Music Galore (˃ꇴ˂)

In my last post, I had gone on a little rambling of my favorite artists and songs from them. I decided to expand on that section furthermore by dedicating this post to songs and artists I recommend. I will preface this before moving on, my music taste it diverse. A little bit of everything mixed into a pot. So, I don’t believe that all of my recommendations will land well with everyone. Most of my recommendations within this post are within the rowdy realm like metal, screamo, etc ( •̯́ ₃ •̯̀)

Without a further ado, here we go ٩(˶´༥`˶)و

About a year ago, I had dabbled into punk music. Most specifically, d-beat, it’s a music genre that has inspired Crust Punk. For a little bit of background, Crust Punk is a fusion genre between extreme metal and anarcho-punk. Songs within this specific genre contains lyrics of real-life problems and the vocalist’s stance on it.  All discussion within songs is primarily anti-capitalism, environmentalism, anarchism, etc. There have also been other discussions like feminism, veganism, and animal rights sung within this genre. D-beat takes its name from a band named Discharge (D-beat means Discharge-beat) I’ll link some songs that fit under this genre.

• Drunk with power – Discharge
• Police Bastard (covered by Pesti!) – Doom
• My Meds Aren’t Working – Dystopia

 

I also recommend ‘Number One Hypocrite’ by Dystopia (✧∇✧)

Indie holds a piece of my heart (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈) The artist I’ll say I listen to the most within this genre is Alex G or Big Thief, but I also listen to Black Box Recorder a whole lot too. Indie music, also known as independent music, is characterized by creative freedom and a DIY mentality to it. This makes a varying about of musical approaches, lyrics, how they’re sung, the instruments, etc. Here’s my recommendations (✧0✧) Each artist has their own section with songs I’ve selected. I’ll underline the ones I’d recommend the most. 

• Black Box Recorder – Kidnapping an Heiress, The Art of Driving, Child Psychology
• Mitski – Cop Car, Drunk Walk Home (Live version), Last words of a shooting star
• Alex G – Hope, I’m not like the other girls (unreleased), Forever
• Big Thief – Paul, Not (live), Vampire Empire (Demo)

 

In my previous blog, I discussed a lot of metal. So, I’ve decided to talk about it furthermore. 

My love for metal has been a thing since I was young. Skillet was my first exposure to it when I was 7 years old. It died down, but then in 2023 a friend introduced me to Deftones. Deftones had made me love metal more than I can ever state. I have a collection of merch like shirts and CDs ( ˊᵕˋ )♡ I own almost all albums, but I still have another eight albums to get. I also own some Korn and System of a Down albums along with a Skillet and an Evanescence album. I haven’t been to any concert yet, but I hope to go to one soon.

• Scream of The Butterfly – Acid Bath
• Duct Taped to a Flagpole – Party Cannon
• Tavern – Netherwalker
• Misanthropy – Decalius
• Absurdism – Glistening
• I’m Sorry – I will always remember
• Siege Tower – Curta’n Wall
• Rabid – Mortician
• Mascara – Deftones 

 

I feel like a cornball for liking Screamo, but this genre is so good please trust me ( °ㅁ°) There have been some Screamo songs that have gotten popular, but only for a certain part. It does mess with me a little because there are songs that are genuinely the best songs ever (੭ ;´ ⌂ `;)੭

• Metamorphosis – Your Arms Are My Cocoon
• let’s get married – Your Arms Are My Cocoon
• To Remember – septemberistheonlytimeidontthinkofyou
• Everybody tells me nothing – beforeyouleave
• San Francisco – IHS
• i experienced ego death on an nde thread – foxtails
• embers – Dead Butterflies
• When We Turn To Dust – noragami
• 好きです – that same street 

 

I love sharing my favorite genres and specific songs within these genres ₍₍⚞(˶>ᗜ<˶)⚟⁾⁾ I hope maybe I’ve added a few songs to your playlist or made you a fan of some of these artists. What do you think of some of these tracks? Do you recommend any songs for me to take a listen to ( •̯́ ^ •̯̀) I’d love to hear what you have to say!
