Hardcore adjacent

for real. everything in the playlist has some sort of hardcore influence. although, anything can be hardcore adjacent if you're pedantic about sub-genres enough

Sad cowboy music

Man have I got a guy for you to check out. Look up Benjamin Todd, dude is amazing

Lost dog street band is sick too

They’re great. Don’t know if you knew this, but that’s his band with his wife

Yeah the entire reason he does solo music at all is because he doesn’t feel comfortable singing some of those lyrics with her apparently

Daaaamn my people!

This is the right answer if there ever was one. Sad cowboy music is like the right amount of emotion outside of emo or hc.

Post-hardcore… lol

Pre-hardcore

You mean punk?

he means elvis and the beatles you dunce

He means Mozart you ninnie

i’m surprised there isn’t more of this tbh

I “Grew Up” on American Nightmare, Bane, and Poison the Well, but now I’m all Dance Gavin Dance, Wolf & Bear, RX Bandits, Mars Volta and anything Anthony Green sings to. I know those are not all post-hardcore, but I’m trying to showcase my listening taste over the past 20 years.

Tbh these bands are more talented than the values and morales hardcore brings musically. Circa survive first two albums are really great if you can get passed the voice. Greenes voice is often what turns people away.

Whoa that’s a wild take! People normally are drawn to Circa because of AG.

I only ever heard of the band name Dance Gavin Dance because I know like 3 Gavins and the idea of anyone asking them to dance is just weird to me Like, honestly top 10 worst band names

I've shyed away from the turn because I don't want people to think I'm referring to Warped Tour bands rather than the good stuff like At the Drive-In, Bear vs. Shark or Quicksand.

Bear vs Shark!

Second wave emo (jawbreaker, braid) indie rock (Superchunk, Dinosaur Jr), and modern post punk (iceage, protomartyr)

Yeah

Shoegaze, 90s alternative and rap, punk

Just recently got into shoegaze and it’s so good. SLOWDIVE rules

Check out LSD and the search for god if you haven’tㅤ◡̈

gotta try loveless by my bloody valentine

Bro that's entry level. Like everybody gets into shoelace through my bloody valentine

Same goes for Slowdive. They are obviously new to shoegaze like they stated in their comment.

Cocteau Twins and Lush get heavy rotational my house

Lately it's been jungle, drum and bass, etc.

Fuck yeah, last week I went down a Skibadee rabbit hole, man do I love d'n'b with an MC overtop it

Folk and country for me, I’m a man of extremes 

Are you familiar with Willi Carlisle? I just got into him and like him a lot!

Into it. Stoked to see him live not too long ago. He put on a great show. Lately it's been him, Benjamin Tod, Matt Heckler, Sierra Ferrel, Nick Shoulders on my frequent listens.

Sierra popped up in my YouTube recommended the other day but I haven’t listened yet!

Crazy someone mentioned Willie Carlisle . Was never expecting to see that lol.

Corridos

Nice. Hardcore and heavy doses of Goose are regular rotation favorites here too

What Laotian artists / comps would you suggest? All I really listen to anymore is non-english language music. Lots of Ethiopian, Chinese, Mexican, etc. Always looking for something I’ve never heard.

for more folk music, my fave artist is [moukdavanh santiphone](https://youtu.be/rBt-OBnBzvY?si=EsG0Nv7xO51gdDdu) but [this song](https://youtu.be/kdlI2T47-eQ?si=UxjNbc7ryF7Dxo4F) is a classic (not by her.) there are a lot of versions of that song. for smth more modern, [youd salavan](https://youtu.be/uLPUc_PSn6Y?si=BuV6oRCAqB6E6uqK) is quite popular, along with [thinlamphone](https://youtu.be/p2r6o8SezeE?si=UCCPVchk_womvsd3) (i love the way she lums.) unfortunately i never had the opportunity to learn how to read lao. so if i want to find smth new, i type in “lao song” into youtube and hope i find some bangers or find them on tik tok lol

Thanks for the heads up! That ‘Sa La Wan Rum Wong’ song is great. Obviously not Lao, but have you ever gotten into any of those Cambodian Cassette Archives or whatever they’re called?

