I just discovered Simulacra by Cloud People thanks to a review on Angry Metal Guy. It's spaced out jazz/synthwave fusion, mostly instrumental with voice-over samples for flavor, and I'm really grooving to it.

Marcus Miller plays a mean bass.

Finished Half Life 2 Episode 2 the other day, and I've been listening to the ost on repeat. These two especially are BANGERS Last Legs, Vortal Combat.

fred again maybe....!! Listen now!!!!

I know this isn't going to make sense to most old gen aged people that probably would frequent a forum like this (including myself in this category), but I have been listening to Bladee and Drain Gang over just about everything else.

I didn't always listen to music like this obviously. I got kind of bored with all types of rock music at some point though. Around the late 2010s, like very close to 2020, I started transitioning into vaporwave.

Don't get me wrong. I still like every genre I listened to from the past. I just don't make room in my brain to bring it out and explore it anymore. It's all been relegated to nostalgia and, "Oh yeah I remember this!" There are times I do go back, but I mostly moved forward into this post-Internet landscape of avant garde music.

This lead me to cloud rap of the early 2010s, and this lead towards hyperpop... and yeah. That is the story of how I became a late 30s-aged drainer.

I'm still into rock music, particularly heavy metal, but I had also started digging into synthwave and jazz in my late 30s. Vaporwave doesn't really do it for me, though.

Understandable. If I had to pick a type of rock music I was most into, it would be like post-hardcore from the 90s. Orchid. Saetia. Anything on Level Plane records.

I also like indie rock and punk, although again, I don't make time for either much anymore.

If I had to pick a metal genre I liked the most it would probably be the kind of stuff Burzum makes, although I don't like that guy as a person at all.
