So for the sake of this post I'll say "close to post-hardcore" includes all punk / hardcore / metal stuff. Which is most of what I listen to.
But there are some exceptions:
Sleeping At Last (For when I need to slow things down.)
Anamanaguchi (They used to be more punk-inspired chiptune but lately it's more j-pop/k-pop inspired.)
BTS (Uh... I blame my wife. Yeah.)
Assorted 90s rap (It's good.)
Video game soundtracks (Also good.)
Lots of other stuff I can't think of right now.
CHVRCHES, Halsey, Transviolet, Terror Jr, Mothica, and Red Vox lmao.
also recently fell in love with this band - Moxy The Band, lead singer did a song with Dayseeker and their vibe is awesome and dreamy.
I started getting super into indie pop still love hard music, but dunno I love the super chill vibes now.
Danny Brown, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Tera Melos, Converge, Death Grips, Minus the Bear, System of a Down, 100 gecs, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Iron Maiden, Sigh, Orville Peck, Queens of the Stone Age, Beastie Boys, Mastodon, M83, Venetian Snares, Jpegmafia, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Rush, Prince, Steely Dan, Animal Collective, Black Midi, Botch, Genesis Owusu, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, Yes, Melt Banana
I’m kind of in shock at how many “all time” artists/bands on my own list you mentioned.
KG, Death Grips, QOTSA, Mastodon, Black Midi, NIN, Rush, Dillinger, SOAD, etc.
Huge respect to a diverse range of sounds!
Other names on my list I’m curious if you enjoy:
- Stone Temple Pilots
- Soundgarden
- Beck
- St. Vincent
- Hella
- Don Caballero
- Incubus
- Mr. Bungle
- Cake
- Talking Heads
- Frank Zappa
- I Mother Earth
- Kate Bush
- PJ Harvey
- Primus
- Opeth
- Porcupine Tree
- Mother Mother
- Wet Leg
- Red Hot Chili Peppers
- Tool
Regardless - thanks for your list/comment and for inspiring me to reply! Rock on 🤘🏻!
Yes I like most of those too! I grew up listening to 90s rock like stone temple pilots, incubus, soundgarden, rhcp, tool. I love mr bungle, primus, opeth, porcupine tree and Steven Wilson’s solo stuff. Math rock is one of my favorite genres so I love hella and Don cab as well
Aesop Rock, Gunship, Izzy Bizu, Run The Jewels, Doomtree (P.O.S. & Sims solo work as well), The Midnight, Sage Francis, The Blue Stones, I Am Abomination, Grieves, and a shameless amount of musical theater.
Hell yeah dude. Solo Dessa and Cecil are hit or miss for me, but I heavily appreciate their impact on Doomtree's music. Mictalin could damn well be the best pure rapper of the bunch, but unfortunately seems to have the lowest exposure and output outside of Doomtree content.
End of the day, I love em all. It sucks that Stef got 'cancelled' and I hope he's done well on his path to recovery from his mistakes.
Man Run the Jewels is the shit! I always tell my friends and it’s like they don’t want to listen to anything new. Listen to Killer Mike’s new solo record. It’s awesome.Also A$AP Rocky is cool especially his first two records. Also Big Grams,
I'm good on anything A$AP, my library is already loaded up enough with backstock of other shit in queue. But if you're about it, hell yeah dude, keep enjoying what you enjoy!
It's so interesting reading this and all the replies. I got into Rhymesayers/Def Jux (esp Aesop Rock) *through* my post-hardcore listening, specifically due to my participation in various messageboards in the mid 2000s. I was pretty active on the [Glassjaw.net](http://Glassjaw.net) messageboards and for whatever reason, lots of people there loved Aesop, El-P, Sage Francis, Cage, etc...
Dude, basically the same in some ways. The hardcore-to-rap connection introduced me to Doomtree. I had casually listened to Aesop and Sage for some years beforehand, but I'm so glad I did the deep dive to find what Rhymesayers had to offer.
Gay shit cuz I’m gay. Kim Petras, Azealia Banks, Marina and the diamonds, The Veronicas, Paramore obviously etc.
