A subreddit dedicated to listening and discussing all types of music, with a lean towards music outside of the mainstream.

You can find our rules and guidelines for the sub here.

POSTING GUIDELINES

1. You can post discussion about any artist, any genre of music, any era, etc.

2. In terms of posting music, only post music (either songs or full albums) that has been released in the past 7 days and follow our tagging guidelines below. The only exception to this rule will be on our weekly Throwback Thursdays, when you can post any song from any era. Please post a direct link to the song or album.

3. When writing a self-post, please make a thread that will generate real discussion beyond the first response of the thread. Try to create a discussion that is nuanced and can have substantive replies. Examples of posts that do NOT meet this criteria: "Does anyone else..." posts, "What is the name of that one song..." posts, posts that are only a yes/no response, "What is the best [insert genre here] album ever?" posts, and "Why do people like this song/band/album?" posts. The only exception to this rule, however, is our weekly Shitpost Sundays, where you can post any type of self-post that you'd like.

4. Please post every Throwback Thursday in a self post with a description of why you are posting this song. This only needs to be a paragraph or two long, but give us some background on what the song means to you. This is to spark a little discussion when posting music to the sub.

FORMATTING GUIDELINES

1. When posting, please use the Artist-Song Title format.

2. Do your best to stylize the artist/album/song name in the same way that the artist prefers.

3. This table will explain when to use each tag.

COMMUNITY DJ SETS

Every other week, we create our own "DJ sets." You may include up to 10 songs in your setlist, and please keep your set to one song per artist. They can be themed, or they can just 10 of your favorite songs at that moment. It's a great opportunity to share and find new music. Here are all our sets (links are to Spotify):
