I keep seeing things acting like Justin Bieber is good now. To me he just came from sounding annoying to being boring as hell. Not really a huge improvement...

At least the Skrillex collab resulted in a bunch of great versions.

If you wanna try older stuff, I'd reccomend the Stones Paint It Black or maybe Gob's cover and here's some 80s tracks from Transformers: The Movie The Touch and Lion's cover of the theme song

The thing about any type of rock music is that it usually has all the characteristics I dislike and misses all the ones I like. It's the complete opposite of my music taste. There is a complete lack of sub-bass in both the drums and the other instruments of every rock song. Although the recording quality is just fine, my brain always thinks that it's horrible, quality-wise. It sounds like a large part of the song is missing.
So, while I do have rock songs I do like, they're rare and don't last long. Usually, combinations of electronic stuff with rock get rid of the sub-bass issue.

'Paint It Black' is a song I've heard many times. It's a classic within my family. I prefer 'Gimme Shelter'.

Sorry, I forgot to ask what genres you like. :blush:

I really like rock and metal, but if you don't that's fine, and I don't have to be mean about it. I respect your opinion. I especially like older rock songs. I had a lot of songs from the 2008 "Dad Rocks" Album on my Walkman.What Genres do you like? Here's a non-rock song from pre-2000. Do you like the Beatles or Bowie? They might be rock artists you like.

This is Halloween and Monster Mash had 2000s rock covers by Marilyn Manson and Zombina and the Skeletones (I kinda prefer those versions to the originals (but I think both of the originals are great)). So switch the originals for those. BTW, which 2000s cover of Paint It Black do you think is the most halloweeny? I Can't listen to all of them, unfortunately.

Why does it have to be from 2000s? And so what if it's rock music?

It has to be from the 2000s because I like rock music from that decade. And Rock is my favourite genre of music so that's why it needs to be rock music. Pop-punk is fine BTW, since I count that as Rock music due to its punk rock origins. Also I think it might be good to be specific with genres and decades. Maybe I or someone else could do it for other genres and decades.

Edit: And the Halloween theme and cover of said theme

He went from being a cookie-cutter teenybopper artist to being a cookie-cutter "mature" electropopish/R&Bish artist, essentially. I don't really understand the hype around this either...he's still just average even by mainstream standards.

Also, as far as I'm concerned he has the worst album artwork of the year.
Not that the artwork really matters, but still.

If horrorcore would be considered halloween music, then sure. I don't really like music made specifically for halloween though (or any holiday really, except for some Christmas music), if that's what you mean.

I remember the song you linked! I have no idea where from, though.

I usually like songs I have heard ages before a lot more than ones I've never heard. I'm weird.

I've never heard of Bowie. The only Beatles song I like is 'Hey Jude'.

My favorite genres are dnb and hardcore, but I also do actively listen to all electronic music.

You know, with the release of Logic's slightly above average new album, I found myself going back to Sylvan LaCue (QuESt).

It's just... why couldn't he have gotten Logic's popularity?

Anyone else here like Black Sabbath with any singer other than Dio and Ozzy?

Some (intentionally) overly catchy and goofy music for the day

The small star corporation
We need no explanation
We offer dedication
To help you find
The proper information
To help your situation
To help you find
The stars inside your mind

(Pretty sure these lyrics say all you need to know)

New favorite album

I've been waiting for this for a long time. Finally an album that I can relate to. Transgender Dysphoria Blues is great, but I still can't really relate to it because it's from the perspective of a transwoman, and my struggles are the exact opposite of that. But this album is great. It's also a lot more positive than the Against Me album, and that's something I need right now.

Maybe you remember the song I linked from the Doctor Who Episode "The End of The World". I'm a bit surprised that you haven't heard of Bowie. He's one of the world's most popular and well-known musicians. Here's one of his songs. I thought most people like several beatles songs, but to each their own. Here's "Another Day by Paul McCartney" Maybe you'll like it.

Have you heard electric avenue or Harder Better Faster Stronger? They're electronic/techno songs I like.

Music like Bowie's and The Beatles' (don't know if that's correct. gg midnight grammar) was forced on me a lot in my childhood, so I distanced myself from it as soon as I discovered that something else exists. Same for a lot of music that is outside of comfort zone. And I don't watch movies or TV at all. You can gasp, cry, and whatever else now.

Another Day is okay, I guess (certainly better than most acoustic/rock songs I hear).
I've heard both Electric Avenue and HBFS before. The latter is from one of my favorite albums, Discovery. I grew up with that album. The anime that went along with it probably helped me fall in love with it.

There are songs I like much more from Discovery, though. Face To Face and Digital Love are personal favorites.

The main reason I don't have much in common with others when it comes to music is because I need (literal) extremes a lot. Most of my music is considerably faster than usual and contains breakbeats and other related percussion. Even the music I consider simple has those characteristics.

You say you don't watch movies or TV, but then you say the anime Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem helped you get into Daft Punk. I'm a bit confused here. Did you used to watch more TV and movies? What are your favourite entertainment mediums now?

Some people like and share their musical tastes with their parents, and plenty of people say they were introduced into rock and metal by their parents. But some people don't, and grow up to like different genres and have different tastes to their parents, and that's fine.

I did use to watch TV, but only when I was very young. I discovered Interstella 5555 through Daft Punk's Discovery, not the other way around, and I found it entirely online at the time (although I had the album on CD before that).

I listen to my current music because of my parents, but for the exact opposite reason: They listened to rock, the radio was all rock (because of their choice to play it), the rest of the family was all into rock, and a large part of people outside of my family. I've always been a hipster kind of guy, so I disliked the genre the more I heard it - for all the wrong reasons.
And so I looked for something else. And now it's hard for me to get back into rock because I've associated it with all that negativity from before. But maybe I'm just not into it and that's that.
