I mostly listen to varieties of British music (shoutout !britishmusic@lemmy.world)
I love R&B. I've been exploring British country music lately (surprisingly is a lot of it).
Massive fan of grime music (!grime@lemmy.world) (similarish to hip hop but with electronic beats) and its predecessor, UK garage (summery dance music vibes). UK rap in general is a big thing for me. I listen to drill music on occasion but not super often (modern gangster rap basically, although there's a lot of commercial drill nowadays). Been really into jersey club music lately - I think the beats are really cool.
I have some fondness for dancehall (!dancehall@lemmy.world) and afrobeats music as well.
Other than that, I enjoy (but don't listen to actively) baile funk, some varieties of house music, deep/original dubstep music (not the screechy dubstep most people think of), reggae, lofi-hiphop, the underground NY hip hop scene
I almost exclusively listen to video game music. I've been listening to a lot of music from Pokemon Black and White lately.
Most flavours of metal, hard rock, punk, some blues stuff like SRV and Gary Moore. Basically, if it has loud guitars in it, I'm there.
I listen to a bit of everything. Bands in my recent rotation include Low, 3rd Secret, Motörhead, Rick James, L7 and Joji, Aimee Mann, Mdou Moctar, Aphex Twin, Beastie Boys. Donny Benet
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s PetroDragon Apocalypse is my favorite album all year.
My favorite all time genre is industrial. So stuff like The Young Gods, Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, KMFDM, Ministry, Filter, Mulitple Man, Meat Beat Manifesto, Pig, Emptyset, Youth Code, Atari Teenage Riot / Alec Empire, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Download…
I'm really into mid 2000s pop-punk. Obviously the big ones like blink-182 and Green Day, but also a bunch of the smaller ones like The Starting Line, Rufio, New Found Glory, etc. Those were the bands I listened to when I was learning to play guitar. I learned so many of their songs because they were easy AF (except Rufio). And I guess those songs really stuck with me.
I'm a real big fan of grunge. All my discovery feeds are based off nothing but 90's grunge.
Gridlink just dropped a new track and I was reminded of what a banger Longhena was
The band Sleep Token has been a majority of my played music for over a month now, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I mostly listen to stuff like Metalcore, Deathcore, Djent, Nu Metal, Prog, Instrumental, I love metal covers of pop songs. Also like hard dance, dubstep, DnB, some pop, some rap, most anything as long as it isn't tasteless.
Sleep Token. Discovered it recently too. Man that guy can SING! Love it. Chokehold is great.
Mostly rock. Specifically love 80s hair metal and hard rock, and prog rock/metal. Lately I've had Sleep Token albums on constant rotation.
The Beta Band, Vulfpeck, Khruangbin, Holy Hive, Tame Impala, Hippo Campus, STRFKR, Greta Van Fleet
Legitimately almost every genre, as long as I'm the mood. Lately tho I've mostly been listening to The Fall of Troy, Blink-182, Dance Gavin Dance, This Town Needs Guns, and good ole Pro Era artists like Capital Steez and Joey Bada$$.
Mostly extreme metal, moreso since going back to college, but I also like post-rock, shoegaze, and classical amongst other things. Try this out for size.
Kobaryo Speedcore
Only happy hardcore
Death metal, experimental metal, vaporwave/mallsoft, witch house, and experimental punk.
I've been listening to a lot of Cavalera Conspiracy and Voivod lately. Polysics are pretty fun, too. Luxury Elite is a reliable vaporwave choice.

I'm all over the place. Willie Nelson, Rodrigo y Gabriella, OutKast, The Cure, Beck, Blackalicious, B-52s, Talking Heads, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, James Brown, The Clash, Ray Charles, Jonny Cash, The Who, ELO, The Beatles, The Guess Who.
Basically I start with listening to different genres of music, and add them into a big playlist and keep looking for new music to add to the playlist. I love finding collaborations that bands have done and spinoff bands.
