I mainly listen to black metal but I have yet to "get" war metal. It's not that it just sounds like noise or anything like that, it's more that it seems like super stressful listening. After 1½ tracks I often tire out it seems. I do want to try do enjoy it though.

So my question is perhaps less "what bands/records should and listen to?" and more "what elements in the music should I try to pay attention to?"

or really anything alike strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde. i own and am planning on reading frankenstein, dracula, and rebecca but after that im lost lol.

wasnt too into reading before finishing jekyll n hyde for school but now i am pretty interested in reading more, particularly [but not limited to stuff] alike it

The entire year before the hospital cut me up ..I was fighting for my life. .I'd been kicked extremely hard in the stomach by a kindergartener and I puked three days straight and was having difficulty getting out of bed in the morning to go make $8/hour and have the strength to chase children. I had issues with my throat and stomach. I had no car. I had family issues at home where my own family was working against my little family of 3 instead of with us. I had sprained my wrist (maybe even fractured it) and almost cracked my shoulder blade trying out a new skateboard. I was doing all the yardwork (other than mowing). I was catching poison I've every other week. I was dealing with emotional, mental and sexual abuse...I was having silent seizures from the anxiety medication I was taking and was being attacked by everyone verbally for not listening or doing what was asked of me (which made me shutdown even more)...It's been a really difficult process healing mentally, physically, sexually and emotionally basically all through my own process. I'm grateful I'm still here...how do I even step back into this world though. I barely have the energy or strength to be around others anymore...I try to just save my good moments for my husband and son. I just want to find a way to make an income and help my family...since I haven't ever made good money in my life. Is there any way to do life honestly and make it out okay?

I’ve listened to Decade, Rust Never Sleeps and Everyone Knows This is Nowhere, and I absolutely loved all three. I particularly gravitate towards the Like a Hurricane and Cortez the Killer type songs, but I do adore the softer folkier stuff like old man and my my hey hey

I’ve heard some asap stuff here and there but I can’t sit through an album. I like his style but I just don’t know where to start

I've seen a few Lynch movies.

I'm looking to find songs or artists similar to the style Night Lovell showcased in his "Concept Vague" album. I've been listening to this album for a long time, and it always evokes this strange sensation and specific memories for me. It transports me to this wooded, rainy place that I adore. I'm especially fond of the tracks "Beneath," "Off Air," and "Trees of The Valley." tyvm

Well, that is it, ive never been a person who listens that much of music, but because of several aspects, now I feel lost and dont know wich bands or artists to hear at all and understand nothing about genres and such, recently went on my first concert ever, then I wanted to really listen more music than Im used to (like, two or three bands i think)
Would like some recommendations, could be bands, some albuns, idk.

Never studied economy or politics / IR in school. Want to learn more about the economy from a sociopolitical lens. But there’s just so much I don’t know, and I don’t know where to start. I want to learn about what marxism is, capitalism, economic fascism, but I don’t even know what the exact definitions of labour, free market, decentralized economy etc are.

What can introduce me to the basic terms / concepts or groundwork of economy without consuming too much time?

Hi everyone

Can someone give me recommendations about Star Wars Expanded Universe. I was always interested about it, have no idea what to read first.

So I'm trying to find songs, artists or genre that encapsulates the vers in "Taylor Swifts version - is it over now"

"And did you think I didn't see you? There were flashing lights At least I had the decency To keep my nights out of sight Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs And my whispered sighs Oh, Lord, I think about Jumping off of very tall somethings Just to see you come running And say the one thing I've been wanting But no"

I'm not worried about the lyrics just more so the way Taylor delivers the lyrics

another song that I've found that gives the vibe I want is " Jessica - I'm not pretty "

I'm sorry this is hard to describe what I'm looking for but I thought I'd shoot my shot here

Hi, I am 30 and what I think is tone deaf. I want to learn a musical instrument to understand music better. I have no interest or plans to perform or add to the musical world. I also know very well that I have full time professions and my interest can change with time, so I don't want a big financial investment to start with. I also have families and I don't want to disturb anyone with my experiments. So, can't play with speakers. Only headphones. So, I think a digital instrument will be it. Which instrument should I use? Amongst the instruments I looked up, midi instruments seemed a better choice. Keyboard or drums seemed easier to learn than say guitar or violin stuff. My musical preference is progressive metal, blues that sort of stuff. From my research so far- Launchpad or Mini midi keyboard Not sure whether mini midi keyboard will cause limitations. For now, I am happy with anything that will be fine for atleast an year. Any suggestions?

I am aware commercial album is their most famous but I am not 100% sure wether I should start with it.

Where should I start? Well.. I still know all albums from the velvet underground and I love them! But I want to dive into his solo work.

Would you have recommended to start with VU without that information? (Just curious). Which work do you prefer, solo or VU?

WDIS. Should I start with the stooges or is there anyone who says he/she prefers his solo work? What album(s) to start with?

So, I've been a performing/recording musician and music reporter for most of my adult life. But almost counterintuitively, I have a massive gap in general awareness of anything from before my time. My parents were ultra Jesusy and my dad threw away all his "secular" records when I was born, so I was only really exposed to shitty CCM music until I was old enough to find an escape in small time punk bands touring through a punk club in my home town (mid-2000s).

I want to expose myself to new shit though, and learn more about movements and trends I might've been exposed to if my parents weren't so closed off. I'm working my way back in time starting with the 90s.

I have no genre limitations. Stuff I loved growing up was 2000s punk/emo/goth/post hardcore or whatever (MCR, AFI, Brand New, Envy on the Coast as some examples). Im particularly drawn to well written lyrics, especially if they're dramatic with a lot of imagery. That said, I don't want to limit myself.

Give me whatever I should hear, I'll listen to everything posted here.

I would love to get into this band but I can't seem to find anything about them because of the obvious ingenuity in the way they called themselves.

I'm mainly looking for a rundown of their discography, the difference in sound and such between albums.

I have so much to say that I don't no where to begin. I'm not sure where I post to be engaged with or impactful in even the smallest ways. I'm a 41 year old black American woman with a huge story that branches off like the tributaries of the Mississippi lol. Really would like to speak to people outside my circle. Need the opinions and insight of those looking in at the picture my thoughts paint. Basically I want to be active on Reddit as an outlet for my soul. From the darkest corners on the parts of me with so much light. My initial and only other post kind of spoke on the dynamic with my father but I definitely can go more into that maybe with questions. Talk about my kids. How I view social issues, just anything. Just don't know what sub to pick and how to go about using this platform. Anyway, I usually listen to Reddit stories all the time. Just want to participate and if anyone wants to nudge in aa direction me or just talk please do.

I'm guessing her latter albums but which one?

ive been mildly interested in having a go at listening for a while now and i simply don't know where to start, im not familiar with any particular songs nor bands so im completely fresh to this, only recognise it from clips of audio from other social media. im mostly into industrial metal but yknow i want to expand my music taste more

I'm slightly familiar with both Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, but where do I go from here?

Always wanted to get into them just don’t know where to start
