Give us an example of it to listen to!

Lately I've been a huge sucker for a cappella choir covers. This is one of my current favorites, a cover of House of the Rising Sun: https://open.spotify.com/track/7jJNekvyQJMUTssYKMoPFU?si=7mhu4Ex3Qn6Y-9VeSodk2Q

It gets so powerful, I love it. I love what voices are capable of.

How do you like Scala and Kolacny Brothers?

I adore them, though I do wish they'd branch the style out a little bit? "Gorecki" is one of my favorite covers by them, and very nearly one of my favorite songs, but their catalogue on the whole does come off a bit... same-y, I guess. But they do fill a niche, and it is a beautiful one.

Have you heard of Van Canto? I love them.

I haven't! What do they do?

Weird mix of metal and folk rock, I'd say. But they sound awesome.

My favourite song: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rt4CQc1MSso

Me too. A cappella singing has always been my favourite.

Pub Choir is an Australia group that is pretty awesome.

This is on of my favourites of their covers.

Ambient drone: "Tippy's Demise" by Stars of the Lid ("If You're Never Awake" is another one I love.) Perfect for playing in the background when you're writing something angsty or heartstring-tugging.

Asian Underground: "Up to the Sky, Down to the Earth" by Talvin Singh and the Master Musicians of Jajouka

(also anything with drums: Kodo, Dragon Ritual Drummers, DHOL, etc. and electronica such as Blue Stahli or Immediate Music)

Instrumental Post Rock. Some of my favs.

13 Angels Standing Guard 'Round the Side of Your Bed by Silver Mt. Zion https://youtu.be/hQZfGa5t4e8

A Three-Legged Workhorse by This Will Destroy You https://youtu.be/a8E-cLMiBWM

The Dead Flag Blues by Godspeed You Black Emperor https://youtu.be/XVekJTmtwqM

I don't even know what the genres of most of my music are, let alone the sub-genres.

With 70% of my music I'm like, "Uh...semi-indie, pop, rock, folk...alternative?"

If mid-90s rock/alternative is a genre, then well, I'm always down for that. *shrugs*

And, um...depressive-but-not-emo folk?

I know, right?

Yep, pretty much the same. I can never explain what I like but when I hear something that appeals to me, I can usually say that it reminds me of something else I really love, even though some would say it's not even the same genre.

Ooh, can you share an example of depressive-but-not-emo folk?

So, I'm not AYRT, and the boundaries of "depressive" and "not emo" and "folk" are all sort of subjective, and I haven't listened to this specific genre in 2 or 3 years, but I can give you some stuff that's in the same general area

Chris Pureka is stunning (esp. hir How I Learned To See In The Dark album):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrUoua3F0v8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm3tXk2h7k4

I never was a very good fighter,
They started me young
You always were the very best lover
That I couldn't love

Sarah Harmer is a fave (esp. her You Were Here album):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0I2wed_1hA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctscvfE6SdU

You live out where the street ends
In a basement apartment with one of your friends
And the tap drips all night
Water torture in the sink
The furnace is burning
But it's still cold I think

David Berkeley

Corsica, I'm calling from over here
Oh sorceress, come conjure up some kind of cure
Please hold me like you used to, baby
Hold me like you would
Please hold me like you know what I'm going through

Matthew Ryan (he's more folk/alternative/country/rock)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbPxYK3Lfpo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H57jyoVrxk

Look at that slow southern sun
Hover and burn over everyone
Cool air that blows just rattles the vent
I've only always said what I thought I meant

Also, if you're into this "genre" but you haven't listened to Damien Rice, he's amazing. Not sure where you could start, though. His album, "O" is the best. Maybe try...idk, um, Aimee? (or Delicate, but you'll have heard it somewhere by now.)

Josh Ritter's also pretty good. This is a TERRIBLE song to rec for an introduction because it's so long, but what the hell, if you like some of my other recs, try Thin Blue Flame:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwVfMJnLWUE

At night, I make plans for a city laid down
Like the hips of a girl on the spring-covered ground
Spirals and capitals and the twists of a script
Streets named for heroes that could almost exist
[...]
The future glass buildings and the past an address
The weddings in pollen and the wine bottomless
And all wrongs forgotten and all vengeance made right
The suffering verbs put to sleep in the night

The future descending like a bright chandelier
The world just beginning and the guests in good cheer
In Royal City, I fell into a trance
Cause it’s hell to believe there ain’t a hell of a chance

Same. I don't listen to genres so much as I listen to songs I like, which are sort of all over the place.

Like, just scrolling down through my playlist, I've got Taylor Swift, Madonna, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Ed Sheeran, Yuna, Niall Horan, Katy Perry, Evanescence, Lindsey Sterling, Three Days Grace, Stevie Nicks, Florence and the Machine, Halsey, Paramore... IDK.

"pop"

you like pop music (and that's fine pop music rules)

Uhh, to be honest, I dunno what the subgenres are. They're all just varieties of rock, but I don't really know what type.

Same, tbh. While I do have a specific taste in music that I can immediately recognize, I have no idea what it's called. The closest genre I can find is alt. rock which covers such a broad spectrum of music it barely counts for anything.

I love love love the kind of sounds you get out of metal from the Nordic countries, that sort of orchestra-heavy epic melodic metal. I'm really stuck on Amorphis right now, and they're a good example of the sound I mean.

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Progressive Rock, Nu-Metal, Avant Garde, Indie, and 90s Alternative Rock.

Not sure if those count as Sub-Generes, but that's mostly what I gravitate towards.

I love so many different genres. Power Metal such as Sabaton, Blind Guardian, Battlelore, Demons and Wizards, Dragonforce, Dream Evil, Gloryhammer, Hammerfall, Helloween, Kamelot, and so many others. I love the sound, and I also love how they write metal about things like Tolkien's works and history. Power metal is just fun.

Here are some examples, some of my favorite songs.
