Bands suggestions too, curious what folks are into!

I like Japanese City Pop.
There’s a City Pop community here on Lemmy you can join!
Do you have a link? I could only find the lemmit.online one but that one just crossposts from Reddit.
Thanks! It took a while for it to sync with my instance but I can subscribe now.
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.
I like the idea of melodic death metal, got any suggestions?

Lines by Long Distance Calling. The chorus is the best.
Okay. My apologies.
Would this work?

Maybe wait 1:15 in.
First off, I’m not the arbiter of what does and doesn’t belong to a certain genre. That’s, to a certain extent, subjective and people don’t always agree. However, there usually is at least some consensus in the community, otherwise the genre names would be useless.
That said, I personally wouldn’t call this melodic death metal either. Most of the song is just clean singing and clean guitars, both of which are sometimes used in melodeath, but they’re not a defining aspect of it. And even the parts with harsh vocals and distorted guitars are missing the riffs that are typical for the genre. It’s closer to a progressive death metal or groove metal sound similar to Gojira or Opeth.
Overall Jinjer are also definitely not a melodeath band, they’re metalcore, which is often seen as a subgenre of hardcore, not metal, although there are bands that are more on the metal side.
As I said, I’m not the genre police, this is just my opinion. But I think (sub)genre definitions are useful when talking about music and if we start using them too loosely, they lose their meaning and as a result, their utility.
Hey thanks for that. I think melodic death metal is starting to become clear to me.
Very good question!
I have a list of the metal I like, here is a link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RDxj-OVYBeCz5UHfhQDFgvh1Oe4FmKNgkHlYeTzqTK8/edit#gid=0From there, my pick would be:
- Aephenemer
- Aether Realm (quite progressive, very unique)
- Kalmah (basically all is good in it)
- Nothgard (OMG, they are so good!)
Yeah I though I was gonna outgrow metal.
Boy was I wrong.
I graduated to progressive metal at some point, and I don’t think I’ll leave any time soon.
That’s where I started and ended up staying alllll of these years 😁
Hey, you may like us over at !popheads@poptalk.scrubbles.tech
That community looks like it has literally nothing to do with emo or pop-punk
The soundtracks for almost any of the Guilty Gear games are just pure energy and fun and I totally recommend them
Ori and the blind forest, a hat in time, deltarune. It’s amazing how good videogame soundtrack can get!
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
You hear the album Determination by Ace Waters and RichardBB? Metal undertale covers.
Yes! I also really like his Bad Apple version. I actually like it more than the orig imo
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.
To me, it’s both Weight of the world and Song of the Ancients that makes me teary eyed.

The Stardew Valley music is where it’s at
man of culture, plus lofi - it’s safe to say i dislike songs with lyrics 😂
Kobaryo Speedcore
The band Sleep Token has been a majority of my played music for over a month now, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. I mostly listen to stuff like Metalcore, Deathcore, Djent, Nu Metal, Prog, Instrumental, I love metal covers of pop songs. Also like hard dance, dubstep, DnB, some pop, some rap, most anything as long as it isn’t tasteless.
Sleep Token. Discovered it recently too. Man that guy can SING! Love it. Chokehold is great.
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.
I used to hate grunge and especially Pearl Jam as a kid, but the genre’s grown on me a lot the last couple years
Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Sonic Youth, Pixies, Neil Young, Beck, Prince
Have you listened to Lord Huron? They are a modern band playing a traditional rock style, and they have a deep love for Neil Young
This is their most popular album, I think:
Oh wow, excellent; thanks!
The Beta Band, Vulfpeck, Khruangbin, Holy Hive, Tame Impala, Hippo Campus, STRFKR, Greta Van Fleet

Mostly extreme metal, moreso since going back to college, but I also like post-rock, shoegaze, and classical amongst other things. Try this out for size.
I oscillate between 3 moods. For the longest time I exclusively listened to metal and rock, System of a Down being my all time favorite. Also Primus, Korn, Rammstein, Suicidal Tendencies, ICP, and La Dispute (not exactly metal/rock but fits in with all my angry music that keeps me happy lol).
My other mood, when I’m struggling with my mental health, is Pink Floyd. All the Pink Floyd, all day long, listen to the same album on repeat for 3 weeks straight Pink Floyd. My current favorite album is The Final Cut. It haunts me in an amazing way.
Recently I’ve been on an alt/electro pop kick. Ashnikko is my favorite and I can’t wait to see her on tour later this year. Also Kim Petras, Medusa, Poppy (kinda scratches that metal itch too), Royal & the Serpent, YONAKA, SUUNS, and IC3PEAK (ALSO kinda scratches the metal itch).
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
I’d like to be. Got any recommendations?
The artists I mentioned in my comment are whom I have listened to recently