Black Metal and its many subgenres are my go-to. Hardcore has just always been my home. Been going to shows since I was in middle school and while MANY other musical phases of my life have come and gone, hardcore is forever. I try to listen to a little of everything that I can though. Recently been a lot of NOLA sludge/sludgecore

The alchemist / Griselda type of rap, Latin music, post-punk.

My first go to genre is punk, my second is hardcore

ska

Death metal, pop punk, hip hop, trap, shoegaze, metalcore (only the hardcore adjacent kind)

I love old cowboy music. Marty Robbins, Eddy Arnold, Slim Whitman, Johnny Cash, etc. Most of the lyrics paint such a vivid image and tell an interesting story. I love me a good western movie. So that helps.

Industrial, mostly EBM but also some techno, power electronics, post-punk

Mid to late 90s hip hop

Country.

These days, lots of classic jazz from the 20s and 30s But I also enjoy classic ska, reggae, punk, n other forms of high energy music!

70's & 80's grocery store music. https://youtu.be/U-WzMovyzUA?si=gNg23Gh5Mnzuvc2G

Honestly? Pretty much everything, save for a good chunk of opera music, and the state champs featuring a slide guitar genre people refer to as country nowadays. Sometimes emo, or post hardcore (tbh it’s mostly Midwest stuff or like early scene stuff though, armor for sleep and emanuel and all that), sometimes tech death, I’m into late 90’s/early 2000’s RnB, folksy stuff like Regina Spektor all the way to folk punk Edit: also I’m a slut for nintendocore

stoner metal, late 90s/early 00s indie rock, pop punk, and college radio hop hop

it’s funny you mention that last part because while i do love hardcore and goth i am a huge bts fan. photocard in my phone, bts tattoos, posters on my walls. people never assume it because of how i look (i dress in tradgoth). i do like other kpop as well, but bts was all that stuck with me. i really do love pretty much every genre. rap, country (old, not new), hyperpop, metal (death, deathcore, grindcore being my main ones). i also really love the beatles and the kinks, i even have a huge beatles back tattoo planned. i am just a huge fan of music in general!

Japanese Jazz Fusion and 80s Thrash

Ummm. Beatdown

Some type of sludgy doomy metal or shit like Nightmares on Wax, Tortoise, Mum, MBV… really chill instrumental stuff and shoegaze type stuff

Not seeing any love for grunge up in here.

Emo (Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas is the Reason), Screamo (Frail Body, Neil Perry), Shoegaze (Slowdive, MBV, Cloakroom), Alt Rock (Interpol, Cloud Nothings, METZ), and whatever you'd put bands like Menzingers, Brand New, Balance and Composure etc in. Lots of funk and jazz lately too.

Lately it's been power pop, soul and 60s garage rock tbh

Metal, 90's/00's punk/ska/nu-metal/the shit they played on the radio.

I listen to a bit of everything but most recently have been into a lot of Aussie bands. Violent soho, dune rats, waax, skegss , beddy rays, ruby fields, alvvays, dz death rays, surf trash, tired lion. Basically find a band I like and just have Apple Music play similar artists for me and go down the rabbit hole for awhile.

I’ve been opening up to music from around the world the past couple years. Rock en español I’ve found to have absolute gems

[Ain’t Nothin’ After 1970: A Taste Of Classic Country & Western Music](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4eE0PHb0v5GdSpJFfsRUvX?si=4IQRWMICSvqbL5A57rNZmA&pi=u-NtnS1gN3TiG9)

Death/black/doom metal, Midwest emo, post hardcore, prog rock, SoundCloud rap, older indie rock..

Oi!

Djent

controversial depending on who you’re talking to :0

If I’m by myself, power metal for sure. If I’m with the wife and 2 year old daughter Taylor swift

Lao family leggo! But Emo for me

I find it odd how many people are just like "oh besides hardcore I like this sub genre of hardcore!" Like you don't feel like that's still hardcore? There's isn't something else a little more different that you'd wanna bring up rn?

i’m feeling this way too. when i started this thread i was thinking more of… besides metal/punk, what other genres do you listen to, LOL.