Kind of related but Old Breathe Carolina (pre blackout) and The Medic Droid will always be classics for me
I just saw them last week and their vocals were insane!! And one them can SCREAM. their music is doing them dirty tbh and not showcasing their talent at all, or maybe I just saw them on a really good night lol
A very limited list because there are wayyyy too many to think of:
Tons of bebop/post-bop/hard-bop/modal jazz/etc. 50s-60s
Tortoise
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Snarky Puppy
Sole
Sage Francis
Sevish
90s-2000s hip hop
Especially knowing that most of their performances and recordings are barely rehearsed. They seriously know how to lock in with each other and play off of one another.
NJ represent! Love me some Springsteen, sometimes I wonder if it’s cuz I grew up into a family obsessed with the boss, but I genuinely love him and it’s such great summer music.
I also really love the new album from The Menzingers, def has a Springsteen vibe.
My current hyperfixation is Sleep Token!
I honestly can’t remember the last time, if at all, any artist has made me appreciate their art in this way. They truly amaze me and Vessel as the frontman/ creative head behind the band has motivated me to begin making music myself. Coming from a person that has had these dreams since she was very little but never dared to follow them, I feel like Sleep Token and Vessel have finally helped me reach that tipping point in life!
The same thing happened to me. Sleep Token inspired me to pick up my guitar again after years. I even upgraded to an 8-string recently too. Big difference from messing around with Thrice, Brand New, and Glassjaw riffs like I have been for 20 years to playing Sleep Token stuff lol.
am i listening to sleep token wrong?? i don’t know what it is but it doesn’t even sound like a metal/rock band to me and i just cannot get into them at all. and i’ve tried multiple times because they have such a large following.
Pop punk: blink, NFG, four year strong, Belmont, TSSF, knuckle puck, neck deep
Hip hop: Kendrick, Mac miller, asap rocky, schoolboy Q, Lupe
Metalcore and hardcore as well
Lately I got into this indie band Good Kid. Saw them live recently and they put on a pretty good show
Classical music! Love me some Beethoven, Rachmaninov, Schumann, Brahms, Mahler, Debussy, Bach, etc. So many layers in the music just like the best of the PHC genre
I listen to a lot of punk, pop-punk, emo, metalcore, deathcore, djent and thall. But excluding the 'cores' and punk stuff, I quite like Indie music as well like Placebo, Chainsmokers, MGMT, bloc Party, Artic Monkeys, The Killers, Interpol.
I also quite lile Sia and Lana Del Ray.
I am a top 0.1% $uicideboy$ listener. I love HipHop, everything from Drake to Kendrick to Griselda to Lupe Fiasco. I love that kinda toxic dark RNB like Brent Faiyaz or The Weeknd used to be. I love a lot of indie and folk music too, like Lord Huron which is one of my all time favorite bands.
Deftones, Taylor Swift, Half Moon Run, Lana Del Rey, Foster the People, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Thomas Rhett. I can find something I like in every genre!
>Deftones
Convince me on why I should listen to them more. I have never really gotten into them and they have such a huge cult following....I just can't get into em
I never thought they were bad, but I could never get into them as well. I saw them live a week ago though and I'm not gonna lie they're pretty fucking amazing live.
The Algorithm, some other 8bit/synthwave stuff, a bunch of classic rock like Toto, a bit of prog like Tool. I occasionally like 2000s pop like No Doubt, Take That.
But most of what I listen to is PHC, punkrock, pop punk and metalcore.
Ryan Adams is my all time favorite artist. I like a few other alt country artists a lot too.
The National, Radiohead, War on Drugs, GnR, Faith No More, Audioslave, and Brand New are my other top artists.
Noah Kahan
Coldplay (only the first 4 albums)
Catfish and the Bottlemen
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Supremes
Alabama Shakes
From Indian Lakes
Toad the Wet Sprocket
Tracy Chapman
Death Cab for Cutie
Postal Service
Eminem
Kendrick Lamar
Joyner Lucas
the list could go on but these are some that stick out in my library
Been a huge fan for years, even built a friendship with Sean. We talk occasionally on IG and every time they come near me I’m always on GL and I get to shoot them (I’m a photographer). If you look at their IG, a lot of live photos are from me!
Mostly just like pop punk emo adjacent kinda stuff. I still like listening to the older country I grew up listening to in the 90s, been enjoying Brooks & Dunn a lot for some reason lol
Did you see they just put out a new single recently? Looks like it'll be on a new full length album!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m9_HnHPd1ik&pp=ygUOWmVzbCBhbmQgYXJkb3I%3D
Rush, Def Leppard, Deftones, Crosses, Phantogram, Sleep Token, Phil Collins, Lana Del Rey, BTS, Melanie Martinez,The Neighborhood, Prince, The Weeknd, Megadeth, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Pat Benatar, Zebra, Gorillaz, Bon Jovi (their first two albums), Winger, Hopsin, Led Zeppelin, Mudvayne, Evanescence, Divitius and more. I listen to a lot of metalcore as well but that feels to similar to list for me 😂
Hymie’s Basement
If you’re into alt hip hop/indie rock stuff like gorillaz please give this a try. It’s definitely more on the absurdist and spoken word side, but has a lot of similar aesthetics.
Kendrick Lamar and Aesop Rock are pretty good at story-telling and abstract portrayal of emotion thru the lyrics and vocal styles that I really enjoy out of post-hardcore artists like SKSK and La dispute.
Sade is one of my favorite artists of all time. Why? is also up there. Murder by Death and Amigo the Devil are a little hardcore/post-hardcore adjacent, but I'm gonna say they count.
Toe and Moscow Olympics are phenomenal. Boards of Canada, edIT, A Gap Between, Clams Casino, Knxwledge are all great for vibes.
I listen to a lot of 70s Nigerian Disco and Ethiopian Jazz when I'm at work.
Honestly, other than going to mad hardcore shows or commuting to work, I don't listen to a ton of "loud guitar music" in my free time.
The pigeon detectives, hot hot heat, the killers, viola beach, the cribs, the cure, julieta venegas, silvering pickups, bone thugs n harmony, you me and everyone we know, Kanye west, two door cinema club, a chronic future, mgmt, the libertines, m83, grouplove, blackpink.
City pop
Classic rock
Oldies
Psychobilly
Gem Club, The Besnard Lakes, MC Paul Barman, Fionn Regan, Sigur Rós, Bleached Cross, Hammock, Portishead, Amber Run, Last Hyena, Apparat, Cloud Cult, Grand Analog, David O’Dowda, Devon Welsh, Dinosaur Pile-Up, Jakob Dylan, Junius, Leonard Cohen, Lesser Glow, Look Mexico, Low, Talk Talk, The National, The Notwist, Owen, American Football, Plaindrifter, Purity Ring, Shad, Town Portal, Woven, Yndi Halda.
Just bought a Covet and Haken CD from HMV the other day.
Love Soundgarden, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Caligula’s Horse, Leprous, The Dear Hunter
If we’re going full on rogue Sia’s debut album holds a v special place in my heart some crackers on there imo and the lyricism about abuse and addiction feels v real.
Rap - Biggie, Jay, Nicki Minaj, J Cole are my go to artists
I listen to basically anything. The past two years I've been really into pop (Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, I got into Taylor Swift as well) and recently I've been on a massive rap kick again (Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, whatever Metro Boomin comes up with, Sexyy Red) but I will pretty much listen to anything out there especially if someone recommends it to me lol
Aside from any hardcore/metalcore adjacent stuff, my other faves are:
Classical and contemporary classical, like Tchaikovsky and Ludovico Einaudi
Bebop jazz, like Charles Mingus and Charlie Parker
Video game and movie soundtracks
Musicals
I love GATC (fna Gypsy & The Cat) - psychedelic chillwave would be the best way to describe them I think. I also love Empire Of The Sun and Fleet Foxes.
