Oh, please. Tell me how it isn't... Honestly, there is absolutely zero difference between Cannibal Corpse and One Direction.

Linda King said:Look, I mean mainstream in that sense—I don't usually listen to that stuff. My taste is totally different, but it was actually fun revisiting some of those bands I picked up from friends; they’re great for just venting some energy. Same goes for a lot of punk bands (though not all—The Clash is on a whole other level for me, always will be). I'm pretty open to any genre, provided it isn't that Nazi white-power black metal crap coming out of some Norwegian backwoods.

You can find something worthwhile in almost anything if you look hard enough. Lately, I've been diving deep into some solid death metal—it just happens to match my mood perfectly right now. 😁

So, what kind of music do you usually go for?

Personally, I'm a pop fan through and through—doesn't matter if it's pop-rock, synth-pop, or whatever else falls under that umbrella.

Personally, I gravitate toward pop. It doesn't matter if it's pop-rock, synth-pop, or some other subgenre—as long as it hits that pop sensibility, I'm in.

Since we're talking about pop—you really should have been "Pop." Seriously, you would have been a walking pilgrimage; everyone would have lined up just to catch a glimpse of Pop in leggings. Forget Lourdes, that would have been the real destination...🤣

I guess I’m mostly into pop music—it doesn't really matter if it's pop-rock, synth-pop, or just some other flavor of pop, I suppose.

I don't really stick to just one genre, though I might say indie rock, punk, or post-punk are kind of my foundation. But honestly, most of what I listen to... I don't really know how I'd categorize it, and I don't think I feel much of a need to define it either, as long as I'm enjoying it.

Jacob Lopez51 said:You've spent your whole life listening to mainstream garbage. Not a single quality band in your entire rotation. It clearly wasn't for you, so just move on.👍

Look, I just listed a few of them, but honestly? There were damn near endless. It was a hell of a lot more than that.

Some things just never go out of style. You’ve got the heavy hitters like Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd—that kind of taste is permanent. But honestly, you still find yourself spinning other stuff too, like... This is it. I don't even know what genre I’d call this while I'm typing it up, to be honest. But hey, it keeps me relaxed.

Linda King said:I was watching... Lords of Chaos Black metal is just pure negativity and hatred, plain and simple. I can't tell if it actually influences people to be that way or if it just attracts people who are already like that. Probably a bit of both.

I mean, honestly, when you actually sit down and look at some of these lyrics, you can't help but be stunned. It’s wild.

I’d say this is the heaviest stuff I've had on rotation lately.
I’d go with In Flames, Rammstein, Paradise Lost, and uh... Ensiferum. They aren't exactly heavy hitters in terms of pure aggression, but they hit that sweet spot where the melodies actually feel good. 😁

Nowadays, the "vibe" of bands like Led Zeppelin or The Clash definitely still holds up. But I'm actually listening to stuff like this while I'm typing this out. I'm not entirely sure which genre I'd even put it in, but I guess it just helps me relax.

The track in this link is actually really good 👍

Here’s another one if you're looking to unwind:

They're an awesome band, I'd definitely recommend them.

Linda King said:This link you sent is actually solid 👍

Man, I live for this kind of weird music when I need to unwind. It hits the spot. 😁

Nowadays, if I listen to death metal or anything even remotely close to it, my ears start bleeding if it goes on for more than three tracks.

Ever since the pandemic started, I don't think a single day has gone by without this—whether it’s an unplugged set or a studio version.

Great band. Highly recommended.

I'll give it a listen. 😉
