Time to share some of that most sophisticated music, you know what it is.chill hip hop thread
fellow zoomers get ITT. I'm making this thread for myself, since it's all I listen to these days. don't hesitate to recommend shit you like. it does not necessarily have to contain rap. anything in the area of trip hop, downtempo, lo-fi, chopped and screwed, gorillaz. you get the ideaHip Hop is dead?
>To be clear, hip-hop is still the most listened-to genre of music by far, and it’s still growing. According to Luminate, it has a 26.8% share of U.S. recorded music consumption; the next closest genre is rock at 20%. But that hip-hop number was 27.7% in 2021 and reached a peak of 28.2% in 2020. After a heightened growth period in the 2010s, hip-hop’s growth has slowed down.Synth Singing General
Vocaloid, UTAU, clever use of Text-To-Speech or Sentence Mixing, ect…Catchy folk/ propaganda music.
No boring ass woody Guthrie singing about how sad it to be from Oklahoma while strumming his guitar. I want synthesisers, fast rhythms, weird ass instruments you’ve never heard before. I want shit that would make you want to get up and dance in your local town square with other third world peasants.Music Search
Music Sauce Threadyoung gen z music
Am I crazy for thinking younger Gen Z's have way different music tastes? Alot of zoomer girls like nu-grunge/punk like Olivia Rodrigo, or jersey club, or straight up pop i.e. Taylor Swift, etc. or Kpop. I think Old Gen Z was the last generation that really liked hip hop.Krautrock was anti-DDR propaganda?
I've seen this theory on 4/mu/ that krautrock was promoted by the British music press during the 70s to show the superiority of West Germany over East Germany, which is funny considering a lot of the bands were far-left themselves (CAN is an abbreviation for "communism, anarchism, nihilism").CU-CU-CU-CUMBIA (wipi!)

I fucking hate spotifyGrunge
>Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound) is an alternative rock genre and subculture that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American Pacific Northwest state of Washington, particularly in Seattle and nearby towns. Grunge fuses elements of punk rock and heavy metal, but without punk's structure and speed. The genre featured the distorted electric guitar sound used in both genres, although some bands performed with more emphasis on one or the other. Like these genres, grunge typically uses electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals. Grunge also incorporates influences from indie rock bands such as Sonic Youth. Lyrics are typically angst-filled and introspective, often addressing themes such as social alienation, self-doubt, abuse, neglect, betrayal, social and emotional isolation, addiction, psychological trauma and a desire for freedom.Ph-ph-ph-phases
what were your musical "phases" you went through at various ages? This is kind of a cringe confessional thread, but I'm too old to be ashamed of my proclivities.RIP Harry Belafonte
>Harry Belafonte, the effortlessly graceful singer credited with popularizing calypso in the U.S. in the 1950s who then marched at the forefront of the country’s civil rights struggle for half a century, died Tuesday, according to his spokesperson.Is Justin Timberlake done making serious music?
When I saw the Mario movie with my brother & a friend of his about a week ago, I saw a preview for yet another Trolls movie. Do you think Justin's tapping out with regard to serious studio releases? Man of the Woods (2018) had some goofy cuts like "Supplies" but you could at least consider that a genuine attempt of his at modern R&B (though The Weeknd basically had a monopoly on that for at least a year by that point).I love soviet military songs!
When I listen to old soviet post WW2 or revolutionary songs I just get goosebumps.Footwork/Juke/Baltimore club/Jersey Club

Denpa(電波) is a Japanese subculture characterized by bizarre and eerie themes. It originally began as a derogative term for mentally deranged behavior, but over the 1990s was adapted by otaku into their culture. In part, through artistic expression within manga, anime and visual novels, and also separately as a genre of cute and quirky music.Experimental & avant-garde metal
Post experimental, progressive, avant-garde etc. metal music. The more experimental and out-there the better.DIY instruments

Post good music that makes you happy/Lowrider/
Music for posting lowrider music also known as Chicano Soul or really just 50s-60s Doo Wop. They call it Chicano Soul but most of the artists are black(especially when it comes to the oldies.) Mexicans in SoCal never stopped driving those sick old cars from that era, and when you're cruising in one of those old vintage beauties you an appropriate soundtrack. So lots of oldies and also a lot of throwback music has been coming out in the last few years.Music that gives you hope
Do you listen to anything that makes you keep your head up in hopes of a better tomorrow? Things have been turbulent in Brazil this year, and it'll only get even worse from here, regardless of the outcome of the election. I've been listening to communists songs lately, more specifically the Internationale, that gives me hope to keep fighting liberal and reactionary hegemony in the country.Power Metal thread
I fucking love Blind Guardian, I've been neglecting all their albums other than the first 2 for the past 5 or so years, only recently did I begin to appreciate Tales from the Twilight World and Somewhere Far Beyond, they're such wonderful and epic albumsSongs that completely give you the opposite feeling/effect when listened to

As an avid listener of metal, something that frustrates me is the prevalence of chuds and reactionaries in metal (especially black metal). The visibility of guys like Varg and Famine of Peste Noire infamy has colored the public perception of extreme metal as being the domain of edgelord fascists. What are some metal groups that could be said to be socialist, anarchist, or leftist in some manner?Martial Industrial General /MIG/
Since there's no martial industrial thread, I will make this as a call to my anons-in-arms to workout for the impending all-out class war. Post all your martial industrial favorites here! I'm not sure what to post myself, I always recommend March of Heroes or Militia for MLs and anarchists alike, but I think this is a nice compilation. Some of it is straight power electronics but the two genres are relatedpost-punk, shoegaze, melodic experimentalism

Type O Negative is the best metal band of all time. Never released a bad album on the contrary every album by them is a certified classic. And Peter Steele was a god among men. His voice made the gayest lesbian and straightest man question their sexuality. Your wrong if you disagree.Help to find a song/band
I've completely forgotten the name of a band/ song.Eastern fascist music is better than Western fascist music
Before any autist spergs out, no I'm not a fascist, I'm not saying fascism is good or anything like that. This is about the music they make (or quasi-fascists, nationalists, etc). I think we can all agree that the typical fascist music we are used to is awful. The music made by Western fascists such as in Nazi Germany or Francoist Spain is more often than not very boring, uninspiring, and repetitive. All those Nazi miltiary marches sound the same, they're all quite mediocre.Helen Love is Love – please check out this Welsh bubblegum punk-rock indie band that I like
The 3-people band consists of Helen Love – the person, the band’s titular vocalist/songwriter, Sheena on guitar, and rotating members on keyboards (used to be Roxy, then Mark, now it is Ricardo Autobahn). The first Helen Love song I’ve heard is probably “Debbie Loves Joey" – and I hope this amazing tune set the stage for the rest of this post.Pick Which Song I'll Learn on Guitar Please
I bought a new Kramer Baretta Special for 180 bucks to try to get back into guitar playing. It's been fun, but I'm running out of songs I want to learn. I like to be spontaneous by just picking up random songs that I might not have listened to on my own. Tell which song to learn please, it's your pick. I'm advanced enough I play pop,metal, rock, some jazz, but please don't say Polyphia or something that's going to blister the fuck outta me fingers./fire/: Neo-Thrash General

Don't get me wrong guys, I love you all. But I'm looking for a more populated board to discuss music production. I want to get into making music using a DAW and I need to talk to people, who know this stuff. This place here isn't very populated, this is why I consider to look for a board which focuses solely on music production. Does anyone know a good board or forum for this purpose?
