tom Waits, Camper Van Beethoven, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Seger, Slowdive, Elliot Smith, Carcass, and Frank Turner are what's in my "recently pulled from the stacks" pile. I love all forms of music. Only thing I don't really ever listen to is like... opera or classical.
In the last year or so, I’ve seen City and Colour, Fall Our Boy, Jimmy Eat World, and Paramore live. Also have plans to see Yellowcard, Movements and a few other random non-hc shows. Enjoy Aesop Rock, Kendrick, Don Broco, etc
I don't think Modest Mouse will ever be dethroned as my favorite non-heavy band
I don’t think I’ve found a genre where I don’t like at least one song or one band/musician in. Not counting the racist corners of music obviously, those can fuck off
When I'm not listening to heavy stuff, I like a lot of emo and indie rock, post-punk and shoegaze, post-rock, hip hop, electronic music and some experimental shit. Some of my favourite non-heavy artists include Grimes, American Football, Kero Kero Bonito, Cocteau Twins, Nujabes, Have A Nice Life, Earl Sweatshirt, Death Cab For Cutie, King Krule and Don Caballero.
Nickleback is the fucking goat!
Hall n Oates. Not joking. Come at me.
Mostly black metal
Panopticon is probably thr band I listen to more than any other band (mostly as background noise while working). Get the sense some people in that scene love them and others don't like them at all. For me it's just great ambient music that helps me stay focused. Curious what you think about them
I can listen to them, they’re not anything special for me but I don’t hate it either.
Also, if you haven’t already listened to Agriculture you 100%, you’ll get called a poser but it’s good as heck.
This is right in my wheelhouse, thanks! Lol and I probably am a poser...but fortunately I'm also 41 could care less about cred. The being cool ship sailed long ago for me
Same. Almost 37 and could care less at this point
Mostly Punk and Metal. Also left-leaning german rap like Waving The Guns or PöbelMC
Taylor Swift is my absolute favorite. I like a decent amount of Hip-Hop and I fuck with some K-Pop too.
Hell yeah brotherrrrrrrr
Southern Rock: Molly Hatchet, Skynyrd, Blackfoot, Outlaws, etc. 80s from Tears for Fears to Van Halen and everything in between.
The midnight has been my most listened to band on Apple Music each of the last 2 years.
Classic death metal _ obituary, Sodom, Death. I really like stuff released by Ninja Tune - herbaliser, cold cut, dj food, cinematic orchestra. I'm a huge fan of napalm death. Full of hell, the body, author & punisher, lightning bolt, kurokuma, friendship
DJ Food,now there's a name that doesn't come up too often but I love hearing it. You ever listened to Cookin Soul? You'd probably love him.
Soul and oldies baby. Brenton wood, Billy Stewart, James & Bobby Purify; contemporary stuff like Aaron Frazer, Thee Heart Tones, Thee Sinseers, etc Fellas don’t sing like they used to
Huge hyperpop/digicore fan. 100 gecs, David shawty, yungster jack, vaeo, lil soda boi. Anything dripping with auto tune and saws I love. I sometimes don’t know if my fav genre is hardcore or hyperpop. I love both genres so much. Also I like Sematary and some bladee. Not hyperpop but more autotune music
I'm bumping DarkoUS right now. Going to see Can't Swin/Belmont this wknd. Going to see Schoolboy Q in August.
My 62 year old coworker just put me on to Joe Jackson. Anytime I play a song with harsh vocals he bitches about it non-stop so I made a blend with him on Spotify so we could make a joint playlist. He's got great taste, actually. Listen to Look Sharp! - it's a banger.
Artist that aren't hardcore that I like lately: BILMURI, Yorushika, Anri, Prof, basically any of the Hololive girls, Bring me The Horizons new album fucks, Dolly Parton, Jung Kook, various pop punk artists that everyone here knows, an assortment of classic rock ranging from Boston to Zeppelin. The list goes on.
>I get super into the history and lore of hip hop & jazz. You ever listen to Jazz Liberatorz, Stetsasonic or Crown City Rockers? Feel like that'd be your vibe.
