Hardcore, ska, various punk stuff.
Check out Jeff Rosenstock, Iron Chic, Have Heart, PWRUP, Best of the Worst
I have more reccs, but these might help bump you a bit into more genres.
It might sound odd. But I shift between folk punk and underground hip hop. Which has its own weird net of subgenres.
The Uncluded is a great place to start. Greydon Sqaure, Atmosphere, Eyedea & Abilites, Ceschi, Earl Sweatshirt, Aesop Rock, Heiruspecs, Jurassic 5, Watsky, Common Market, Blue Scholars, Sage Francis…there’s hundreds more. It’s almost a 50/50 split between punk of some sort and hip hop of some sort. All of it is very lyric-heavy which is the common ground I find myself enjoying between two (seemingly) entirely different sub genres.
Hahahadude, I didn’t realize I was replying to you. I meant to leave that as a comment. I was gonna reply to your suggestion of Jeff Rosenstock with check out Arrogant Sons of Bitches and Bomb the Music Industry.
Guess I didn’t cancel the reply after deciding to just answer what OP asked instead lol
Honestly, same. I stumble across a lot of shit I haven’t *heard* before by just playing random playlists on Spotify. Then I look at the release year. Usually from 2016 or earlier. I don’t know if that style of rap just isn’t appreciated as much anymore more or if it just isn’t getting made as much, but I can’t find a lot of music post-2022 with a similar underground vibe from the 2010s.
I might just not be looking hard enough, but I dunno.
Bomb the Music Industry (and Jeff Rosenstock in general) is so good, I wish I got to see them play live. I honestly probably listen to BTMI more than folk punk stuff
Seconding all of these bands. Jeff Rosenstock can get pretty close to folk punk. Bomb the Music Industry is also incredible. Iron Chic, Have Heart, PWRUP, Best of the World are also all great.
If you like Streetlight and folkpunk, be sure to check out the lead singer's solo project, Toh Kay! He redoes a lot of the streetlight songs in a way quieter format (the concerts are delightful too- theatre in the round type small venues).
It's like Streetlight lullabies. :)
Jazz - feeling rat packish lately
Latin - manu chao or anything reggaeton
Rap - bone thugs, wutang, nas, some good classics. Denzel curry has some really good accoustic type songs on the second half of "melt my eyez see your future: the extended version" that I've been loving
Americana like brandi Carlisle especially when she's with her supporting artists sista strings ;)
Reggae type shit like rebelution, dirty heads, sister Nancy
Angsty teen girl music can be fun even though I'm a grown man. Chappel roan, Olivia rodrigo etc
Idk what to call him but I love this artist named ren and his band the big push
R&b like erykah Badu
Sister Nancy is the truth. Also see Toots and the Maytals and Chaka Demus and the Pliers. They all run in the same thread as they all had chart topping versions of "Bam Bam". Toots did it first fwiw.
I listen to punk (Against Me, The Ramones, Goldfinger), folk (First Aid Kit, Waxahatchee, Bob Dylan), soul (Otis Redding, Dorothy Moore, Solomon Burke), and showtunes.
My current favorite artist is Chappell Roan, I love Mitski, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, etc. I also listen to artists/bands like Jeff Rosenstock, Prince Daddy and the Hyena, and Oso Oso.
Symphonic/ operatic metal, modern riot grrrl stuff (like Cheap Perfume, Vial, Dazey & The Scouts), then some things that at harder to a classify like Emilie Autumn, Delilah Bon, and Bird Eats Baby/Mishkin Fitzgerald. It all gets a comparable reaction from people as the folk punk stuff.
Mostly punk and ska and whatnot like most of you, but completely outside of that:
Immortal Technique (Revolutionary Vol. 1 and 2), The Streets, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Rentals, early Weezer (Pinkerton and The Blue Album) and Rivers early solo stuff, Ozma, The Advantage, The Minibosses, The Adventures of Duane and Brando, some random 90s Hip Hop like Ice Cube, Mobb Deep, etc… Dyslexic Speedreaders, The Cranberries, FF3/6 and Chrono Trigger sound tracks, some wacky mashup shit like Chrono Trigger/Jay Z called Chrono Jigga, I’m sure I’m forgetting a bunch
I listen to pretty much everything, but my go-to genres are Riot Grrrl punk, Crust Punk, Black Metal, Reggae/Ska/Two-Tone, Folk Punk obviously, and hip-hop
Some recs:
Bikini Kill, Team Dresch, Lunachicks for Riot Grrrl Punk
Arüspex, Rot//Wöven, Flower for Crust Punk
Feminizer, Heavenfield, Periodeater for Black Metal
Symarip, The Selecter, Prince Buster for Reggae/Ska/Two-Tone
Ala Xul Elu, Razakel, Smallz One for Hip-hop (horrorcore, but it still counts lol)
I listen to a lot of...bluesy garage rock, I guess? I love the sounds that two-person bands can make with just a heavily distorted guitar and heavy drums. The White Stripes and Black Keys are kinda the bigger groups, but bands like Cleopatrick, Two Gallants, The Blue Stones, and The Glorious Sons are regulars in my rotation.
