Diversity in your ear holes

Sea shanties just hit different, especially when sung by native speakers.

Metal and sea shanties with Alestorm
- Also Stormseeker

Can somebody please make a bot that scrapes a comment thread and produces a Spotify Playlist with all song suggestions? Would be amazing for this thread!
- I would love this. Unfortunately I'm too lazy and incompetent to pull it off.

I dyslexia'd techno-sea shanties and now there's a genre I need in my life Edit if you can imagine it, someone has made it
Gregorian metal
- TAKE MY MONEY AND MY MUSIC!
- I was thinking БАТЮШКА would have the combination of death metal and Gregorian chant covered. Or maybe black metal and chant, I suppose. Close enough though, imo.
- That's the worst kind of "techno" though..
- As I don't really listen to Sea-Shanties or Techno anymore, the only thing that popped into my brain was that Wellerman song that turned into a whole thing on TikTok a while ago. As that was close to unavoidable at the time.

The same thing happens when I put my King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard discography on shuffle. Gotta at least sort by album or it's chaos.
- Seriously. I saw them play a few years back and thought they were amazing. Some time later my friend put on an album in the car and my thought was, "what is this absolute garbage?" Same band somehow.
  
  Yea, they are good at many sub genres of music, but not everyone is into all of them, or just not in the mood for death metal, jam band, EDM, Folk, and microtonal kazoo music all at one time lol.
  (Saw them at Red Rocks last year for all 3 shows, everything was great live)
- Boogie rock, folk psych rock, thrash metal, electronica, and even a bit of hip hop.

Combine all 4: dungeon synth

When CD burners first became affordable, I made mixes.
150 songs. I had a disk that started with pop, moved to metal, back to easy listening and ended with classical.
What does everyone do? Insert mp3-CD and hit shuffle.
Megadeath: Sweating Bullets -> Grieg In the Hall of the Mountain King -> MJ Smooth Criminal

Try out Mongolian Metal. They combine metal and throat singing.
- The who? The Hu! Who? The HU!

I assume you are familiar with Mongol throat singing, especially delivered in the form of techno)? I also like guys who put traffic cones in their bass saxophone. Death metal with a Banjo anyone? This intrigues me, though I don't speak french.
- If you're into weird French music, give Igorrr a listen: drum & bass, glitch music, extreme metal, classical female vocal singing gibberish with baroque influences.
  I've heard it called "Baroquecore".
  Sometimes Youtube's absolutely random recommendations go hard.
  
  Oh! weird French music ? Never been down that road before . Thanks ✌️

This person drinks from a horn.
- This comment made me look up at my drinking horn hanging on the wall among Ren faire weapons and shield...
  
  Genuine question: Is it practical both for drinking and cleaning or is it really just a gimmick to look cool?

Yeah I'm into indie hip hop and medieval beekeepers

"I listen to everything" at the same time

sea shanties and gregorian chants are the fedoras of music genres
- actually, fair enough

Mind if I get a link to some of the stuff you listen to? Always down to try new things. Giggidy
- So this guy's meme actually hits pretty close to my music tastes somehow lmao. I think it's got to be because I grew up with Linkin Park and halo. So that set my path into metal, electronic, and liking chants/shanties. My tastes have grown and changed but generally the meme is right lol.
  Metal
  Good intro metal bands of various subgenres (featuring catchy clean vocal parts frequently)

  Electronic
  Currently I listen to a lot of retro EDM. Synth wave specifically. It's like modern EDM writing a lover letter to the 80s we all see in stranger things. Which, unironically I love the intro to that show. Music like the Weeknds blinding lights fits under this umbrella of genres (https://youtu.be/4NRXx6U8ABQ).

  Shout-out to Phonk as a genre too. It's great for studying or background for working
  https://youtu.be/J4t4pMZBXZg
  For sea shanties, the assassin's creed rogue and ac black flag soundtrack has great versions or real shanties.
  Also look up the dreadnaughts
  https://youtu.be/m2HN_kptGp0
  https://youtu.be/ZwXPSaRQRo8
  They are polka and shanties. It's awesome.
  The longest John's are another sea shanty / folk song band that rules.