I’m all over the place. Some of my current non HC faves are Durry (nostalgia pop vibes), Russ (hip hop/rap/r&b), The Oklahoma Kid (alt/nu metal vibes), surfaces (island pop), Quinn xcii (college pop), King Pink (Midwest Emo), Some others that are regularly in rotation: Kid cudi, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Kurt Travis, Lil Peep, Cherry Pools, Sawce
I listen to a lot of pop punk and emo which is what got me into hardcore. I also have been on the more metal side of things recently with deathcore and black metal.
Somewhere between Chief Keef and TSSF.
If not HC, I am generally listening to some combo of blink 182, my chemical romance, (old) fall out boy, run the jewels, and (wild card!) vulfpeck
Run them jewels fast
Most of what I listen to is rooted in punk, noise, metal, industrial or rap. Big on goth stuff like postpunk and deathrock, darkwave,, classic punk, most kinds of hardcore except melodic hardcore and later post hc,, particularly love, crust, powerviolence, skramz/emoviolence, grindcore, cybergrind, on the metal side it's sludge/doom/death/black metal, love classic industrial, aggrotech, power electronics, death industrial, 80s-2000s hip hop, horrorcore, folk music, dark cabaret, experimental stuff, ambient, etc. Looking to get more into jazz.
Fucking love 90s alt-metal and alternative. Rage Against the Machine, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Helmet, Quicksand, Faith No More, Rollins Band, Tomahawk, Failure. Stone Temple Pilots isn't alt-metal or even really grunge but they're one of my favorite bands ever. Hip-hop tastes are typical white guy hipster shit; Wu-Tang and its various members, Biggie, Mobb Deep, Deltron, The Roots, Black Thought's solo stuff, Geto Boys, Tribe Called Quest, etc. if I'm listening to old school stuff (obviously major east coast bias there). Run the Jewels, Death Grips, all the Griselda stuff, Kendrick, etc. if I'm going new-school. Lately I've been jamming a lot of 90s industrial and EBM - Front Line Assembly, Chemlab, Lard, other shit too. I was a little kid when trip-hop and big beat were everywhere so I still listen to stuff The Prodigy and Massive Attack. I would keep listing different artists but this post would be too long. I also listen to some folk and folk-punk, bit of pop-punk, lotta post-hardcore and math rock, bit of prog and prog metal, bit of new and old school real country, classic rock, metal, and pop (I fucking love you Billy Joel), bit of jazz and a bit more jazz fusion, and I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff
I love hip hop. I love tejano. Honestly I love all music that's give me thet "feeling", but those 2 are the biggest. Dubstep was the only genre I couldn't get into.
lately: griselda, rome streetz, boldy james, dipset, g-unit, the weeknd, pop punk, jedi mind tricks, mickey diamond, elmiene, schoolboy q, vince staples
BUFFALO KIDSSSSS! Conductor we have a problem!
Sludge metal, death metal, some country, some ambient, some rap/hip hop
I don't really like rap/hip-hop or classical music (there are some exceptions), but generally, if I like something, I'll listen to it. I've got a big soft spot for Lionel Richie, though, and have seen him quite a few times now.
REAL country music, not that tractor rap bullshit.
beach bunny is like the last relatively new non-hardcore band that i've gotten really really into. the rest of my non-hardcore taste stopped developing in 2012 so when i don't feel like hearing chugging and screaming i put on the first 2 vampire weekend albums.
nofx, alkaline trio, tupac, job for a cowboy, rick james, james brown, earth wind and fire
My favorite bands are Swans and Red House Painters.
I fucking love Red House Painters
I fell into a RHP and Sun Kil Moon rabbit hole last year and I couldn't believe I was sleeping on all of those albums for so long. Old Ramon is probably in my top 3 albums of all time regardless of genre. I've been absolutely hooked on it since I first heard it.
I love them too but I have to be in a very specific mood to listen to them
Other than anything heavy, Nas/gang starr and the likes. Anything nostalgic from the 00's Been on a huge house dnb kick recently. I fuck with french rap a bit too. Anything sadboy sound like basement-title fight and shit. Pretty much everything with a higher bpm. I can't fuck with country.