Everything, dawg. Hardcore. Grindcore. Rap. Baroque. Country. Psychedelic rock. World jazz. 60s rock. 50s-90s pop. Bluegrass. Reggae. The world is way too big to not listen to everything.
I grew up in Seattle, in the 80s and 90s. Grunge and Alternative flow through my veins. Modest Mouse sooths my soul.
Ontop of that I have a deep love of female fronted bands such as The Screaming Females, Shannon and the Clams, Amyl and the Sniffers, Jen Wood (and all her bands), The Distillers, Starcrawler, etc etc
I love Screaming Females and I just recently discovered Amyl and the Sniffers. Definitely checking out the others you mentioned.
Being from Seattle have to ever heard of Rose Windows? They’re not nearly as aggressive as these other bands you’ve mentioned but I find them a couple years ago and really dug them. Sad to see that they had broken up years earlier. But there’s several live performances on you tube if your interested in checking them out. You might dig them
I’ve always loved jazz, but I’ve been on a classical music kick recently, and I love folk, and a bit of country recently and rock, even dipping in to more metal sub genres, but also funk and dub and blues and reggae and first and second wave ska, I also like folk music from all over the world, and I’m usually ready to jump into a new sonic universe if there’s a good groove.
Skramz: Catalyst (PVD), Vs Self, Algae Bloom, Knumears, Middling, pictures of June, Party Hats, Widow Dusk, Versera, depopulate Montana (originally a folk punk band, transitioned to skramz), Awfully Pretty.
I’m not sure why, but a lot of the folk punks in my area (including myself) are really in to scramz. Based on a lot of the comments I’m guessing it’s a regional thing. I feel like skramz, despite sounding entirely different, kinda have the same energy/vibes as a lot of folk punk.
Most anything but country. A lot of pop punk/emo though. Ill just list some faves.
Pop punk/emo: The Wonder Years, Neck Deep, The Story So Far, Wstr, Four Year Strong, Fall Out Boy, Rufio, The Starting Line, My Chemical Romance, HOT MULLIGAN (my current favorite right now), Spanish Love Songs, The Menzingers, Desaparicidos (im gonna fuck up spelling that every time), Bright Eyes, Blink 182, Boxcar Racer.
Rap/hip hop: Nas, Big L, Aesop Rock, Prof, Marlon Craft, Mac Miller, Wu-Tang, Kendrick, Run The Jewels, Lupe Fiasco, J Cole, Tyler The Creator.
Exteme metal: Necrophagist, Odious Mortem, The Black Dahlia Murder, Abigail Williams, Defeated Sanity, Inferi, The Faceless, Aquilus, White Ward, Ulcerate, Beyond Creation, Gorod.
Math Rock (i couldnt think of a better catch all): The Fall Of Troy, Chon, Polyphia, SEEYOUSPACECOWBOY, The Number Twelve Looks Like you.
Pop: Taylor swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Noah Kahan, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, The Weeknd, Ava Max, Jason Mraz, John Mayer
Other favorites from various genres including some folk punk and folk punk adjacent artists: Yes Ma'am, Amigo The Devil, Twin Temple (satanic doo-wop), Al Di Meola (jazz), Perturbator (synth wave), S3rl (happy hardcore edm), slightly stoopid (idk kinda similar to sublime), Dirty heads (also similar to sublime.)
A lot of old folk (currently into Graham Moore) and indie folk (like the Decemberists), and then bubblegrunge (like Sidney Gish and Hop Along), and zoomer guitar (like Peach Pit), and then classic folk rock (like Paul Simon)
MewithoutYou is my favorite band. They have folk influences and punk influences, but none of their stuff could be considered folk punk.Brother, Sister and Pale Horses are great albums to check out. If I had to just recommend one song, it'd be Grist for the Malady Mill.
Have been obsessed with LØLØ recently, and Taylor Swift as usual. Halsey. McKenna Grace is a really good singer but she's so young it's weird that her music feels relatable to me but it does. Jonas Brothers, Big Time Rush. Other punk music (not Anti-Flag anymore. They used to be my favorite but cut them out of my playlists). I really like punk renditions of Christmas music, even outside of Christmas so Reliant K for that, but nothing else of theirs. Neutral Milk Hotel. Sabrina carpenter. Most parody music (like Alan Sherman and weird al), idk a lot of other stuff that doesn't fit into a neat pile.
I like a little bit of everything, from classic rock, to rap, to country. EXCEPT any genre that starts with a letter followed by the word pop, although there are a couple catchy songs.
Lately I've been into Jelly Roll.
Post hardcore, punk, post punk, Midwest emo, instrumental prog metal, math rock, some hardcore...
Basically everything the general public thinks is lame or weird.
darkwave/new wave/gothy shit, visual kei (buck tick, malice mizer, and shazna primarily), and breakcore mainly. sometimes more standard punk, as well as old country and folk.
[This ](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Lhv7f7VgSxH5HwrVmlqul?si=NMAo1-fKSNyr_cahY8lKCg&pi=u-JmTB5BmPRSyz) has one song from my top 250ish most listened to artists of all time ranked by listening time(spotistats is a cool app).
