What’s two music genres that are polar opposites that nobody would expect you like? Mine is new rock and slow jazz, a lot of people are surprised when I say these are my favorites since rock is very loud and drums played with electric guitars doing cool stuff heavy and jazz is very calming with ‘solo talent during song multiple times to show they are really good’. I bet there is some crazier playlists than what I have but this …
This week’s trailers offered twists on familiar genres This week saw some fun trailers tapping into heady science fiction, comic book movies, and taboo horror, each with a fun mixed genre twist. Joker: Folie à Deux is a comic book movie about the love affair of The Joker and Harley Quinn that’s also a musical, and Apple TV Plus’ new Dark Matter series is a kidnapping thriller with an interesting alt…
How do you discover more genres of music? I had an aquaintance that knew a song and he texted me about it, and it was a psychedelic? song but it sounded sort of grungy. I want to ask him who the artist was because I forgot the song AND the artist, but i’m too shy to ask what it was again… I want to discover new genres myself and not just depending on this aquaintance for new tunes. Do…
Is it unusual to like all genres? I have realized in the past months that I like everything from hard rock to classical music. I’m roughly 15 years old. Does anyone also share this feeling of music? Also for context, I love music very much. And yes all kinds of music is all kinds, pop, rap, anything. submitted by /u/Burritomuncher2

Anyone else losing interest in genres as they’re getting older? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been through periods of my life where I leaned heavily towards one genre or another. I totally get one style of music connecting more for you at a certain part of your life. I’ve been through phases where I mostly listened to heavy metal, punk, post punk, classic rock, classic RnB, Americana, Reggae, or what have you mor…
What are the heaviest albums ever that are NOT part of any Rock or Metal genres? Like okay, obviously death metal or mopey sad emo rock or whatever is heavy. I want to know what’s heavy that doesn’t depend on heavy guitar riffs and loud distortion. I want something that sounds dark and grim, or that makes you want to jump up and break shit, or just cry. I’m inspired by the Run the Jewels album RTJ4, which is all rap and hip …
Songs with the best intros? Any and all genres please! What songs have the most memorable intros? You know, ones that really catch the listener’s attention. The learning center at my college is starting writing workshops, and some of them will focus on how to write a good hook: an attention-grabbing bit at the start that makes you want to read on. The plan is to use examples in music to help make th…
Music genres you find it hard to get into? R&B doesn’t really do it for me. The vocal styles turn me off so much. I do like some Altenative R&B that’s mixed with other genres enough that I can vibe with it. Country is probably a common thing for most to when it comes to getting into it. Just like R&B I got into some Alt Country for the same reasons and Gothic Country is also kinda appeal…
