To me “Chappell Roan looks cool but I wish she made weirder music” sentiments seem odd, like they come from a place of embarrassment for thinking that a pop artist can put together a cool outfit.

You know me talking about being amused that psytrance is like the opposite genre to musical theater?

(Minimal to no lyrical content vs. lyrics being the backbone of the entire genre. Atmospheric instrumental heavy vs. vocals heavy. Lots of synthesized instruments and sample usage vs. acoustic/analog/live arrangements. And so on...)

What if music producer / DJ!Thomas AU? I just- imagine everyone dressed up in aesthetic of different electronica scenes.

Partial to the twins doing [psy]trance scene stuff - but Remus doing stuff more in the dark psy arena~

tumblr users consistently have some of the most baffling takes on music

I literally planned to make a similar post to this today, after listening to my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify for the week. I LOVE (good) darkwave in its current iteration, but there is A LOT of really bad or just mediocre darkwave coming out nowadays. Sadly Spotify can't tell the difference between the quality stuff and the soulless, generic stuff. In a given week I might like one or two songs Spotify recommends to me, out of 30 or however many.

So basically my Discover Weekly is like, "What if you wanted to listen to an hour and 45 minutes of the worst darkwave released in the last decade?" and I'm tired of it, haha.

Also I do really like other genres??? I listen to loads of electronic genres -- EBM and other kinds of synthpop and vaporwave and rave music and trip hop and dark ambient, etc. -- and I rarely if ever get any of that. I think maybe the darkwave market is just oversaturated and so the algorithm goes for the path of least resistance or something.

That said, my new releases playlist tends to be slightly more diverse and good-quality because it's focused on bands I already listen to. But still. Give me a BREAK.

That's it. I'm sick of algorithms recommending me music I always at best go "meh" at, but usually nearly hate.

Tbh I don't even like the recs from most fellow goths right now because everyone's obsessed with the She Past Away style of Darkwave that's become inescapable and its 984784764 clones (derogatory, about to commit crimes about it).

From now on, I'm exclusively discovering new music from users on Last.fm whose compatibility with me ranks as "super". No one else has decent taste.

i’m admittedly obsessed with music/have music as a special interest so this question has been on my mind for quite some time now - if Bill (from your goldilocks fanfic) were to listen to any music, or have any particular music taste, what would it be? Any particular songs in mind that he likes? ( <—totally not looking for more/new songs to listen to hahahahaha…sweats)

half of me thinks he’d like 40s/50’s/60’s music (thanks to the vera lynn reference in the fic, but also bc he sings it in-show), but the other half of me wants him to like musicals (heathers, in particular) - i can’t explain why lol

alternatively, if you’ve answered smth like this already, i’d love to know what songs you enjoy/listen to!

Have a post about his tastes and a hideous-sounding playlist! And it even held up in the face of TBOB.

The only difference in my headcanons is that I said the peak of his his tastes centers on the 60s and I subsequently found an interview where Alex confirms Bill's tastes do indeed range from about 40s~60s; but I just got out of another fandom where everyone headcanoned a character is into 40s music ranging into the 50s and I'm pretty burnt out on The Most Popular 40s Jazz That Everybody And Their Grandma Knows so I still personally prefer to focus on the 50s for him lmao.

In fic he makes a reference to a band called Mysterious Mo's Average Joes; I imagine them as an in universe equivalent to Question Mark & the Mysterians, except more obscure.

Specific to my headcanoned music tastes of Bill from my fic rather than just Bill in general: coming in his tastes are all the same, but hanging around Mabel has given him an expanded palate for boy band music and kids music, although on the boy band front he prefers dance-y songs over ballad-y songs and on the kids music front he has to steer through a minefield of cheaply-produced 80s cartoons that use synthesized music to save cost on an orchestra.

So far, nothing else has happened to change his tastes.

Although eventually Robbie's introducing him to emo.

I listen to too much music for the question "what songs do you listen to," it's like asking "what words do you use" lmao, lemme look at my recent activity. Lately I've been getting into She Hates Emotion and the new albums by Zeal & Ardor and Fleshgod Apocalypse; I've been slacking in my metal education on learning the difference between black metal and death metal (I usually focus on symphonic metal & neighboring genres) so I'm looping back to the basics to learn more there; big fan of Saltatio Mortis's new album; I've been listening to the deeper cuts & newer material of mainstream early 00s alt rock & nu metal bands (Shinedown, Stone Sour, Staind) to see what I've been missing out on beyond their radio hits; and in general the past few months I've been trawling through playlists of classic 80s goth, dark wave, synth pop, & aggrotech to expand my library there. Very excited for the new Linkin Park lineup, love their new vocalist so far and it's heartening to see them releasing new material. Not so excited by the new Nightwish album, it has the nightwish sound but not the spark. This isn't even an accurate representation of my full musical tastes, I've just been really into metal recently. Current favorite bands of the last few years are Alt-J and Ghost. I listed some of my favorite albums on this post. It's too bad you can't just link your Spotify liked songs without sticking them all in a separate playlist—oh hold on I have a songs I can sing playlist, it's perpetually incomplete on top of being 3-4 years out of date but it's a starting point.

guy who’s listened to industrial for 1 month: i like nine inch nails

guy who’s listened to industrial for 1 year: my favorite industrial band is only industrial when in a broad genre statement; they’re a japanese experimental aggrotech/deathrock group from hamamatsu and they only released one album in 2003 before their lead vox/keys unsuccessfully attempted to perform a trepanation on himself and died it’s a crazy story haha. yeah no the only way you can listen to most of their tracks is through compressed cassette rips on YouTube. their guitarist uploaded some of their demos on soundcloud in 09 though!