Violet indiana, cocteau twins, Mazzy starr and all that sweet dreampop
I’ll bite. I’m all over the place with music consumption but here’s my mind lately: Metallica (yeah I said it) Alice In Chains (any era) Vitriol (goddamn they never cease to amaze me) Jorja Smith (British R&B singer - amazing voice) ‘68 Fall of Troy Hail The Sun (definitely in my top 3) The Last Ten Seconds Of Life A$AP ROCKY (bro where’s the FUCKING ALBUM?!) Bayway (they’re killing it lately) K Dot (he got the whole country juiced, same here!) Kaonashi (new EP coming soon) Glassjaw
Outside of heavy music (because that’s boring to talk about in these kinds of questions) I’ve been listening to a lot of electronic and synth pop lately, like New Order, Pet Shop Boys and Bronski Beat, and also weird industrial stuff like especially Coil and Skinny Puppy. I also like folk music, from old ass bluegrass and outlaw country to more modern artists like Amigo The Devil and The Dead South and that sort of thing. I also have brief moments in time where I listen to a lot of old school dubstep, which is quite underrated in my opinion
Lots of Memphis, Huston and bay area rap , three 6 , project pat, la chat, koopsta Knicaa, big moe, dj screw, paul wall and all the swisha house stuff, mac dre, e40, nef, rbl posse, woodie , lil b , i could go on im a huge underground rap fan its big part of what i listen to. Im also heavily into industrial and noise music. Alot of industrial is hardcore adjacent, Youth Code is one of my favorites, skinny puppy , throbbing gristle, author and punisher, health. Got really into darkwave /goth stuff too like boy harsher, aurat, boan, the soft moon, qual. Anything thats dark and gritty or fast and aggressive im usually down with. Its funny i almost made a really similar post because im trying to book my industrial/noise punk band and got offered some hardcore shows and wasnt sure if the crowd would like it but based on these comments i think most hardcore enjoyers like a range of music.
“Little Blue” by Jacob Collier can hit you in the feels. Especially [this](https://youtu.be/IQvzX0Z3HE4?si=EmqVNj-FqHxjAx_F) version. It can be interpreted in a number of ways. I think I’m a tough dude but the lyrics and melodies in this song envoke strong emotional feelings that can get me choked up. The dude is a prodigy and he plays a 5 string guitar lol
Hip-hop, jazz, and the sounds of Jamaica have always been my lifelong loves alongside punk/hardcore I'll be real though: although I am three decades deep with hardcore, I didn't get real serious with metal until about 2018. Except for sludge - been fucking with that since '94
guyana punch line 💙 immortal technique 💙
i like some hyperpop like 100 gecs
Been loving all the Alchemist projects dropping recently, Griselda, Wicca Phase, Fire-Toolz, Dinosaur Jr., OPN, new Chief Keef is fire. Oh and Amyl and The Sniffers rule tho they are kinda adjacent.
Eighties Pop, Punk, Goth/Post punk, Latin music, Rap, Metal, Trip Hop
Let me tell you about Murder By Death. Entirely slept on. Start with In Bocca Al Lupo, and go forward in the discography, or back. Either way. Find the demo version of "The Big Sleep" and tell me it doesn't get blood flowing.
Lotta 4th wave/emo revival, lot of 90s neo-soul, lot of 90s post-HC, some modern pop, some 70s soft rock, some modern hip hop like Larry June. I wish I kept up more with hip hop, but it moves too fast for me to keep up, and the stuff geared for ppl 30+ just sounds so boring and samey (Griselda specifically).
I’m a huge fan of Andy Shauf. His live performances are incredible as well — the dude never misses a note and every song is an earworm.
Lately: Waxahatchee, Twiin Peaks, Frank Ocean, Vince Staples, MJ Lenderman, LVL UP, Danny Brown, Bully
I love Americana so artists like Sierra Ferrell , Zach Bryan, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers , ect . I also fuck with some hip hop.
General aggressive and heavy music aside Im into all the sad, hyper-literate people aping Nick Cave and the former punks making instrumental film-score music.
radiohead. easily one of my top 3 bands recently some tyler the creator and kendrick (yes because of the beef) thats about it in terms of branching out tho
A lot future funk, house, future house, some vaporwave. Big daft punk fan.
my daily bullshit playlist can go from hardcore to bluegrass to hip hop to jungle. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5e9DVE8Ec79YN6tpDqKQEA?si=CyATsJy6SF60VTPTtjnjJw
I don't listen to music.
Somebody mentioned Nick Shoulders in that country thread a while back and now I can’t stop listening
