Music thread

So good to be confused by young-people music. They’ve got their thing, and we don’t understand it. Result! Everything’s going just fine. The new Ghostemane is total shit, but this from a couple of years ago is great. 274 million viewers can’t be wrong.

Seems he isn’t a total dickhead either, which makes him pretty unique in that world.

Does that have a specific genre attached to it?

It’s hip-hop I guess, though not really. There’s screamo-style vocals, black metal inspired logos, heavy electronics, distorted bass. The lyrics are introspective, emo almost. Sonically it’s closer to rock, but it’s not rock.

I can hear the inspirations in the music, but how do you define it?

Exactly!!

Lol.

Whatever it is it’s better than 100 Gecs

Don’t try and define it man, let people mix and match whatever they want, nothing should be sacred, serve the song.

I know but I need some search terms. I can’t type ‘music that confuses 30 year olds’ into Spotify haha

i liked it.

fucking hell, just done 100 gecs, now that is proper shit.

I quite liked that, but fucking hell that style of animation creeps me out, especially in black and white.

100 Gecs is just Brokencyde but with better marketing.

Actually if Freax was released in 2020 the kids would go mad for it

Yep, you need to step up your taste-making game.

The new stuff is like fucking Nine Inch Nails or some shit.

Dark vapourtrap? What do I know, I listen to Radio 3.

Speaking of disturbing videos, does anyone remember a realty fucked up witch house thing from a few years ago? I think it was Salem but it doesn’t show up on google. It used various weird movies, including Häxan: Witchcraft through the Ages.

Ha, yep. My ‘Top Songs’ are mostly those shuffled up via generic (Triphop / My Daily Mix) playlists.

Up until the Christmas Ads took over, I was getting one for retirement villages on the regs so might need to up my BPMs slightly! :laughing:

I’ll definitely play yours later - and any others that fancy sharing.

Here we go:

Mostly just repeats down all the tracks of a few albums that I must have played a few times each with What’s Up Danger from Spider-Man - Into the Spider-Verse straight in at number 3 thanks to my daughter and Alexa.

Yeah, I only really discovered him this year and I think that’s maybe when I decided to try and pick up the guitar.

Mine is weird as fuck. It’s like 2 albums I listened to and a bunch of other songs I played more than once.

And some disney and the wurzels for my son.

These lists are always interesting, like, I don’t think I’ve listened to Eminem’s last album since it came out but apparently I listened to it enough on initial release for it to really make a dent in my list. Really wish he wasn’t skewing my stats…

Otherwise it’s all the same few artist I always listen to and then a couple of random standalone tracks I must have rinsed (Camper Van Beethoven/The Mars Volta).

Just looked at the end of year list thingy and saw that i’d listened to this a lot at the beginning of the year. It’s so beautiful.

This one too:
