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.
Try out Mongolian Metal. They combine metal and throat singing.
The who? The Hu! Who? The HU!
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
"I listen to everything" at the same time
sea shanties and gregorian chants are the fedoras of music genres
Add Mongolian Throat singing and Tibetan chanting to that list.
Mix in some rap, old school country, jazz, and dubstep with that group and you have an exact replica of one of my playlists
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
TAKE MY MONEY AND MY MUSIC!

Combine all 4: dungeon synth
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.
Boogie rock, folk psych rock, thrash metal, electronica, and even a bit of hip hop.

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 ✌️
Enjoy. There's a "making of" for his latest album on Youtube.
Dude built some instruments himself. He has an artist supporting him going "WTF is he going with this?". And when pedals and weird amps aren't enough for your guitar distortion, the obvious answer is to play it while the equipment is set on actual fire.
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?
It's kind of practical when standing or walking slowly, like at a fair. Since it's got a shoulder strap I don't have to hold it all the time. But you can't set it down with anything in it. Cleaning is a little awkward but not terrible, give it a good soak and use a bottle brush to get all the way down.
It is fun to drink out of a horn though
Mind if I get a link to some of the stuff you listen to? Always down to try new things. Giggidy

my favourite "genre" of music is happyish songs about death
examples:
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.)
oh that one scratches the itch yes, perfect, thank you!

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. 🎧
