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
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.
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
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 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.
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 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.
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
Mostly music with heavy bass like Rap, specifically southern Trap. Then probably Techno of the darker rave variety, House, Reggaeton, Afrobeats, Amapiano, Gqom. I also like cool Jazz, Classical, ambient.
Southern Trap >>>>> all others
Seeing the Latin and Afro and Arab leak into the soundscape is always awesome
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)
City pop
