Diversity in your ear holes

Sea shanties just hit different, especially when sung by native speakers.

I dyslexia'd techno-sea shanties and now there's a genre I need in my life Edit if you can imagine it, someone has made it

Gregorian metal

Combine all 4: dungeon synth

The same thing happens when I put my King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard discography on shuffle. Gotta at least sort by album or it's chaos.

Metal and sea shanties with Alestorm

I assume you are familiar with Mongol throat singing, especially delivered in the form of techno)? I also like guys who put traffic cones in their bass saxophone. Death metal with a Banjo anyone? This intrigues me, though I don't speak french.

Can somebody please make a bot that scrapes a comment thread and produces a Spotify Playlist with all song suggestions? Would be amazing for this thread!

Mind if I get a link to some of the stuff you listen to? Always down to try new things. Giggidy

This person drinks from a horn.

Try out Mongolian Metal. They combine metal and throat singing.

Yeah, I just put my whole collection on shuffle and have come to appreciate the simplicity of that.

I use this web music player at home, which only supports shuffle and because it's a web thing, I can't either use keyboard shortcuts to skip songs (without switching to that window).
And I actually like that I can't distract myself with selecting just the right music. Because if I don't distract myself and just get into coding or whatever, I'll quickly stop noticing what precise music is playing.

my favourite "genre" of music is happyish songs about death

examples:

We're All Gonna Die

Memento Mori

When I Die

and also all the songs that give me specifically the same vibe. my friends are often confused

edit: thank you all for the recommendations <3 a lot new songs on my favourite playlist!

Upgrade your friends. But don’t abandon the soundtrack of your life. It's a vital piece of the narrative. 🎧

Yeah I'm into indie hip hop and medieval beekeepers

"I listen to everything" at the same time

When CD burners first became affordable, I made mixes.

150 songs. I had a disk that started with pop, moved to metal, back to easy listening and ended with classical.

What does everyone do? Insert mp3-CD and hit shuffle.

Megadeath: Sweating Bullets -> Grieg In the Hall of the Mountain King -> MJ Smooth Criminal

Man I don't exactly love two out of four of those genres myself, but this thread has a few commenters that seem to want to pretend they're the adults in the room but in reality they're just a bunch of miserable cunts that either hate music or only want to listen to the same fucking popular shit over and over.

Like, popular music is fine to be clear but so is wanting to listen to weirder stuff.

So, like... Sleep Token?

No joke though, this is incredible: https://youtu.be/JJpFTUP6fIo

In my day to day playlist I have mostly brutal metal and jazz, with some '90s British trip-hop, Romanian traditional music & hip hop fusion, a bit of manouche, 2000s alternative and '90s grunge here and there...

That's when I work or work out.

The Diablo or Witcher OSTs are for when I read or do my taxes.

sea shanties and gregorian chants are the fedoras of music genres

I do, adding also Free Jazz and Stockhausen with countriy music in between.

If you dont mind French language songs:

Ok, this is what social media is for. Thanks everyone, so much good stuff in here. Glad I have similarly esoteric tastes..

A great Celtic banger I've recently discovered. Also this one by Rose betts is great!

Seems like people in this thread might appreciate both those.

Mix in some rap, old school country, jazz, and dubstep with that group and you have an exact replica of one of my playlists

Add Mongolian Throat singing and Tibetan chanting to that list.

I think this is what some of my neighbours look like each day when I play something different. One day, Algerian jazz from the 70s. Next day, modern German disco. Next day, psychedelic folk from Brittany (the French peninsula). Next day, synth-wave. Next day, energetic 80s Japanese fusion. Next day, Swedish Lounge Jazz. etc.

No mention of Dwarven metal yet?

Don't forget the occasional anime OP/ED

My playlists get sprinkled with a little Ancient FM: Music of the mediæval and renaissance eras.

tiktokcore

yea relatabke this happens when thwy let me choosd the music, it always ends up at a weird mix of chiptune, power metal, classical, jazz, funk and "using only windows error sounds" among many other things you usually wouldnt find in the playlist such as floppotron videos or "megalovania but every instrument is a metal pipe"

• Irish beer punk + japanese movie soundtracks + 60s hippy pop

FR tho, if you get the aux you need to get the vibe. If anybody but you is enjoying the noise you put through them ears then you kinda failed the job.

(also, I'm not saying I don't like techno, sea shanties, gregorian chants and whatnot...)

From that pic, they're clearly just waiting to hear yub nub

Any chance op can share tjis playlist ?

I want an artist that combines all four of that into an album, even if by techno it might mean "just some form of electronic music, and not necessarily techno".

I fucking love sea shanties. It's ironic because I'm terrified of water.

me irl.
