    Maybe let's keep it to: post-punk, new wave, goth, deathrock, darkwave, coldwave, dark rock, gothic rock...maybe some synthpop? Something like that. Not sure if we should include industrial and related subgenres (martial industrial, neo-folk, EBM etc.) cuz that would be a bit too much maybe. I'm down for anything tho.

     

    @Heroin OMG the bands in your first post, I must check'em outttt! <3 Fun coincidence: I'm gonna go see Ash Code live tomorrow and they have a The Sound cover, heh. :D Asylum Party and Clan of Xymox are totally cool too.

     

    Another great cult coldwave group: Opéra de Nuit!

     

    Dude that covers sweet! Im a long waiting to hear a Sound cover live. Now that I would be something. If The Chameleons do a cover thatll be a super++!

     

    Oh and yeah! You should really give a listen to those bands. This Heat, I wanna say is very uneasy to listen to. The Pop Group I say its much more easy to get into. 

    Ill definitely message you some info and recommendations to the bands music.

    Asylum Party

    Can you hear it? It's speaking to my soul. *bobs head left and right*

    Now this band was part of the cold wave french movement during the mid 80s or so. You can definitely feel this band going through your soul. Such dark cold voice.

     

    Xymox/ Clan of Xymox

    Early 1980 4AD darkwave band which I really appreciate how Pieter Nooten (keyboards) just perfect the synths. An atmosphere you feel confined to endless swirls. With the songs that Anka Wolbert (bass) has written gives a much more gloomy feel.

    note: dont listen to CoX after anka and pieter split. just dont!

     

    Coldreams

    Very obscure coldwave band formed in the mid 80's. Give it a listen. Real great stuff.

    great fucking selection of bands yo

     

    this is dope! for a great amount of time of my life I listened post punk non stop! still do!

     

    The Sound

    ho ho I just changed my icon to the album Jeopardy, what a coincidence ;)

    Anyways 1979 post punk band with great sounds and feeling to their music. A lot of comparison to Joy Division, but personally for first listeners, you'll might say that. I listen to them a lot and by now I can barely relate but say they're both post punk bands.

    I can totally relate to the motivation that they were putting out to. I am totally sucked in to their music.

    note: very overlooked band and never hit high popularity

     

    This Heat

    One of the most greatest bands I've ever listened to. Very relatable to me and MIND BLOWING!

    They started in the late 70's post punk era creating the most horrific sounding music you'll hear. Though they arent really categorized any genre or type of music, but still hold some post punk into them. Experimental and industrial I see more as.

    What I found interesting is that their motivation of music if from fear! During the time of the missile crisis, it was a horrifying impact to peoples minds. Which I can clearly hear from their music.

     

    The Pop Group

    Lets put some funk into punk haha Mark Stewart -lead singer- knows how to project this unkindly scary voice, which made it so amazing! one ofa kind haha the same fear and paranoia inspired to make this music. fuckin end of the world

    oh boy such aggression to his voice and all the instruments combined. it was something I always wanted to project out and so this grabbed me very instantly.

     

    got more bands to share

    I have seen warnings before saying something along the lines of "You are sending too many requests to the server. If this continues then you will be banned". Perhaps you experienced a similar issue. I'd suggest trying again when your ban expires (which will hopefully be soon).

    yeah i tried it again and thats exactly what it said.

    i just exited before it banned me again.

     

    i have no idea what to do.

    My parents aren't at all in rock. Mostly french variety for my mother, so I had to built my rock side by myself.

     

    I remember when I was 10 (until 14), I listened to the radio mostly. I remember recording some songs on tape too. Mostly RnB, even rap (xDD), mostly pop (Britney Spears, Nelly Furtado, ...). All the popular stuff. My first """"rock""" album was Let Go from Avril Lavigne, I bought it when she wasn't even popular/on rotation everywhere yet (the price tag was still in francs! 87 francs; it's ~13€).

    When I was 14, I was at my best friend's house, and she'd borrowed a cd to her brother's friend who stayed there for some time, she told me this song in particular was great (she put the cd in the player so I could listen). It was In The End by Linkin Park. I loved it, the melody, the voice (who doesn't love this song btw?? it's pretty hard to hate it) and I bought the album, my first metal album. I still have it tho, even if the CD case is broken in 2 lmao this album is in 2 pieces 8D I still know this album by heart, I will never forget it (even if now, LP.......I'm not listening anymore but it's not the subject).