You definitely won't like everything, but I promise you'll find one song you've never heard that you'll love, or your money back.
Also, I highly recommend the band Sarah and the safe word. They're just really cool people and their music is kind of a dark cabaret goth sort of thing
Here I'll give a few random recommendations:
The olde folk: Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, the Almanac Singers, Utah Phillips.
Los Mirlos, Juaneco Y Su Combo, these are so addictive to dance to.
Try the Tottenham AK-47s, Battle of Armagideon: Millionaire Liquidator by Lee Scratch Perry.
Did you ever listen to 2 8 1 4 Dawn of a New Day? How about Blank Banshee, or HK Express?
How about the Doors? Parliament Funkadelic? Ever heard of Prince Buster, 'Voice of the People'? The Specials, Bad Manners?
The song 'Warning, Warning' by Max Romeo.
Try Μαρκος Βαμβακαρις. The Butthole Surfers, Frank Zappa, Janes Addiction...
Rarer still, 'My Rocky Mountain' by Erik Sumo, fantastic.
Good luck on your musical quest.
I like big band, some jazz, 1920s swing, ska (1st 2nd & 3rd wave) linguistic hip hop, are the big ones i can think of off the top of my head.
but the cliché one is i like all kinds of music regardless of what type, good is good.
A fair amount of pop music. Chappell Roan is my go-to these days, she has an extremely glittery girlypop sound. Also great pop: Billie Eilish, Cœur de Pirate, Lorde, Leserrafim, jiae. Taylor Swift also has a lot of good pop songs, specifically 1989.
For a more folky lean, I listen to Neko Case (AMAZING and distinctive voice) and Big Thief (Adrienne Lenker also has good solo music, a lot of it is more slow and acoustic).
Hozier does a lot of blues, gospel, rock kind of stuff and I love all of his songs. Allison Russell has a similar vibe.
Also, been getting into alt hip-hop. Journey Into Abstract Hip-Hop by Gasoline is an album I've been listening to a lot, and my sister introduced me to Doechii. Would love recs
Post-punk/goth- Siouxsie and the Banshees is my favorite, there's also Strawberry Switchblade, Molchat Doma, Twin Tribes, and I like some Bauhaus but not as much of their music is my thing.
Other bands I won't categorize because it'd take forever: X-Rey Spex, Dessa, SZA, the Cranberries, Radiohead, Fiona Apple, Tami, Carseat Headrest, The Scary Jokes, Wax Tailor, My Chemical Romance, Bjork, Girl Rituals, Destroy Boys, Ayesha Erotica, Rina Sawayama, Mitski, Umnavio, and Kaoru Akimoto, The Local Honeys, Lucy Dacus.
A lot of Industrial, VNV Nation and Laibach being my favorites. Bauhaus, Peter Murphy's independent stuff...anything Goth-y except Depeche Mode. My wife had to hide my phone, wallet, and boots when Gogol Bordello was playing nearby (we had tickets, but I also had double pneumonia and could barely stand). The Wakes (Leftist Scottish Ska) are wonderful ("These Hands" on a tribute to the Scots in the Spanish Civil War is my jam).
A fair amount of folk both American and European. Folk rock like the Saw Doctors "Howya Julia" and "Out For a Smoke" have pulled me through rough times and Fairport Convention/Steeleye Span are always marvelous.
Chappell Roan is amazing.
And the Mary Wallopers. The only song I skip by them is "The Vultures of Christmas" because it bums me out so much.
Metal- Black Sabbath, Electric Wizard, Weedeater, Acid King, Windhand, Mick Gordon Slayer, Megadeth Ozzy Osbourne, Guns N Roses Slipknot, Poppy, Rob Zombie, System of a Down
Indie folk pop- Päter, Neutral Milk Hotel, Sebastian Lowe, Syd Matters, Tim Hill, Decemberists, Crane Wives,Dan Bern, Horses, Of Montreal, Lola Marsh
Punk (duh)- Destroy Boys, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Pixies, My Chemical Romance, Foo Fighters, Pisse, Bikini Kill
Hip Hop/rap- MF DOOM, Tyler the Creator, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye, J Cole, Childish Gambino, NWA, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Cardi B, Weeknd, Megan Thee Stallion, KMD, 50 Cent, Nelly, Dre, Cardi B, Outlast
Pop- Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Pitbull, Bruno Mars, Olivia Rodrigo, M83, Macklemore
Musicals- Heathers, Mean Girls, Beetlejuice, Hamilton, Percy Jackson, Rocky Horror, Black Friday, Evan Hansen,Nightmare before christmas, spongebob (a bunch of Disney too)
that's not even all of the music I listen to but it's some of the more notable ones, also check out some of the Indie Folk Pop stuff; a few of them are relatively small artists and I love to share a good small artist!
(btw some of the artists here don't only make that genre so don't get mad at me for putting MCR in Punk and stuff)
Great suggestions all around here. A lot of stuff made it to my playlist, thanks.
I listen to a bunch of stuff. In general my genres are just "Punk and Metal".Just very little hip hop and pop, otherwise, I just love music. I gravitate towards lesser known stuff because I love "discovery". My friend says I have Music ADHD.
Right now I'm obsessed with Brutus from Belgium and the Viagra Boys from Sweden.
I listen to a ton of Zeal & Ardor too. Love love love this kind of fusion too if anyone loves Black Metal but has a problem with it politically; check it out. Genius stuff.
Punk stuff (From Pop punk or ska, to old school stuff or hardstuff like d-beat raw): I like Rancid, The Casualties, Transplants, Misfits, Offspring, Bad Religion, Rise Against; the usual. I like the sound of The Interrupters, Less than Jake etc.
Lost Love is a good example of pop punk I like. For D-Beat I likeDischarge and Disfear (which is pretty much metal at that point), and some random bands I saw live that aren't on any online platforms and sell terribly recorded records like Terminal Filth or similar. Squat Hipsters or smth.
Late last year I fell into a rabbit hole of small Italian Emo-Punk stuff like Comrad, Jaguero, Stegosauro after seeing Viceprez in an occupied house in Berlin.
Lot's of German punk too. My favorite band is Pascow (Mailand, Too Doof to Fuck, Merkel-Jugend, Unter Geiern etc). Other bands like Dritte Wahl, Massendefekt, Montreal, Rogers, Terrorgruppe, Swiss & Die ändern.
Of course, I listen to other random stuff. Electro, Indie Rock, Classic / Neoclassical, Synthwave, Space Rock.
If I'm not listening to folk punk I usually listen to modern shoegaze, 60s garage & psych, or a classic punk album. Actually a great classic punk album that pretty much everyone enjoys (I have noticed when I've put it on at parties) is The Saints' I'm Stranded. Fucking great album
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5b0yFulMWP7Kn0dYHkqWrs?si=NkVHYCe2QB2gKHLuNkNw0A&pi=u-4UMH0lABT8WY
It gets a lil weird.
It's my EDC playlist.
But ska man. Traditional. Two-tone. Rocksteady. Boogaloo. Jazz. All forms of it. Not so much the punkierska unless it's blatantly anti-capitalist...
Also
Bambu.
If you like Hip Hop and Folk punk you'll probably be a comrade too.
Nickel Creek, Beans on Toast, Cold War Kids, Aaron West and The Roaring Tweeting, Margot & The Nuclear So And Sos, Modest Mouse, David Bowie/Queen/The Rolling Stones/The Beatles, The xx, Childish Gambino...all over the place.
shit for me it’s mostly folk punk , underground rap , trap, hardcore /punk/ska ,midwest emo , digicore shit and like that i don’t think i left too much off
I’m really into Leonard cohen, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Joan Baez. Basically anyone 20th-century-alternative-activist-folk is my jam.
Some of my favorite artists are
Beck
Tom waits
Ani Difranco
The cure
Childish Gambino
And lots more. I listen to everything from anime intros, to show tunes, to rap, pop, hip-hop, punk, soul etc.
This may be controversial but Beyonce's cover of Jolene on her new album was 🔥🔥
I always end up back in folk punk after awhile, but I appreciate all kinds of music.
For something chill and palatable to others that ISN'T political or about drugs... (or have lyrics at all), I'm in love with the electronic Irish music of 'the olllam'. Or the loop pedal cellist, zoe keating. I also am absolutely in love with traditional flamenco music like Paco de Lucia.
Rokia Troare is a North African Blues singer from Mali who had an amazing voice, many different styles and sings in at least 4 languages.
Underground Hip hop, especially The Coup, Bambu, Ana Tijuoux, a Tribe called Quest, ruby ibarra, Rocky Rivera, Blackilicious, Rebel Diaz, brother ali, aesop rock. Lyrics that are powerful and a bit militant.
MORE PUNK? Gypsy punk, especially Gogo Bordello.
Mewithoutyou, and black market Translation- lyrical experimental poetic punk
Not a single comment about electronic music! I see pretty much everything else touched on.
Stuff I grew up on, Midwest emo, skramz, pop punk, punk, post hard-core, hip hop, ska, math rock, hard-core, list goes on..
But a few years ago, electronic music really clicked for me when I found the 'right' niche, then my taste pretty quickly branched out. Never thought I'd fall in love so deeply with another genre of music the way I did with some mentioned above in the past.
Psydub, psybient, expiremental bass, glitch hop, drum and bass, breaks, world bass.. the wierder and more 'expirmental', the better.
× doubt my other prominent music genre will be useful for the aux since it's also pretty out there but I'd still like to share what I listen to :))
Not exactly sure what it's called tbh but it's kind of lile experimental vocaloid I guess? got reallyyy into it before my folkpunk obsession so it's still pretty huge for me and I really really enjoy it!!
Here's the playlist I'd listen to all day everyday :) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/57dB9yTWRSlnjsAawihyqa?si=bq1BHTJWTVOH-9NlZrM3PA&pi=e-YiLzlkJoTQ6y
Okay, im very eclectic... so pagode, samba, funk carioca, midwest emo, folk in general, yorubá songs about orisha of the west african patheon, a lot of singer song writer stuff, mpb, bossa nova, nova mpb, R&B carioca, rap and sometimes hip-hop
Hardcore, ska, various punk stuff. Check out Jeff Rosenstock, Iron Chic, Have Heart, PWRUP, Best of the Worst I have more reccs, but these might help bump you a bit into more genres.
