All of them. I listen to japanese music.
My brother one time went like “you know what? I want to listen to some of your music. Show me a good one you listened to recently”
We listened to the full song, and then he went “this is shit.”
Man, my buddies and I were really into jrock. Asian Kung Fu Generation, High and Mighty Color, Orange Rave, Beat Crusaders. So much good stuff
I love AKFG, High and Mighty Color - would also recommend RADWIMPS, Daoko, SHISHAMO
…does it include enka? I’m ashamed to admit that I like enka, even to other people who listen to Japanese music. (Mostly Keiko Fuji and Akira Kobayashi.)
Anything from Epic Rap Battles of History. While I love them, I do understand others do not.
Dude, they’re the best! The beats, the weirdly awesome announcer voice, the music videos with way too much production budget somehow, and (mostly) historically accurate raps!
But yes, most people I want to show them to would immediately shut it off and shout “language!” Like Captain America.
I remember being enamoured by the backgrounds on the James Bond vs Austin Powers when I got my first phone with an amoled display. That and they were the jumping off point for so much learning for me!
Gimme Chocolate!! - BABYMETAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5YEmFJF9Mw
Pretty much anything by Kesha. I’m known, in my group of friends to be somewhat of a music snob and quasi audiophile… Kesha is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.
Just make sure you listen to her new stuff, she gets nothing from the old stuff, I think.
New stuff is wild though, she certainly aged alongside me and I’m hear for it.
Gunther and the Sunshine girls - Ding Dong Song
It’s so outdated and sexist, yet I love it.
Oooh, you touch my tralala.
Oooh, muy ding ding dong
banger of a background track starts
That guy looks like Joost Klein, from Eurovision
Joost: Gunther:
A bunch of anime music.
This Suno-generated abomination, along with several more bass heavy songs I asked it to put together for fun.

I think this is the ideal use of AI, the dumb stuff that would be expensive to convince someone to sit down and create.
Anything by the Carpenters
A once in a generation voice of pure velvety chocolate. No shame there.
I thought of another one. It’s rare I recommend this to anyone but another musician, so I think you’ll appreciate it as a drummer.
Hell by Clown Core
I recommend Clown Core all the time, but yeah it’s not for normies
So because you reminded that Clown Core exists, I caught up with their recent discography on my phone with headphones. However, about five minutes ago the audio from computers on my phone “suddenly cut out”. I think my mom started up her car, and because I connected the Bluetooth to the car at some point in the
futurepast, the phone instantly decided “yeah let’s pump the user’s audio into this device, I’m sure that’s what he wants”, even though headphones were plugged in, without prompting me 😳.I.e., I think my mom got a few seconds of surprise Clown Core.
She knows I like metal but I don’t know how to explain this 🤣.
On the upside, I’m pretty sure she didn’t understand the lyrics.😂
I’m surprised there’s no kpop here
Girls Generation was always my guilty pleasure from back when kpop was first starting to blow up in the West.
“I want chicken, I want liver, meow mix meow mix please deliver!”
Sounds like septicflesh - communion
You monster, that’ll be stuck in my head all night.
Listen to Baby Shark to get the meow mix song out.
I came here to say Fuck You
(the song by Lilly Allen, not actually to you…)
I’m a big fan of the Tiger Lillies, partly because they are so transgressive and weird, and in 2024 it’s quite hard to justify to anyone why you’re listening to a man with a child’s voice yell “I like sticking red hot pokers up the local choir boy’s bums…” in a song called Kick A Baby (Down the Stairs)
Nothing recent, but way back, I was embarrassed that it was called girl anachronism and all about being a girl because I was still a wee lad trying to assert his manliness. “Just a girl” by no doubt, same reason.
Actually, coin-operated boy was a pretty close second

I hope you’ve kept up with Amanda Palmer though, because she’s actually awesome!
Oh for sure, saw her live, still listen to them.
They’re great.
