I just made this comment for someone else in here. Check out some of that stuff if you’re interested

So this guy’s meme actually hits pretty close to my music tastes somehow lmao. I think it’s got to be because I grew up with Linkin Park and halo. So that set my path into metal, electronic, and liking chants/shanties. My tastes have grown and changed but generally the meme is right lol.

Metal

Good intro metal bands of various subgenres (featuring catchy clean vocal parts frequently)

• Wage war. - https://youtu.be/zKYL0WXVaTs

• Memphis mayfire - https://youtu.be/rwPODGGwFn0

• Bring me the horizon - https://youtu.be/Jq4NhAnnD0Q

• Motionless in white - https://youtu.be/Pj2miRJ6bZs

• Sleep token - https://youtu.be/vFHBOKa_ZG0

• Atreyu - https://youtu.be/PqCt54Wx2e0

• Bad omens - https://youtu.be/h31THl8shy4

• In Flames - https://youtu.be/4OkSsFsXLD8

Electronic

Currently I listen to a lot of retro EDM. Synth wave specifically. It’s like modern EDM writing a lover letter to the 80s we all see in stranger things. Which, unironically I love the intro to that show. Music like the Weeknds blinding lights fits under this umbrella of genres (https://youtu.be/4NRXx6U8ABQ).

Shout-out to Phonk as a genre too. It’s great for studying or background for working

For sea shanties, the assassin’s creed rogue and ac black flag soundtrack has great versions or real shanties.

Also look up the dreadnaughts

They are polka and shanties. It’s awesome.

The longest John’s are another sea shanty / folk song band that rules.

And the monk chants for me really is just the halo menu music lol. It’s the best game music I’ve ever heard.

I would just click on this stuff and see if you like anything. There’s so much more to these genres than what I’m posting.

Disclaimer: This is just a taste and I just picked some stuff quickly and randomly

Inb4 “sleep token isn’t metal”

My guess is that people are nerdy and passionate.

There’s going to be a lot of overlap of people who have access to the info and want to play that same tank/jet/boat/whatever in war thunder.

And when the game isn’t right or someone is telling you you’re wrong the allure of playing the forbidden knowledge card gets too enticing to resist lol