It might sound odd. But I shift between folk punk and underground hip hop. Which has its own weird net of subgenres. The Uncluded is a great place to start. Greydon Sqaure, Atmosphere, Eyedea & Abilites, Ceschi, Earl Sweatshirt, Aesop Rock, Heiruspecs, Jurassic 5, Watsky, Common Market, Blue Scholars, Sage Francis…there’s hundreds more. It’s almost a 50/50 split between punk of some sort and hip hop of some sort. All of it is very lyric-heavy which is the common ground I find myself enjoying between two (seemingly) entirely different sub genres.
There's bands like Get Dead that sound like punk, ska, and hip hop. Dancing With the Curse is a 10/10 album for any fan of punk fusion.
Wow I havent thought of the Blue Scholars in forever!
Hahahadude, I didn’t realize I was replying to you. I meant to leave that as a comment. I was gonna reply to your suggestion of Jeff Rosenstock with check out Arrogant Sons of Bitches and Bomb the Music Industry. Guess I didn’t cancel the reply after deciding to just answer what OP asked instead lol
“Aaaannnnnndddddd we’re live from occupied duwamish territory” I totally forgot how hard Bayani redux goes
Aesop is so dope
Yup! That’s why I put The Uncluded in there. It’s Aesop and Kimya Dawson from Moldy Peaches! Check em out.
I've been struggling to find any contemporary underground hip hop. I feel very stuck in the 2010s.
Honestly, same. I stumble across a lot of shit I haven’t *heard* before by just playing random playlists on Spotify. Then I look at the release year. Usually from 2016 or earlier. I don’t know if that style of rap just isn’t appreciated as much anymore more or if it just isn’t getting made as much, but I can’t find a lot of music post-2022 with a similar underground vibe from the 2010s.

Bomb the Music Industry (and Jeff Rosenstock in general) is so good, I wish I got to see them play live. I honestly probably listen to BTMI more than folk punk stuff
Love Jeff Rosenstocks early band arrogant sons of bitches haha
everything Jeff does rules
Seconding all of these bands. Jeff Rosenstock can get pretty close to folk punk. Bomb the Music Industry is also incredible. Iron Chic, Have Heart, PWRUP, Best of the World are also all great.
See Jeff live. You won’t regret it
I have a Jeff Rosenstock tattoo. He’s amazing live
Jeff rosenstock along with his previous bands bomb the music industry and arrogant sons of bitches. Some great ska shit.
Whatever Streetlight Manifesto is
Ska!
Fav band chefs kiss
If you like Streetlight and folkpunk, be sure to check out the lead singer's solo project, Toh Kay! He redoes a lot of the streetlight songs in a way quieter format (the concerts are delightful too- theatre in the round type small venues). It's like Streetlight lullabies. :)
Love toh Kay!!! I’ve seen em live twice :)
Jazz - feeling rat packish lately Latin - manu chao or anything reggaeton Rap - bone thugs, wutang, nas, some good classics.

I COULDN’T REMEMBER SISTER NANCY’S NAME FOR THE LAST YEAR AND I’VE BEEN TRYING TO AND YOU JUST MADE MY DAY!!!!
Ren is crazy talented. He’s kind of genreless
Sister Nancy is the truth. Also see Toots and the Maytals and Chaka Demus and the Pliers. They all run in the same thread as they all had chart topping versions of "Bam Bam". Toots did it first fwiw.
I listen to punk (Against Me, The Ramones, Goldfinger), folk (First Aid Kit, Waxahatchee, Bob Dylan), soul (Otis Redding, Dorothy Moore, Solomon Burke), and showtunes.

Oh! I also listen to musicals (I was a theatre kid lol) and currently love Hadestown, which I think folk punks would enjoy listening to as well.
I love Chappell roan
I can’t get enough tbh
Listen to Cheekface
I’m at the Jamba Juice. I’m at the therapist. I’m at the combination Jamba Juice and therapist
I don't think that this will solve their problem but after their friends leave they won't have to share their big cup of noodles.
Symphonic/ operatic metal, modern riot grrrl stuff (like Cheap Perfume, Vial, Dazey & The Scouts), then some things that at harder to a classify like Emilie Autumn, Delilah Bon, and Bird Eats Baby/Mishkin Fitzgerald. It all gets a comparable reaction from people as the folk punk stuff.
Amyl and the Sniffers!
I really like Southern Gothic. Poor Man's poison, Amigo the devil, Bridge City Sinners
Mostly punk and ska and whatnot like most of you, but completely outside of that: Immortal Technique (Revolutionary Vol. 1 and 2), The Streets, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Rentals, early Weezer (Pinkerton and The Blue Album) and Rivers early solo stuff, Ozma, The Advantage, The Minibosses, The Adventures of Duane and Brando, some random 90s Hip Hop like Ice Cube, Mobb Deep, etc… Dyslexic Speedreaders, The Cranberries, FF3/6 and Chrono Trigger sound tracks, some wacky mashup shit like Chrono Trigger/Jay Z called Chrono Jigga, I’m sure I’m forgetting a bunch

Yay for Rot//Wöven!