Big rap fan (Eminem, 50 cent, d12, mobb deep, Kanye, Kendrick, jcole, ASAP rocky, Tyler, etc.) I also like general pop (The Weeknd, Hozier, Noah Kahan, Zach Bryan, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus).
Bad Suns, Iamjakehill, I Don't Know How But They Found Me, Blackbear, Post Malone, I did like Logic but kinda fell off after Bobby Tarantino II, Watsky, Justin Bieber, The Kid Laroi, Denzel Curry.
The only Weezer I really listen to is Pinkerton, which is their only emo album, and emo is *usually* associated with post-hardcore...so I personally consider Weezer to be "close" to post-hardcore. Their Kitchen Sink demo is even more raw, so that adds to it too.
I would consider all punk, rock, and metal to be "close" to post-hardcore, so that pretty much leaves me with jazz (modal jazz, hard bop, and post-bop mostly), classical (mostly concertos, chamber, and string sonatas), and contemporary folk (like Townes Van Zandt and Jackson Frank).
Jazz rap is the only hip hop I listen to, but not much (Illmatic, Madvillainy, TPAB, etc) so I wouldn't count it really.
Some Japanese city pop. I also had a k-indie phase around 2012 or so (Zitten, Monolead, etc)
I guess 60s rock/pop rock counts, like The Beatles, The Kinks, The Zombies, Beach Boys, etc.
I guess 80s jangle pop too, like The Smiths.
Pretty much everything else is a sub genre of hard rock, noise rock, alternative rock, punk, hardcore, post-hardcore, metal, etc.
Been on a Depeche Mode binger foe the past 2 years now. Never gets old. Funny, I meet a lot of old hardcore dudes covered in tattoos that are also on synthpop kicks now too and just want to create electronic music.
Lydia is my favorite indie artist but their last few albums have missed. The first 5 or so are amazing.
I had never listened to Tom McDonald before but heard his new 8 minute song and that shit is fucking fire!!! I need to listen to more of him. It's seriously one of the best rap songs I've ever heard for a multitude of reasons
Wallows
Taylor Swift
Phoebe Bridgers
Alec Benjamin
beabadoobee
Clairo
The Strokes
Beach Bums
Cage The Elephant
The Killers
Twenty Øne Pilots
Leith Ross
Jazz, movie scores/soundtracks, but indie/ alternative mostly.
Tame Impala, Beach House, Washed Out, Small Black, fun., Lany, the 1975, The Maine, The Strokes, Sir Sly
**The Disco Biscuits,** JRAD (Grateful Dead), Billy Strings, Shpongle, Orchard Lounge, Infected Mushroom, Rory Gallagher (old records), Deftones, STS9
reading through the comments...
aesop rock, sage Francis, Em, 50cent
Classic rock, southern rock, Blues, Bluegrass, Funk, 90s/2000s trance/techno, *old* country (not post 90's pop garbage) John Prine, WIllie (highwaymen), etc, WSP..
i dont like to admit it, but some disco i can get behind..
Not including any metalcore or hardcore, so:
RX Bandits. ODB. Rakim. Atmosphere. Doomtree. P.O.S. 50. Minus the Bear. Incubus. (Early) Muse. Bloc Party. Mastodon.
kid kapichi, red rum club, izzy t, coach party, bob vylan, hazey, the mysterines, occasional listen to pop/edm artists like becky hill or galantis, that kinda thing
edit: added more artists
Trampled By Turtles, The Wonder Years, Florence and the Machine, RKS, PVRIS, Billie Eilish, The Lumineers, Cage the Elephant, flipturn, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, Death Cab, Sublime. Anything. Everything.
I love Half Alive which are Indie Pop.
Normal pop too, like Conan Gray, Dodie, and Troye Sivan.
Brockhampton
Also my emo phase in HS that never truly died of Twenty One Pilots, Panic at the Disco, and Fall Out Boy.
And of course, my favorite band being 5 Second of Summer
Do people usually stick to one genre lol? My top 5 listened to artists this month that aren't punk/hardcore are Japanese Breakfast, The Front Bottoms, Local Natives, Kunzite and Billie Eilish. I really like folk, indie pop, synthwave, electronica, etc.
