My genre du jour changes every bloody week depending on whatever I happen to unearth during a crate dig or a hop around t'Internet, but my fail-safes:
- Jamaican Ska, Rocksteady, Roots, Dub, Dancehall (up to the mid-80s)
- Folk (assuming it's escapist and makes me think of a time I wasn't alive to experience)
- House, Techno, Acid, Old Skool D&B/Jungle c. mid 80s-early 00s (what masquerades as 'house' currently is tantamount to shite if you ask me)
- indie pop/80s twee
- 60s/70s Tropicalia/MPB (obrigado Bruno)
- first-wave punk/post-punk (so '76-84ish) - more DIY the better. "It was easy, it was cheap, go and do it!"
- 80s (mainly US) hardcore
- spiritual jazz (a late discovery, but I'm disappearing down the rabbit hole...)
- 60s garage rock and girl bands
- 70s soul and funk, the more off-kilter the better
Can't find much 21st century stuff that really gets me in the groove. The trials and tribulations of being middle-aged, I guess. Or maybe I'm looking under the wrong stones. _________________ 'Reggae' & t'ing

I saw your chart and I'm checking out that Lydia Ainsworth album. Given your description of your tastes this seems like the kind of thing a person of your tastes would get into. It's like Never for Ever meets Kid A. |
the dreaming is fantastic! and yes I like that description of the album _________________ My top songs of the 2010s

All strands of rap. A lot of reggae, but particularly lovers' rock, early dancehall, roots, dub. Soul, funk, disco, r'n'b (in the more modern sense), quiet storm. Sophistipop, synthpop, soft rock, art pop. Folk, folk rock, singer/songwriter. Hard bop, post-bop, free jazz, third stream. Jazz funk and soul jazz. Krautrock, post-punk, shoegaze, dream pop, post-rock. UK punk, indie rock, some power pop, some midwest-style emo. House, UK garage, drum'n'bass, grime, dubstep, footwork. Minimal techno, IDM, ambient, kosmische synth, glitch. Stoner metal, doom, drone metal. Afrobeat. That probably covers it. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.

Over the past couple years my preferred genre has been a type of folky singer-songwriter that is kind of hard to classify, but which has a certain kind of lyrical style and often has long, evolving songs. Jason Molina is my favorite artist in this style, but Mark Kozelek, Bill Callahan, and Phil Elverum also fall into that bucket. I also kind of associate more recent acts like Big Thief and Phoebe Bridgers with that style a bit, and even Norman Fucking Rockwell kind of fits that mold. Big Thief's "Not" could be a Molina cover and Bridgers's lyrical style is right up my alley. This has also kind of overlapped with an interest in slowcore and alt-country but I haven't done nearly as much digging into those genres as I'd like.
Alternative and indie rock was my first musical interest and it's still there, though I've been digging through older stuff and kind of ignoring the new. Fair or unfair a lot of the old stuff is more up my alley and the new stuff just doesn't sound quite as innovative. I also got really into Midwest emo a couple years back but I haven't really dug past the classics in that genre. Lately the rock genres I've been digging more into are noise rock and post-hardcore, and the place where those intersect is kind of my sweet spot.
Recently I got more into soul and funk, and I've found that afro-funk is my preferred type of funk. Recently I discovered I like some jazz as well, but similarly the type of jazz I like is often spiritual, jazz-funk, or afro-jazz. I've also been trying to dig into more electronic music but I often struggle with it because it's not as song-based and songs I fall in love with are often what make albums stick. But I do dig a lot of the more repetitive, slow evolving stuff, and if you slap some vocal samples on top of it I'll be all over it. The Field and Blanck Mass are big favorites in that regard. Also a fan of metal but the more time passes the only subgenres I care about are doom (including stoner doom) and black metal.
Also a big hip hop fan, but it's really hard for me to define my hip hop preferences. A lot of the really conscious stuff annoys me but a lot of the gangsta rap on the other end of the spectrum also isn't really my thing. The artists I like tend to straddle the line a bit - think Outkast, Scarface, Freddie Gibbs, and even Danny Brown to an extent I guess. I also think I place a a heavier emphasis on beats than a lot of people since a lot of my listening is distracted at work and it makes it difficult to focus on lyrics; lyrics are still really important for hip hop but it's beats and production that really hook me. _________________ And it's hard to be a human being. And it's harder as anything else.