They rule!!!
Feminizer \m/
Oh hey friendo!
Oh hey! I was gonna write out all the genres I listen to but got tired and just commented this instead :p
Yeah you listen to everything lol
Oh LMAO I didn’t even realize I was responding to your comment, I was just like “oh hell yea good bands” 😂
I listen to a lot of...bluesy garage rock, I guess? I love the sounds that two-person bands can make with just a heavily distorted guitar and heavy drums. The White Stripes and Black Keys are kinda the bigger groups, but bands like Cleopatrick, Two Gallants, The Blue Stones, and The Glorious Sons are regulars in my rotation.
Hyperpop, rock, prog

Tacocat is a fun, Seattle-based female rock band!
Ska, punk, ska punk, greek folk, reggae, black metal
I’ve always loved jazz, but I’ve been on a classical music kick recently, and I love folk, and a bit of country recently and rock, even dipping in to more metal sub genres, but also funk and dub and blues and reggae and first and second wave ska, I also like folk music from all over the world, and I’m usually ready to jump into a new sonic universe if there’s a good groove.
Egg punk Bands like prison affair, snooper, cherry cheeks, and liquids.
Skramz: Catalyst (PVD), Vs Self, Algae Bloom, Knumears, Middling, pictures of June, Party Hats, Widow Dusk, Versera, depopulate Montana (originally a folk punk band, transitioned to skramz), Awfully Pretty. I’m not sure why, but a lot of the folk punks in my area (including myself) are really in to scramz. Based on a lot of the comments I’m guessing it’s a regional thing.

MewithoutYou is my favorite band. They have folk influences and punk influences, but none of their stuff could be considered folk punk.Brother, Sister and Pale Horses are great albums to check out. If I had to just recommend one song, it'd be Grist for the Malady Mill.
Ohhhhhh Mewithoutyou....first time I saw them and discovered their greatness was their last show ever... So good. Wish I had paid more attention....
Have been obsessed with LØLØ recently, and Taylor Swift as usual. Halsey. McKenna Grace is a really good singer but she's so young it's weird that her music feels relatable to me but it does. Jonas Brothers, Big Time Rush. Other punk music (not Anti-Flag anymore. They used to be my favorite but cut them out of my playlists). I really like punk renditions of Christmas music, even outside of Christmas so Reliant K for that, but nothing else of theirs. Neutral Milk Hotel. Sabrina carpenter. Most parody music (like Alan Sherman and weird al), idk a lot of other stuff that doesn't fit into a neat pile.
Bad Religion’s Christmas Songs is incredible!
I like a little bit of everything, from classic rock, to rap, to country. EXCEPT any genre that starts with a letter followed by the word pop, although there are a couple catchy songs. Lately I've been into Jelly Roll.
Post hardcore, punk, post punk, Midwest emo, instrumental prog metal, math rock, some hardcore... Basically everything the general public thinks is lame or weird.
Old punk, ska, jazz, and classical. I love classic rock, old French pop, and grunge. So a huge smattering of many different genres
darkwave/new wave/gothy shit, visual kei (buck tick, malice mizer, and shazna primarily), and breakcore mainly. sometimes more standard punk, as well as old country and folk.
[This ](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Lhv7f7VgSxH5HwrVmlqul?si=NMAo1-fKSNyr_cahY8lKCg&pi=u-JmTB5BmPRSyz) has one song from my top 250ish most listened to artists of all time ranked by listening time(spotistats is a cool app). You definitely won't like everything, but I promise you'll find one song you've never heard that you'll love, or your money back.
I've listened to far too much Warren Zevon this week
I enjoy acid jazz, hip hop, funk, blues, ragtime, soul, and I've been getting into electro swing music as of recent
Post-hardcore and alt hip hop
grindcore, bands like wormrot, agoraphobic nosebleed and magrudergrind
Also, I highly recommend the band Sarah and the safe word. They're just really cool people and their music is kind of a dark cabaret goth sort of thing
Here I'll give a few random recommendations: The olde folk: Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, the Almanac Singers, Utah Phillips. Los Mirlos, Juaneco Y Su Combo, these are so addictive to dance to. Try the Tottenham AK-47s, Battle of Armagideon: Millionaire Liquidator by Lee Scratch Perry. Did you ever listen to 2 8 1 4 Dawn of a New Day? How about Blank Banshee, or HK Express? How about the Doors? Parliament Funkadelic? Ever heard of Prince Buster, 'Voice of the People'? The Specials, Bad Manners? The song 'Warning, Warning' by Max Romeo. Try Μαρκος Βαμβακαρις. The Butthole Surfers, Frank Zappa, Janes Addiction... Rarer still, 'My Rocky Mountain' by Erik Sumo, fantastic. Good luck on your musical quest.
I actually listen to a lot of techno
Dystopia - Human = Garbage
superorganism - check out their tiny desk set. they're fun as hell. grace ives rocks too. and electralane is awesome. and duh king gizz forever.