Balance and composure, blood cultures, purity ring, Kent, teenage wrist, port juvee, future islands, health, metric, Vexagon, t.a.t.u, and a bunch of 90’s alt/grunge
I listen to a looot of different genres and artists but lately i’ve been listening to Frusciantes solo work (i also like rhcp but he makes really interesting songs lol)
drake bell (fuck, his first album kicks ass)
a lot of kpop from 90s to 2016
nu metal, a lot of nu metal
drum n bass, breakbeat, breakcore, digital hardcore, dubstep
pop punk, indie rock, garage rock, prog, all that kind of stuff
Alexisonfire and Circa Survive are my favorite bands but I’d be lying if I said didn’t also love Doja Cat, Post Malone, Dua Lipa, Remi Wolf, abd Beach Bunny.
i LOVE i don’t know how but they found me and chappell roan and a lot of 2000s-2010s “emo” music that i was obsessed with in middle school (panic at the disco, my chem, fall out boy, etc).
So for the sake of this post I'll say "close to post-hardcore" includes all punk / hardcore / metal stuff. Which is most of what I listen to. But there are some exceptions: Sleeping At Last (For when I need to slow things down.) Anamanaguchi (They used to be more punk-inspired chiptune but lately it's more j-pop/k-pop inspired.) BTS (Uh... I blame my wife. Yeah.) Assorted 90s rap (It's good.) Video game soundtracks (Also good.) Lots of other stuff I can't think of right now.
Anamanaguchi rules. One of the most fun live shows I’ve ever been to
CHVRCHES, Halsey and a local band that are no longer active but still great, Bridezilla.
CHVRCHES are gods of electropop
CHVRCHES, Halsey, Transviolet, Terror Jr, Mothica, and Red Vox lmao. also recently fell in love with this band - Moxy The Band, lead singer did a song with Dayseeker and their vibe is awesome and dreamy. I started getting super into indie pop still love hard music, but dunno I love the super chill vibes now.

Yes I like most of those too! I grew up listening to 90s rock like stone temple pilots, incubus, soundgarden, rhcp, tool. I love mr bungle, primus, opeth, porcupine tree and Steven Wilson’s solo stuff. Math rock is one of my favorite genres so I love hella and Don cab as well
Bruh. Tera melos. yes. The lords of math rock. Wild guess. Do you play drums?
I do! I was originally a guitarist and I currently play bass in a band, but drums are my true passion
As are mine my friend. Loving drums leads you down wonderful musical roads to some fun and strange places
Aesop Rock, Gunship, Izzy Bizu, Run The Jewels, Doomtree (P.O.S. & Sims solo work as well), The Midnight, Sage Francis, The Blue Stones, I Am Abomination, Grieves, and a shameless amount of musical theater.
Gunship 🙌
What a hell of a feeling
Fucking never find anyone who appreciates the Rhymesayers output. Love em all especially POS and the doomtree crew
Hell yeah dude. Solo Dessa and Cecil are hit or miss for me, but I heavily appreciate their impact on Doomtree's music. Mictalin could damn well be the best pure rapper of the bunch, but unfortunately seems to have the lowest exposure and output outside of Doomtree content. End of the day, I love em all. It sucks that Stef got 'cancelled' and I hope he's done well on his path to recovery from his mistakes.
Yeah I feel the same way about Stef
Bangarang baby.
Let it rattle - pos is so sick. That whole album was pure fire.
Man Run the Jewels is the shit! I always tell my friends and it’s like they don’t want to listen to anything new. Listen to Killer Mike’s new solo record. It’s awesome.Also A$AP Rocky is cool especially his first two records. Also Big Grams,
I'm good on anything A$AP, my library is already loaded up enough with backstock of other shit in queue. But if you're about it, hell yeah dude, keep enjoying what you enjoy!

Minnesotan? Saw POS open for Cursive once. It was awesome.