     

    I had a computer at home for the school (college), but no internet until I was 17. So it's wasn't easy to have access to music (we have no idea today how much internet ease our life). For the music discoveries, at age 15-16, I bought magazines with cd sampler monthly (so I could eventually buy albums when I was pleased with some songs; I discovered many bands this way), we exchange cd albums with friends so I could engraved it at home on a CD-R, I watched MTV-2 at home, via MySpace, I even remember buying albums only by looking the covers or by reading critics on mags !!!  My knowledge was pretty small until I've got the internet.

     

    At age 18, I was aware of the VK movement, via some blogs that I've followed which the owners was pretty into it (DIR EN GREY etc), but totally despised their mentality, example: "VK WILL RULE THE WORLD !!1!1!1" GUUUURL. Completely by chance (don't ask me how, cannot remember), I've heard In Vain by D'espairsRay and I loved it (I remember the song because of the electro beat). This was my first listening, until I slipped totally in the genre one or two years later (GUUUUURL!) xD

     

    So until today, I had phases, with differents genres and so many bands that today I've hard times to follow everything (and to be really focused on what I listen, if you know what I mean). Internet is a benediction but can also be a curse xD. I try by now to focus on some bands/artists only, I don't have the time to follow everyone today.

     

    That's it for me.

     

    We all for the most part had fallen for the mainstream media. but thank goodness we were able to find good music.

     

    and oh lord, in a sense it does feel like a curse. too many great, interesting bands to listen to, that I have a giant list of bands/ era in music that I need to look through.

     

    i used to listen to basically nothing but pop music in english. i'd always been interested in rhythm games, so that was my first exposure to jpop basically. from pop i listened to stuff usually recommended by my irl friends which consisted of rock music and like 90s alternative. then i started to get bored of all music so i was looking for a way to find more music so i made a lastfm. then i started to try out new genres but i was still uneasy. then i joined turntable.fm back in 2011 or something and started hanging out in a japanese/anime music room and my interest grew and i started trying out random albums from there based on songs i liked. that was around when i started listening to full albums for once. then from turntable i got interested in other east asian music and then somehow i ended up where i am now. i dont like to limit myself to any specific language or genre anymore because that's boring.

     

    thats a great ideal! definitely don't limit yourself to music!

    That's great dude! When I was young I always envy people that had parents listening to metal. I always thought extreme music was the coolest! Also nice on X JAPAN, its a great way to go, though yeah it probably exposed more to metal than the Jrock scene. It gave me that impression for sure.

    Never been in a relationship. Generally not looking for one, but I am a sucker when I'm being noticed by people that I feel attracted to. Its more in dept than that but its a bit personal.

     

    Though I'll say this, being in a relationship would probably give much distraction.

    I enjoyed reading peoples backstory of their music taste. So I'm bumping it up again. Im curious to see more of peoples history with music. Shows a lot to where youre coming from. A lot of love

     

    I would like to add on more to my experiences with music.

    When it comes to my parents I kinda despised whatever they liked, which was a lot of the spanish radio. Oh boy it drove me nuts listening to their music in the car! Though some songs I do remember listening to really hit me, but I never knew who were the artists. But man they were great nostalgic songs. So that really didnt lead anywhere with my taste in music except exclude cliche mexican bands/artist lol 

     

    As I mention before, Billy Corgan changed a certain view on music, which is, I got bored with poppy sounding music. As a child I remember liking different things than other children, so I was like hey! Why not like different sounds? Basically thats how it went down : p

     

    My way with music at a young age was always trying to find something different. Being different was my whole being.

     

    I grew on a lot of punk and metal. Anything that gave aggression, and I thank the Tony Hawk games. Really my only source of listening to new music. (btw I got all Tony Hawk games heheh)

     

    edit: also I like to thank the people that shared.

    all I have to say is that I never had internet until I was 18.

     

    do I express myself as a rocker? fuck yeah! I have the heart and soul haha

     

    what I see around me are just boring mother fuckers, dressing the same like all the local yokels

    all that sub culture is just dead. did meet the coolest people that live on to these past cultures. straight up industrial people, goth, punk, hippie. and they're all saying the same thing about the diversity of people and where the scenes are.

     

    its more of a feeling to actually define if a certain place feels more "real" industrial or whatever sub culture youre in. thats just for me though.