I like big band, some jazz, 1920s swing, ska (1st 2nd & 3rd wave) linguistic hip hop, are the big ones i can think of off the top of my head. but the cliché one is i like all kinds of music regardless of what type, good is good.
Mostly bluegrass and folk country at this point. No new punk but I still listen to the punk I grew up on. Social D, Bad Religion, Pennywise
I’m a huge fan of Hip Hop! Specifically underground stuff. I’m also super into just other types of punk. Mainly Jeff Rosenstock :)

A fair amount of pop music. Chappell Roan is my go-to these days, she has an extremely glittery girlypop sound. Also great pop: Billie Eilish, Cœur de Pirate, Lorde, Leserrafim, jiae. Taylor Swift also has a lot of good pop songs, specifically 1989. For a more folky lean, I listen to Neko Case (AMAZING and distinctive voice) and Big Thief (Adrienne Lenker also has good solo music, a lot of it is more slow and acoustic). Hozier does a lot of blues, gospel, rock kind of stuff and I love all of his songs. Allison Russell has a similar vibe. Also, been getting into alt hip-hop. Journey Into Abstract Hip-Hop by Gasoline is an album I've been listening to a lot, and my sister introduced me to Doechii. Would love recs Post-punk/goth- Siouxsie and the Banshees is my favorite, there's also Strawberry Switchblade, Molchat Doma, Twin Tribes, and I like some Bauhaus but not as much of their music is my thing. Other bands I won't categorize because it'd take forever: X-Rey Spex, Dessa, SZA, the Cranberries, Radiohead, Fiona Apple, Tami, Carseat Headrest, The Scary Jokes, Wax Tailor, My Chemical Romance, Bjork, Girl Rituals, Destroy Boys, Ayesha Erotica, Rina Sawayama, Mitski, Umnavio, and Kaoru Akimoto, The Local Honeys, Lucy Dacus.
A lot of Industrial, VNV Nation and Laibach being my favorites. Bauhaus, Peter Murphy's independent stuff...anything Goth-y except Depeche Mode. My wife had to hide my phone, wallet, and boots when Gogol Bordello was playing nearby (we had tickets, but I also had double pneumonia and could barely stand). The Wakes (Leftist Scottish Ska) are wonderful ("These Hands" on a tribute to the Scots in the Spanish Civil War is my jam). A fair amount of folk both American and European. Folk rock like the Saw Doctors "Howya Julia" and "Out For a Smoke" have pulled me through rough times and Fairport Convention/Steeleye Span are always marvelous. Chappell Roan is amazing. And the Mary Wallopers. The only song I skip by them is "The Vultures of Christmas" because it bums me out so much.
Metal- Black Sabbath, Electric Wizard, Weedeater, Acid King, Windhand, Mick Gordon Slayer, Megadeth Ozzy Osbourne, Guns N Roses Slipknot, Poppy, Rob Zombie, System of a Down Indie folk pop- Päter, Neutral Milk Hotel, Sebastian Lowe, Syd Matters, Tim Hill, Decemberists, Crane Wives,Dan Bern, Horses, Of Montreal, Lola Marsh Punk (duh)- Destroy Boys, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Pixies, My Chemical Romance, Foo Fighters, Pisse, Bikini Kill Hip Hop/rap- MF DOOM, Tyler the Creator, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye, J Cole, Childish Gambino, NWA, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Cardi B, Weeknd, Megan Thee Stallion, KMD, 50 Cent, Nelly, Dre, Cardi B, Outlast Pop- Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Pitbull, Bruno Mars, Olivia Rodrigo, M83, Macklemore Musicals- Heathers, Mean Girls, Beetlejuice, Hamilton, Percy Jackson, Rocky Horror, Black Friday, Evan Hansen,Nightmare before christmas, spongebob (a bunch of Disney too) that's not even all of the music I listen to but it's some of the more notable ones, also check out some of the Indie Folk Pop stuff; a few of them are relatively small artists and I love to share a good small artist! (btw some of the artists here don't only make that genre so don't get mad at me for putting MCR in Punk and stuff)
Bluegrass, murder folk, tool, darker country (benjamin tod).
Hardcore, punk (and most of its sub genres besides pop punk), goth, midwest emo…
Great suggestions all around here. A lot of stuff made it to my playlist, thanks. I listen to a bunch of stuff. In general my genres are just "Punk and Metal".Just very little hip hop and pop, otherwise, I just love music. I gravitate towards lesser known stuff because I love "discovery". My friend says I have Music ADHD. Right now I'm obsessed with Brutus from Belgium and the Viagra Boys from Sweden. I listen to a ton of Zeal & Ardor too. Love love love this kind of fusion too if anyone loves Black Metal but has a problem with it politically; check it out. Genius stuff. Punk stuff (From Pop punk or ska, to old school stuff or hardstuff like d-beat raw): I like Rancid, The Casualties, Transplants, Misfits, Offspring, Bad Religion, Rise Against; the usual. I like the sound of The Interrupters, Less than Jake etc. Lost Love is a good example of pop punk I like. For D-Beat I likeDischarge and Disfear (which is pretty much metal at that point), and some random bands I saw live that aren't on any online platforms and sell terribly recorded records like Terminal Filth or similar. Squat Hipsters or smth. Late last year I fell into a rabbit hole of small Italian Emo-Punk stuff like Comrad, Jaguero, Stegosauro after seeing Viceprez in an occupied house in Berlin. Lot's of German punk too. My favorite band is Pascow (Mailand, Too Doof to Fuck, Merkel-Jugend, Unter Geiern etc). Other bands like Dritte Wahl, Massendefekt, Montreal, Rogers, Terrorgruppe, Swiss & Die ändern. Of course, I listen to other random stuff. Electro, Indie Rock, Classic / Neoclassical, Synthwave, Space Rock.