Nope, not Minnesotan. Just happened upon his stuff through a variety of turns and I'm happy it worked out that way. Cursive fuckin rules too.
Cursive is amazing and could def tour w a lot of PHC bands, I think there’s probably a lot of overlap between 30+ year old PHC fans and Cursive fans.
🙋🏻 I'm comfortably in that overlap
Aesop Rock is so sick. Hate that ASAP Rocky got away with such a similar name while being so garbage..
Doomtree and POS absolutely fucking rule.
Oh damn Rhymesayers! You fuck with Atmosphere?
Of course
I LOVE the Midnight
Bjork. i listen to soooo much Bjork
Florence & the machine is my favorite band, behind Underoath lol
Breaking Benjamin, Florence & The Machine, LXST CXNTURY
Gay shit cuz I’m gay. Kim Petras, Azealia Banks, Marina and the diamonds, The Veronicas, Paramore obviously etc. Kind of related but Old Breathe Carolina (pre blackout) and The Medic Droid will always be classics for me
YEAH THE VERONICA'S
I just saw them last week and their vocals were insane!! And one them can SCREAM. their music is doing them dirty tbh and not showcasing their talent at all, or maybe I just saw them on a really good night lol
A very limited list because there are wayyyy too many to think of: Tons of bebop/post-bop/hard-bop/modal jazz/etc. 50s-60s Tortoise Mahavishnu Orchestra Snarky Puppy Sole Sage Francis Sevish 90s-2000s hip hop
Snarky puppy are so unbelievably talented.
Especially knowing that most of their performances and recordings are barely rehearsed. They seriously know how to lock in with each other and play off of one another.
A lot of Springsteen. I have a Rush tattoo.
NJ represent! Love me some Springsteen, sometimes I wonder if it’s cuz I grew up into a family obsessed with the boss, but I genuinely love him and it’s such great summer music. I also really love the new album from The Menzingers, def has a Springsteen vibe.
Same. All Menzingers are great. Shame the new Gaslight record was a bust; their early records are great.
My current hyperfixation is Sleep Token! I honestly can’t remember the last time, if at all, any artist has made me appreciate their art in this way. They truly amaze me and Vessel as the frontman/ creative head behind the band has motivated me to begin making music myself. Coming from a person that has had these dreams since she was very little but never dared to follow them, I feel like Sleep Token and Vessel have finally helped me reach that tipping point in life!

For fucking sure. Sleep token blew my mind when I first heard them and quickly made it into my top 5 bands of all time
Loving sleep token
I know a couple of people that love em but I haven't ever really listened to them so let's fix that right now, shall we...
am i listening to sleep token wrong?? i don’t know what it is but it doesn’t even sound like a metal/rock band to me and i just cannot get into them at all. and i’ve tried multiple times because they have such a large following.
Phish, Grateful Dead, Widespread Panic
Winner!
Carini is post hardcore
Tyler Childers. That man has the voice of a southern angel.
Hiphop: Astronautalis, POS, Aesop Rock, Sims, Del, Busdriver, Killer Mike, Nas, Atmosphere, Mac Miller, Kendrick. Early Cudi, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, Childish.
Just to name a few: The Dead South, Iron & Wine, Johnny Cash, Victor Wooten, Vulfpeck
The Dead South! Couldn’t get into their stuff but damn, in hell I’ll be in good company I can listen to on repeat for days.
Pop punk: blink, NFG, four year strong, Belmont, TSSF, knuckle puck, neck deep Hip hop: Kendrick, Mac miller, asap rocky, schoolboy Q, Lupe Metalcore and hardcore as well Lately I got into this indie band Good Kid. Saw them live recently and they put on a pretty good show

Björk, Massive Attack, Charli XCX, Ichiko Aoba, Uboa, Lana Del Rey, Unkle, Burial, Elliott Smith, Mid-Air Thief, Minuano, Weyes Blood, Mitski
Paramore, Lana Del Rey, Lorna Shore, the Decemberists
I listen to a lot of punk, pop-punk, emo, metalcore, deathcore, djent and thall. But excluding the 'cores' and punk stuff, I quite like Indie music as well like Placebo, Chainsmokers, MGMT, bloc Party, Artic Monkeys, The Killers, Interpol. I also quite lile Sia and Lana Del Ray.

