Re: Favorite Music Genres

I ventured far away from techno after FFR went down.
Now I'm more into indie pop/rock.

The Postal Service
Radical Face
Death Cab for Cutie
Electric President
Sufjan Stevens
Angels and Airwaves
cars & trains
Silversun Pickups
Ólafur Arnalds
Iron & Wine <-- seeing them November
Benoit Pioulard
Melpo Mene
Andrew Bird
Bright Eyes
Vitamin String Quartet
Cloud Cult
Vampire Weekend
The Decemberists
Regina Spektor
Manchester Orchestra
Say Anything
Passion Pit
The Bravery
MGMT
Twoo Door Cinema Club

A few of my favorites, listen to the bolded the most.

EDIT - I'll listen to almost anything, really. Popularity is not an object.

Pretty much this as of right now. Mostly because I listen to The Peak 100.5 FM in my car.

Re: Favorite Music Genres

I like some underground Rap such as Immortal Technique.

To be honest, Immortal Technique is not underground at all.


I'll listen to basically anything.

As Hell Retreats
Darius Rucker
Eric Church
inthemidstoflions
a day to remember
Wiz Khalifa
cornandbeans
Kid Cudi
Bane
Have Heart
Verse
Cruel Hand
Flatfoot 56
Suburban Legends
This list could go on, for pages.

Re: Favorite Music Genres

Silence, quiet-time, tranquility, shush.

I'm definitely for calm music too - but I'm not sure how to describe it.

Examples:
- My Chrysalis Highwayman (Fallout) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIP90IV6EqA
- Hell (Terminal 11)
- Redding (Fallout) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nYtFgo44ws

The funny thing is, I play hard songs on stepmania and I'd probably expect to listen to faster stuff but tracks that create a sort of "depressing" atmosphere actually can help me concentrate more and are very nice to listen to.

Re: Favorite Music Genres

Am I the only person that hates dubstep here?

Nope but we're a rare breed.

I just can't really get into it either. I do like 8-bit though.

[DossarLX ODI]

Re: Favorite Music Genres

I honestly can't get into anything without getting bored of it real quick (energetic to the point where it just becomes bland and repetitive, etc) - except for what I mentioned. The ambient atmosphere generated by the tracks I listen to are a great experience and are the best tracks I've ever listened to.

I think dubstep is overrated.

Re: Favorite Music Genres

I guess I have a massive appreciation for Music, some people are just so close minded and won't even try different types because of the stereotypical kids that are part of the label that goes along with the music.

Re: Favorite Music Genres

Yeah like "dude Soulja Boy is so awesome my friends like his songs".

What happened when I actually did give genres a chance:

Hip hop/rap = Fail
Dubstep = Fail
Metal = Boring
Rock = Boring
Techno = Boring
IDM = Interesting
Pop = Fail
Guitar solos = Boring real fast
Classical = Boring
Country = Boring
Breakcore = Fail, boring
Rave = Fail
Speedcore = Boring
J-core/J-pop/whatever = Fail
DnB = Boring
Ambient = Perfect

Re: Favorite Music Genres

like nature sounds ambient?
"Be right back, downloading my Ocean Sounds CD for my road trip."
So ambient being, slow, calming, smooth?

Re: Favorite Music Genres

Eh, not really. I'm not sure how to describe it. More like enigmatic/depressed type calm.

Examples:
- My Chrysalis Highwayman (Fallout) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIP90IV6EqA
- Hell (Terminal 11)
- Redding (Fallout) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nYtFgo44ws
- Other Fallout tracks
