Obligatory forum: what are you listening to thread

[Furboy Strummer]

What type of music do you like? What are you listening to now? Etc.

I've recently been obsessed with original rock and roll and rockabilly, both modern and classic. Formerly been a punk purist.

Open to pretty much anything with a good beat. Even better with relatable or fun lyrics. I tend to mostly listen to punk rock, punk pop and a little bit of metal, lighter metal, not too much screaming, just a good guitar.
I will avoid rap like the trash it is. R and B, jazz, and hip hop are right up there with some exceptions. Todays top artists aren't all that great but some older stuff from people with talent is okay in moderation.

If it's not an intrusion, how old(even ballpark) are you? I found my interest in punk waning as I got older and replacing itself with rockabilly. Not sure if it's my version of a midlife crisis or if that's the general progression. Had a conversation once where the person I was talking to indicated it was a common progression.

As far as rap....I have mixed feelings. Mainstream, for the most part I tend to dislike, but the more underground, more political and socially conscious(or "woke" as the kids today are apparently saying) stuff I'm ok with....

I won't ball park my age just for over protection but I can tell you I've been listing to punk, rock and metal for at least 10 years. It doesn't fade with all people. I was never a full on metal head with black band tees going to concerts and drinking all night. I just enjoy it for its lyrics. Lyrics of past troubles, thinking about quitting but pushing through, loss, and what ever else.

Yeah, I still get the urge to go back and listen to bands I like occasionally, so hasn't faded completely, but the looking into new bands and involvement in the community definitely has.

I love how empowering punk and metal can be for those very type of lyrics. Years ago, a metalhead friend shared an article about a study that showed people who listened to metal tended to be more psychologically well-balanced than those who didn't.

Interesting article. I am pretty well balanced. Well, I mean I haven't lashed out at anyone despite any stresses or triggers... The music is empowering, some people fear it so it gives an added bonus.

Music for relaxation

What music do you listen to when you want to unwind or chill?

Any musicians here?

I’m a drummer and guitar player. I can drum to and play guitar to almost every Green Day song.

Band/Artist ABC’s

This was a staple on the late and great beastforum... let’s see if we can make it work on ZV! It can be a band, solo artist, or duo group, as long as it’s musical. I’ll start us off with... Alice In Chains ?

Cool. This thread has nothing to do with being a musician and is not about artists that start with a specific letter nor music specifically for relaxation purposes, just general enjoyment.

Music Genre Preferences

In honor of Zoo Pride, I'm looking into starting work on an album of original music in all styles for zoos to enjoy. Hopefully I can get artists than myself involved, mainly because I have a squeaky tenor voice that serves some genres better than others. But of course, that raises the question...

What music are you listening to right now?

I'm a lover of music and am always looking for new material from different genres. If I can find some new music through you guys, and maybe introduce others to mine that would be pretty swell. Let me know what you're listening to, or maybe your favorite song and provide a link! (My boy only...
