Video Game Music ๐ŸŽฎ๐ŸŽต

[โ€“] svncake 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Same, I have a playlist full of songs from games that I've played like Nier automata and Undertale. Used to think people who liked video game music were cringey until I started playing video games myself and found the songs very catchy

[โ€“] Sheltac 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Nier automata soundtrack is on another level. What a collection of absolute masterpieces.

Weight of the world still brings a tear to my eye.

When I was a pre-teen and teenager, pop-punk and emo were popular.

Turns out I haven't outgrown this genre. I now listen to more music from a variety of different genres and time periods, but ultimately, 80% of my library is still early 2000's pop punk.

[โ€“] Sheltac 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah I though I was gonna outgrow metal.

Boy was I wrong.

Genres are for normies

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still most often listen to Grunge and 90 Hard and Alt rock. According to tidal Pearl Jam is a little more than half of all my song listens every month.

Side note, I think the collective noun for Lemmy users in any music thread should be Motorheads.

Power Metal:
Powerwolf
Gloryhammer
Alestorm
Sabaton
Windrose

Pagan music:
Emerald Rose
Tyr

And then sea shanties, folk music, Irish (rebel and otherwise), labor/protest music, and the occasional bouts of pure randomness.

Right now I cannot get enough of Miracle of Sound. Dude just checks every box there is for me. It's like if every other kind of music I listen to got gene-spliced into one guy.

In no particular order other stuff:
Blackmore's Night
Clamavi de Profundis
Omnia
Faun

I'd say I used to listen to metal, but nowadays, I still listen to metal lol. Huge fan of Progressive Metal/Djent/Thall bands. Not much into Deathcore/Doom Metal lately however.

At work tho, I tend to listen to a lot of instrumental stuff and genres vary greatly: mathrock, jazz, electronic, game/movie OSTs, blues, fusion, and among others.

During drives, mainly depends on the mood, but mostly revolves around the above given genres.

To name a few artists, I usually listen to the below (in random order):

  • Jakub Zytecki
  • Chon
  • Plini
  • Periphery
  • Necrophagist (when r u guys coming back ๐Ÿ˜”)
  • Dirty Loops
  • Up Dharma Down
  • Joji
  • Tycho
  • Sleep Token
  • Lorna Shore
  • Tom Misch

Would love to share some more, but these are what I thought of at the moment.

[โ€“] danc4498 8 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Somehow I missed all the good 2000s emo music, but love it now.

Post rock, synthwave, japanese jazz. I also love hard rock, but don't listen to it too often, because I can't listen to it while I'm working

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Gonna use this post as a chance to give a shout out to Electric Callboy which I recently gave a chance to after they kept popping up in my recommendations, they're some sort of trance metalcore band, and boy do they have fun songs.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

OT, but... How did we get to lemmites and not lemmings?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Here lately I mostly listen to the kind of music that your most insufferable hipster friend would try to recommend you.

The Mountain Goats

The Decemberists

Radical Face

Neutral Milk Hotel

The Shins

Pat the Bunny

Andrew Jackson Jihad

Mal Blum

Daisy the Great

Delicate Steve

Professor Caveman

The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets

[โ€“] GlitterNinja 7 points 1 year ago

This is a bit messy looking, but these are my top five fav โ€œgenresโ€ and my fav โ€œartistsโ€ from each (genres in quotes because half of these arenโ€™t exactly genres. Artists in quotes because one is not the artist but a sound the real artists use).

Kawaii metal: Babymetal and Ladybaby

Anime music: guess Iโ€™ll say Aimer because thatโ€™s probably the one artist with the most anime songs in my playlist (shoutout to Nier games soundtracks because they donโ€™t fit in any of my other fav โ€œgenresโ€)

Vocaloids and utauloids: Flower is my fav vocaloid - love how she sounds, love her designs, and it helps that she was made for j-rock/metal

Vtubers/Hololive performers: Bae is bae

Rock/metal: Avenged Sevenfold and Metallica

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Retrowave // synthwave

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Lots of classic rock. Billy Joel, led zeppelin, etc.

But lately I've been on a classical music kick.

I can't speak for anyone else, but my favorite couple of genres over the past half year or so has definitely been 90s pop music and vocalsynth (vocaloid and other similar products).

I only really started getting into 90s pop because I found a playlist of songs for it on yt and decided to save it because I liked what I heard.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (8 children)

I am mostly listening to melodic death metal.

But since I discovered Lorna Shore, I enjoy more extreme genres as well, and I am getting my feet wet with deathcore.

also love funk like Parliament/Funkadelic and some electronic focused jambands like STS9 & Lotus

I think I'm the only one here who likes mainstream J-pop.

Anybody for Aimer, ReoNa, LiSa, Yorushika, Minami, TK from Ling Tosite Sigure, nZk, Uru, Tielle, Yuuri?

No? I suppose I'm alone in my listening habits. I do like baroque music though

Mainly early 2000s "Whose Line is it Anyway?" hoedowns. My favorite is the one where they make fun of Colin's baldness.

Iโ€™ve kinda got all my eggs in different baskets but mostly I listen to pop punk, alternative, and some classic rock

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mostly it's different subgenres of rock and metal (like 70% of all comments here. Seriously, I've never met so many ppl that listen to my favorite music in one place xD).

I kinda have a few moods. For the "fun and energetic" mood I have hard rock and heavy metal, for the "my job is f*cking me and I don't like it" I have nu metal and some other things that sound angry, for the "fancy" I have a strange mix of P!atD, Franz Ferdinand, some songs that are creepy/sad but sound happy ("I can't decide", "Don't fear the Reaper", "To The Sea") and steampunk/dark cabaret/murder song bands (Voltaire, Coppelius, the Cog is Dead, American Murder Song)

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

rock/metal and most derivatives. for example metallica, ac/dc, iris and others.
