ive only heard a little visual kei myself, DADAROMA, kizu, Rakugaki, and another one i cant remember the name of cos it was something like xx-aa or some shit

[DeadSeaOfMercury 19,185]

Yes

[Ultra Violet 18,421]

I don't think Spotify has the options to look at genres like that, as far as I know, but wow, TASTE,! Your list is excellent. I think mine would be most of what you listed too. 

 

Would you be so kind to share with me who the artists are that are Gothic Rock & Gothic Metal? I'm curious 

[Glitter Boy 16,202]

Lol I guess my iTunes Genre tag is very unorganised, I usually sublabel everything I have on either Pop, Alternative or Indie so

But I'd say I have:

Synthwave

Pop

Electropop

Indie pop

Alternative

Alternative rock

Chamber pop

Folk

Electronic

Rock

Art pop

Hip-Hop/Rap

 

Mostly.

ive very recently started going through everythign and adding the sub genres rather than just having pop, alternative, rock, metal, etc

its kinda therapeutic tbh

im not done separating everything by genre so the list is definitely missing artists, plus i use lossless so a lot has been moved to my shared google drive

gothic metal - In This Moment (my fav album by them and maybe of all time?)

Gothic Rock - Evanescence

 

thats literally it at this point

i suggest to avoid BTS unless you wanna turn yourself off of the genre as a whole

i actually kept a youtube playlist of most of 100+ songs i first listened to from the K-Pop/J-pop/etc genres

Ah sweet, I'm still a big Evanescence fan, always  I never gave ITM much of a go, but I will now because my sister also loves them.

imo, skip the first album except for the title track. its v unpolished but the title track is amazing.

i'd rank the albums in this order

1. Black Widow
2. Blood
3. A Star- Crossed Wasteland
4. Ritual
5. The Dream / Call Me EP (theres a live version of Into the Light on the best of compilation that i definitely suggest listening to)
6. Mother
7. leave Beautiful Tragedy for last  

[Mer 51,830]

Two. Pop and Indie/alt. 

[BartenderDeco 19,402]

the main genres i listen to are pop, alt/indie, r&b, rap/hiphop

[Surf Noir 188,602]

i like many different styles of music

 

i’d say i like alternative, i feel like “alternative” can mean a lot of different things, but the only alternative artist i can think of is lana del rey, her music is just so unique & isn’t like anything else i’ve heard elsewhere

i like rock, some rock artists i like include grunge musicans (nirvana, alice in chains, & soundgarden) & there’s quite a few rock songs i like (sweet child o’ mine, stairway to heaven), also 60’s rock (the doors)

surf noir

i really love songs which are psychedelic, atmospheric, melancholic, slow & moody (mazzy star, certain songs by the doors, certain songs by lana)

acoustic, folky stuff is very enjoyable

i also quite like songs which are long (6+ minutes)

i like pop music if it’s quality & creative, pop music from the 2000s is a good example of this

i like quality songwriting & poetic lyrics

 

i really need to discover more artists though  i feel like i’m only truly familiar with a few

[Blue Ink 5,897]

For some reason the artists I listen to can't really be described by one genre.

Like, what genre is Lana? "Alternative"? That's so unspecific. She's good at doing anything really.

 

I definitely like rock influences and I listen to 60s and 70s rock like the Stones for example. But other than that I don't even know what genre the other artists and bands are...

[Alison by Slowdive 26,016]

hmm a lot 

 

Spoiler

in general, i love a lot of the early alternatives and new wave - talking heads, new order, the smiths, lou reed, cocteau twins, CAN, david bowie, the cure, etc.

 

branching off, i like dream pop and shoegaze a lot - the radio dept., mbv, pale saints, broadcast, slowdive - i feel v at home in this kind of music, and love its ambient/meditative qualities

 

loveee rock and its variations - psychedelic rock (funkadelic, the doors, the zombies, pink floyd, the beach boys, pink floyd, the rolling stones), country rock (neil young, roy orbison), experimental rock (slint, stereolab, the velvet underground, etc.), and folk rock (crosby stills nash n young !! + george harrison's influence on the beatles as well as his solo work, america, bread, etc.)

 

i just love folk in general and the contemplative tone/focus on lyricism - nico, tim buckley, vashti bunyan, elliott smith, leonard cohen, may jailer 

 

have to credit lana w helping me discover a love for jazz bc i was so curious why she loved the genre sm. then i discovered the likes of pharoah sanders, dorothy ashby, yusef lateef, malatu astatke, john coltrane, alice coltrane, miles davis, gabor szabo, etc. i especially love when the sound is spiritual and/or experimental (jazz fusion), like david axelrod. and bossa nova like astrud gilberto 

 

will always love r&b and soul (isaac hayes, shuggie otis, ray charles, ottis redding, marvin gaye, al green, allen touissant, the supremes, dusty springfield). 60s country/pop musicians like skeeter davis, patsy cline, nancy sinatra, the shangri-las, peggy lee. 

 

and disco which decidedly does NOT suck (pino d'angio is a vibe, as well as revival disco like todd terje + the avalanches) and electronic music that leans experimental (vangelis, ryuichi sakamoto + his band yellow magic orchestra is v good)

 

alternative hip hop w jazz/soul/funk influence. i'm thinking mf doom + a tribe called quest <3

 

y2k techno is also rly fun - air, washed out, toro y moi, daft punk + aughts britney and gwen stefani forever

 

then i also love ambient music - brian eno ofc (tho i love his other more experimental rock stuff too, like his album w john cale, or w david byrne - regiment might be one of the best songs ever) + aphex twin, boards of canada, harold budd

 

i like heavy metal - black sabbath, led zeppelin. then it warps into doom metal stuff too like sleep and electric wizard, again for its meditative quality

 

then there are some artists i find difficult to place: lana and arthur russell come to mind tho they are v different from each other

 

in the end, i just love any music that has a dreamy/ethereal quality to its sound or lyricism, and i can find it in a lot of genres <3 umm lol i couldn't just list this shit
