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.)
“I want chicken, I want liver, meow mix meow mix please deliver!”
You monster, that’ll be stuck in my head all night.
Listen to Baby Shark to get the meow mix song out.
Sounds like septicflesh - communion
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It’s so outdated and sexist, yet I love it.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:
You might like Basic Element
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.😂
No no,
if you’re talking about Clown Core…
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
Girl anachronism - Dresden Dolls

Coin-operated boy
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.
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.
Vitas has a phenomenal vocal range.
Catchy tunes and a variety of styles. But this video, as catchy as the tune is, is just… bonkers. The outfit is … something, the technique he uses while singing is … yeah. It’s that weird.
And this one I’m not ashamed to share… and is the one that brought him to my attention (especially when it gets to the hook) years back when it was making the rounds.
That first one is definitely something, but I appreciate the glitter sperm vibe lmao
I can just imagine Lady Gaga taking one look and going “that’s too much”
7th Element goes so hard
It’s a shame Vitas kinda seems embarrassed by it. There’s a video where he performed it a few years ago, and he’s really low energy about it, lip syncing to a recording of it.
I supposed he’s more into the traditional ballads he sings.
I fucking love me some Vitas.
It’s a shame he kinda gets memed on because of the goofiness of 7th element. The song itself is great with a catchy, kinda relaxing tune. But the stage performance is pretty interesting too. The costumes and the puppet like motions of the background dancers is really wild.
Trailer Park Boys - The Kittyman Sea Shanty
Who could dislike a cat version of the wellerman? I love it!
this has been my ringtone for many years now
Any song from a cartoon musical… They’re so damned catchy though!
Animaniacs - Yakko’s World

You’re welcome. 👍
An amazing song, I never learned it past Brazil though lmao
I’m still working on trying to memorize…
George Carlin - Modern Man
I think my favorite in that genre might just be Prince Ali, is that kinda what you were thinking?
Very much so, yes lol
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!
Released literally this week: On-lyne “Party of your lifetime”. It’s from an upcoming update for a game called Warframe, and it’s basically distilled 90s boyband earworm. It’s like Backstreet Boys and N Sync had a bunch of boy babies, fed them crack and taught them to sing. And for some reason I unironically LOVE it - I’ve been listening to it on repeat for hours, I need help :P
Haha, there’s no help. That’s fantastic, I’m hit right in the boy band nostalgia! It’s kinda hard to believe sometimes how good video game music has gotten.
Thing is, I want really a fan of boybands back then, so I have no idea why it hit me so hard now - I didn’t hate them, but I preferred other things. This song though, welp, hook, line and sinker. I even love the silly wink-wink-nodge-nudge lines like “boys are in sync” - I’m literally listening to the song as I write this, but the way :D
Gimme Chocolate!! - BABYMETAL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5YEmFJF9Mw
My heart is made of bubblegum eurodance so basically all of it is too infantile and silly for most anyone to get into it.
Erasure - Always. Perhaps I’m mostly ashamed because of how I picked this song up, from an old Flash game. Or perhaps of the lyrics being kind of bad, but the musical part is so awesome that I can’t help it.
ROBOT UNICORN ATTAAAAAAAAAAACK
I think that was the first endless runner that I’ve played. It all felt so stupid, but so sublime
Adult swim mobile games were so fun!
I think everyone on 4chan was in love with that song when the flash game was hot, myself included.
And me. (I was often in 4chan back then) Still, the song is still stuck in my head, after all those years.
