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

    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!

    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.

    I like a little bit of everything. But my favorites are rock, metal, rapcore, grunge, techno-ish stuff, bubblegum pop, sovietwave music, mallsoft.

  • 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 enjoy most genres but I am in a bluegrass phase : Chinese bluegrass

    I listen to a wide variety, but my favorite has got to be nu-metal.

    Progressive rock is pretty much all I listen to

    I mostly listen to progressive rock, but I also love jazz and funk (which is unsurprising, as a bassist)

  • source

    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.

    Melodic dubstep

    And it feels impossible to find any people that share my interest in the genre

    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)

    I'm currently in a 80s punk (new wave) phase, with songs from Billy Idol, Depeche Mode, a flock of seagulls, etc...

    Heavy metal, goth, rock and turbo-folk

    I don't have one specific favourite genre, but my greatest loves have always been amongst post-rock, emo, alternative, and hardcore.

    I really like ska and skapunk, and am open to recommendations of bands to check out, specially ones with strong political stances (leftist ones it goes without saying)

    By skapunk to do you mean stuff like this?

    Pretty much but I'm more partial to things like this one or this among others like streetlight manifesto, inner terrestrials (specially the tales of terror album) and the album this machine from the JB conspiracy is quite good as well, if you want more recommendations just ask

    Oh and by the way you'll probably like(if you don't know it already) the band jer and the channel of the frontman: skatune network, the guy raises the banner (literally) of ska against transphobia

    90% of what I listen to is rap/hip hop, usually 2010s-2020s, some ignorant some art some conscious. I love 00s-10s pop, a little bit of metal/metalcore, blues, EDM/dubstep/house, modern classical/OSTs, jazz, alt rock, industrial, traditional music of foreign cultures, reggaeton, hyperpop, trapmetal, R&B, lofi beats, I love beats in general a lot. I also went through a big Nordic spirituality phase; I want to get into Arab minaret modern fusion stuff sometime.

    People have a very varied taste here which, to me, is yet another sign that MLism is the place to be. I love how different everyone here is. Sharing only a love for what is right and decent.

    Atm big on experimental music, electro acoustic improv, onkyokei (somewhat a historically specific term but just this aesthetic generally). At other times I like various electronic and dance musics, classic jungle, UK garage, breakcore (both classic and sewerslvt core), free jazz, yeah. Fair bit

    I think I've hit middle age because the only thing I listen to these days is Rush.

    I really like most forms of jazz, even the weird experimental/improvised stuff. Technically not a genre but I also really like listening to the entire soundtrack of indie games front to back. Since they're composed specifically to loop and not distract too much, they make for great idle tunes.

    I always had a difficulty to choose those things. Favorite genre of music, favorite movie, favorite artists...

    I like music. That's it. I'd listen to and learn to like mostly anything. The secret is trying to understand each musical tradition's language, values, aesthetic aims and how they achieve them. If you do, you end up liking it.