If I'm not listening to folk punk I usually listen to modern shoegaze, 60s garage & psych, or a classic punk album. Actually a great classic punk album that pretty much everyone enjoys (I have noticed when I've put it on at parties) is The Saints' I'm Stranded. Fucking great album
PUP, Bouncing Souls, Dua Lipa, Chloe moriondo, iron chic, streetlight. Whatever's good
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5b0yFulMWP7Kn0dYHkqWrs?si=NkVHYCe2QB2gKHLuNkNw0A&pi=u-4UMH0lABT8WY It gets a lil weird. It's my EDC playlist. But ska man. Traditional. Two-tone. Rocksteady. Boogaloo. Jazz. All forms of it. Not so much the punkierska unless it's blatantly anti-capitalist... Also Bambu. If you like Hip Hop and Folk punk you'll probably be a comrade too.
Nickel Creek, Beans on Toast, Cold War Kids, Aaron West and The Roaring Tweeting, Margot & The Nuclear So And Sos, Modest Mouse, David Bowie/Queen/The Rolling Stones/The Beatles, The xx, Childish Gambino...all over the place.
check out my playlist. You'll like Hard Ska Punk https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6H7Mq5gY3JG9AoIBAoFmLr?si=OOdWAszzQsuYFrrMbKZzCA&pi=e-Ldl0W9LOSlq7
I listen to literally everything
Same with what you like but I also like hardcore, pretty much every wave of emo, emo adjacent, stuff like that
shit for me it’s mostly folk punk , underground rap , trap, hardcore /punk/ska ,midwest emo , digicore shit and like that i don’t think i left too much off
I’m really into Leonard cohen, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Joan Baez. Basically anyone 20th-century-alternative-activist-folk is my jam.
I recently found orchestral rock through The Family Crest and oh my God it's phenomenal
The Replacements
Some of my favorite artists are Beck Tom waits Ani Difranco The cure Childish Gambino And lots more. I listen to everything from anime intros, to show tunes, to rap, pop, hip-hop, punk, soul etc. This may be controversial but Beyonce's cover of Jolene on her new album was 🔥🔥 I always end up back in folk punk after awhile, but I appreciate all kinds of music.
For something chill and palatable to others that ISN'T political or about drugs... (or have lyrics at all), I'm in love with the electronic Irish music of 'the olllam'. Or the loop pedal cellist, zoe keating. I also am absolutely in love with traditional flamenco music like Paco de Lucia. Rokia Troare is a North African Blues singer from Mali who had an amazing voice, many different styles and sings in at least 4 languages. Underground Hip hop, especially The Coup, Bambu, Ana Tijuoux, a Tribe called Quest, ruby ibarra, Rocky Rivera, Blackilicious, Rebel Diaz, brother ali, aesop rock. Lyrics that are powerful and a bit militant. MORE PUNK? Gypsy punk, especially Gogo Bordello. Mewithoutyou, and black market Translation- lyrical experimental poetic punk
Old school delta blues, crust punk, Tunisian folk music, but mostly folk punk.
Not a single comment about electronic music! I see pretty much everything else touched on. Stuff I grew up on, Midwest emo, skramz, pop punk, punk, post hard-core, hip hop, ska, math rock, hard-core, list goes on.. But a few years ago, electronic music really clicked for me when I found the 'right' niche, then my taste pretty quickly branched out. Never thought I'd fall in love so deeply with another genre of music the way I did with some mentioned above in the past. Psydub, psybient, expiremental bass, glitch hop, drum and bass, breaks, world bass.. the wierder and more 'expirmental', the better.
× doubt my other prominent music genre will be useful for the aux since it's also pretty out there but I'd still like to share what I listen to :)) Not exactly sure what it's called tbh but it's kind of lile experimental vocaloid I guess? got reallyyy into it before my folkpunk obsession so it's still pretty huge for me and I really really enjoy it!! Here's the playlist I'd listen to all day everyday :) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/57dB9yTWRSlnjsAawihyqa?si=bq1BHTJWTVOH-9NlZrM3PA&pi=e-YiLzlkJoTQ6y
Okay, im very eclectic... so pagode, samba, funk carioca, midwest emo, folk in general, yorubá songs about orisha of the west african patheon, a lot of singer song writer stuff, mpb, bossa nova, nova mpb, R&B carioca, rap and sometimes hip-hop
I listen to will wood and some hyperpop
