Yes, i’m a huge fan of them. They’ve always had this very alternate sound with themes of gothic romance. They have contemporaries, but i think Type O sounded most unique and had the most prolific output, hence being the most popular band within the genre. The band (mainly Peter Steele) never took things too seriously. They were over the top and wacky with lyrics and themes which played in well to their songwriting. Type O Negative has lots of skits and throw away track that show this. Steeles previous band, Carnivore, was even more over the top and wacky.
My favorite records by Type O Negative are hands down Life is Killing Me and Dead Again. In their last two records they perfected their sound in my opinion. Some of my favorite songs are Hey Pete, Pyretta Blaze, Cinnamon Girl, Be My Druidess, and I Don’t Wanna Be Me. Bloody Kisses is a phenomenal album. It’s sounds the most radio friendly, but still maintains their sound. Summer Breeze and Set Me On Fire and my favs from the album and probably Christian Woman. The varied instrumentation makes it all sound grand, like a goth rock orchestra. October Rust is probably their most sombre sounding album. The songs are often pretty and just straight up catchy sounding. It’s hard to pick tracks that stand out from this album because they all sound great, but Green Man, Die With Me, and the tracks i mentioned earlier are probably my favorites. Their other albums are great too, and follow suit similarly. The first album is probably the silliest (one way of putting it) lyrically speaking. But you just can’t help but love it, because it’s just so apologetically Type O Negative.
There’s many contemporaries, but none of them really capture the same vibe Type O Negative does. They often get compared to Christian Death, London After Midnight, Sisters of Mercy, etc. I’m not gonna pretend to be 100% familiar with those bands discographies, but those bands veer far more into goth rock territory than alternate metal. One band that doesn’t get brought up very often that i think is comparable to Type O Negative is HIM. HIM is a goth rock band with romantic themes similar to Type O Negative, although HIM also is very much more rooted in Goth than Alternative Metal. I guess some early Cradle of Filth could be comparable as well, with themes of gothic romance, but conversely thats much more sonically rooted in black and death metal.
My favorite song of all time by the band is I Don’t Wanna Be Me. I think that’s their most popular song as of recently (thanks to TikTok). This song has the lyrics:
Two steps forward, three steps back
Without warning, heart attack
He fell asleep in the snow
Never woke up, died alone
In this autobiographical song about his own addictions, Peter Steele predicted his own death. Steele ended up dying of an unexpected heart attack seven years after the release of this song and album. It really adds to the legend of this band in my opinion, while not really being something that gets brought up often. It also just happens to be my favorite song in their entire discography

I’m not as familiar with a lot of rock/punk as I’d like tbh. I’ve always loved rock but I mostly just listen to random songs rather than bands. i like older rock like the rolling stones and fleetwood mac and some older metal like metallica and black sabbath.
I love 90s rock but I also still listen to a lot of my middle school emo music like pierce the veil, three days grace, panic at the disco, my chemical romance lol
I’m super basic but i'd say my fav bands would prob be nirvana, muse, the smashing pumpkins and paramore.
if anyone wants to give me some recs feel free to share this is my reminder to branch out and listen to new music

Ultraviolence + Honeymoon are like divine combo that will never be topped by anyone, the best album duo of all time. There's something magical about them that goes together in my mind even though they sound so different. Her magnum opus. And I state this opinion as fact!

When she releases the 10 year anniversary edition with several outtakes and Madly blows up on TikTok and goes number 1 for 17 weeks and gets a music video and inspires Lana to do an entire album in the vein of Madly and we get Ultraviolence 2.0 and she wins SOTY for Dragonslayer and her team realises how much potential there is in her releasing her unreleased music so they officially release AKA along with several mixtapes of pre-BTD scraps and then also drops a Honeymoon 10 year anniversary edition in 2025 followed up by the Lust for Life 10 year anniversary edition in 2027 and we finally get Roses Bloom For You in studio quality yupppp yuppppppp

I cannot believe the G&R slander im seeing rn... people see one clip of an unleaked homemade music video and turn into animals ig
Guns And Roses is a beautiful song with beautiful production and lyrics
The electric guitar and reverb drum combination is spectacular and the las vegas motorcycle wedding a&w photoshoot imagery eats every time i listen
Motorcycle love divine
I should have learned to let you play
I wasn't the marrying kind
I should have done it anyway
We should have left Las Vegas
And then began again
Took your bike to Detroit
Back to the promised land
one of her best verses, but ig some ppl arent ready to hear that yet

see the sea, I'm a supernova
I walk on water and I dance like Joplin
when the sun descends, I dive into the waves again
no hold barred, I was sent to destroy
swim across my blue lake
come into my boat house
eat my birthday cake
take all your clothes off
you don’t wanna break me down
you don't wanna say goodbye and
you don't wanna turn around
you don't wanna make me cry but
you caught me once, maybe on the flipside I could catch you again
you caught me once, maybe on the flipside you could catch me again

Even though they’re the greatest band ever, I’ll never understand why Depeche Mode is hardly played on the radio…