  And the monk chants for me really is just the halo menu music lol. It's the best game music I've ever heard.
  https://youtu.be/uXcWxw7UHME
  I would just click on this stuff and see if you like anything. There's so much more to these genres than what I'm posting.
  Disclaimer: This is just a taste and I just picked some stuff quickly and randomly
  Inb4 "sleep token isn't metal"

- what about shanty inspired stuff?
  this is such a banger imo
  
  Also the Jackdaws
- Worst fad ever

my favourite "genre" of music is happyish songs about death
examples:
We're All Gonna Die
Memento Mori
When I Die
and also all the songs that give me specifically the same vibe. my friends are often confused
edit: thank you all for the recommendations <3 a lot new songs on my favourite playlist!
- Not a 'revival hymn', but more of a 'survival hymn'. (As introduced one time by the artist.)
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frAEmhqdLFs
  
  oh that one scratches the itch yes, perfect, thank you!
- https://youtu.be/8E9l_i6HPYM
  Let’s not forget our modern folk artist!
- https://youtu.be/jHPOzQzk9Qo
- Dirt Poor Robins - Last Goodbye
- I don't like music in major-key but make an exception for Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival, who specifically talked about how he made the juxtaposition between upbeat music and lyrics about the apocalypse and doom a deliberate choice and made one of the all-time classic songs.
- Get Set Go - Suicide
  Edit: Get Set Go - Die Motherfucker Die
- I can't click those right now, but very much look forward to them. Have one of my favorites:

Man I don't exactly love two out of four of those genres myself, but this thread has a few commenters that seem to want to pretend they're the adults in the room but in reality they're just a bunch of miserable cunts that either hate music or only want to listen to the same fucking popular shit over and over.
Like, popular music is fine to be clear but so is wanting to listen to weirder stuff.
- No faster way to make otherwise normal-seeming people go full-on rabies-mode is to make a public statement about a kind of music you don't like.
  It's wild how people take that as a personal attack. In every instance, in a public space, if you type out distaste in a music genre someone is going to lose all reason and restraint and come at you swinging fucking viking axes.
  
  Meh, your take is kinda trash. You should own what you like and dont like and stop caring what other people think about you so much, especially whatever "normal" people are.

Add Mongolian Throat singing and Tibetan chanting to that list.

No mention of Dwarven metal yet?
- Sounds like power/prog to me

Yeah, I just put my whole collection on shuffle and have come to appreciate the simplicity of that.
I use this web music player at home, which only supports shuffle and because it's a web thing, I can't either use keyboard shortcuts to skip songs (without switching to that window).
And I actually like that I can't distract myself with selecting just the right music. Because if I don't distract myself and just get into coding or whatever, I'll quickly stop noticing what precise music is playing.

Upgrade your friends. But don’t abandon the soundtrack of your life. It's a vital piece of the narrative. 🎧

Ok, this is what social media is for. Thanks everyone, so much good stuff in here. Glad I have similarly esoteric tastes..

Mix in some rap, old school country, jazz, and dubstep with that group and you have an exact replica of one of my playlists

A great Celtic banger I've recently discovered. Also this one by Rose betts is great!
Seems like people in this thread might appreciate both those.

I do, adding also Free Jazz and Stockhausen with countriy music in between.

My playlists get sprinkled with a little Ancient FM: Music of the mediæval and renaissance eras.

So, like... Sleep Token?
No joke though, this is incredible: https://youtu.be/JJpFTUP6fIo
In my day to day playlist I have mostly brutal metal and jazz, with some '90s British trip-hop, Romanian traditional music & hip hop fusion, a bit of manouche, 2000s alternative and '90s grunge here and there...
That's when I work or work out.
The Diablo or Witcher OSTs are for when I read or do my taxes.
- Normal activities: normal music
  Taxes: boss music
  
  Heck yeah :)

tiktokcore

If you dont mind French language songs:

Don't forget the occasional anime OP/ED

I think this is what some of my neighbours look like each day when I play something different. One day, Algerian jazz from the 70s. Next day, modern German disco. Next day, psychedelic folk from Brittany (the French peninsula). Next day, synth-wave. Next day, energetic 80s Japanese fusion. Next day, Swedish Lounge Jazz. etc.

From that pic, they're clearly just waiting to hear yub nub

Irish beer punk + japanese movie soundtracks + 60s hippy pop

me irl.

I want an artist that combines all four of that into an album, even if by techno it might mean "just some form of electronic music, and not necessarily techno".
- Gregorian Death Chanting Shanties - now in Techno!
- Go to a science fiction convention. Seriously. There's some wild live music. I wouldn't be surprised if you heard it there.
  I used to go to several in the Northeast US, like Arisia, Lunacon, Philcon, Boscone. Of course yor best bet would be WorldCon.
- Hmmm...
- See if Heilung does it for you. It’s light on the sea shanties, but covers the rest pretty well. Check out their live performance videos on YouTube too, the stage show is arguably the best part.

FR tho, if you get the aux you need to get the vibe. If anybody but you is enjoying the noise you put through them ears then you kinda failed the job.
(also, I'm not saying I don't like techno, sea shanties, gregorian chants and whatnot...)

Any chance op can share tjis playlist ?

  I just made this comment for someone else in here. Check out some of that stuff if you're interested

I fucking love sea shanties. It's ironic because I'm terrified of water.

Neurodivergence has become the "My kid is gifted" for people who don't have kids.
- What the fuck are you talking about and who the fuck are you talking to

- God forbid I want to listen to shit I like while I'm giving my friends a lift