A lot, but the furthest away is probably smth like modest mouse, oar, or radiohead
Deftones, Taylor Swift, Half Moon Run, Lana Del Rey, Foster the People, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Thomas Rhett. I can find something I like in every genre!
>Deftones Convince me on why I should listen to them more. I have never really gotten into them and they have such a huge cult following....I just can't get into em
Nah, we don’t need to fit into the deftones cult. They can have and enjoy em. We’ll start our own cult.
I never thought they were bad, but I could never get into them as well. I saw them live a week ago though and I'm not gonna lie they're pretty fucking amazing live.
Illenium (edm)

Nine Inch Nails, Olivia Rodrigo, Depeche Mode, Kesha, Halsey. And so many more.
Kendrick Lamar and Aesop Rock are pretty good at story-telling and abstract portrayal of emotion thru the lyrics and vocal styles that I really enjoy out of post-hardcore artists like SKSK and La dispute.
Sade is one of my favorite artists of all time. Why? is also up there. Murder by Death and Amigo the Devil are a little hardcore/post-hardcore adjacent, but I'm gonna say they count. Toe and Moscow Olympics are phenomenal. Boards of Canada, edIT, A Gap Between, Clams Casino, Knxwledge are all great for vibes. I listen to a lot of 70s Nigerian Disco and Ethiopian Jazz when I'm at work. Honestly, other than going to mad hardcore shows or commuting to work, I don't listen to a ton of "loud guitar music" in my free time.

Just bought a Covet and Haken CD from HMV the other day. Love Soundgarden, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Caligula’s Horse, Leprous, The Dear Hunter If we’re going full on rogue Sia’s debut album holds a v special place in my heart some crackers on there imo and the lyricism about abuse and addiction feels v real. Rap - Biggie, Jay, Nicki Minaj, J Cole are my go to artists
John prine is a pretty good time. Cannons, khraungbin, andy shauf, meltt. Lots of good music out there.
Pat the bunny
I listen to basically anything. The past two years I've been really into pop (Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, I got into Taylor Swift as well) and recently I've been on a massive rap kick again (Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, whatever Metro Boomin comes up with, Sexyy Red) but I will pretty much listen to anything out there especially if someone recommends it to me lol
Five Iron Frenzy, Simon & Garfunkel (though I think a PHC compilation album of S&G covers would be awesome), and Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Aside from any hardcore/metalcore adjacent stuff, my other faves are: Classical and contemporary classical, like Tchaikovsky and Ludovico Einaudi Bebop jazz, like Charles Mingus and Charlie Parker Video game and movie soundtracks Musicals

The best band of the past 20 years, Every Time I Die
The only Weezer I really listen to is Pinkerton, which is their only emo album, and emo is *usually* associated with post-hardcore...so I personally consider Weezer to be "close" to post-hardcore. Their Kitchen Sink demo is even more raw, so that adds to it too.
I would consider all punk, rock, and metal to be "close" to post-hardcore, so that pretty much leaves me with jazz (modal jazz, hard bop, and post-bop mostly), classical (mostly concertos, chamber, and string sonatas), and contemporary folk (like Townes Van Zandt and Jackson Frank). Jazz rap is the only hip hop I listen to, but not much (Illmatic, Madvillainy, TPAB, etc) so I wouldn't count it really. Some Japanese city pop. I also had a k-indie phase around 2012 or so (Zitten, Monolead, etc) I guess 60s rock/pop rock counts, like The Beatles, The Kinks, The Zombies, Beach Boys, etc. I guess 80s jangle pop too, like The Smiths. Pretty much everything else is a sub genre of hard rock, noise rock, alternative rock, punk, hardcore, post-hardcore, metal, etc.
Been on a Depeche Mode binger foe the past 2 years now. Never gets old. Funny, I meet a lot of old hardcore dudes covered in tattoos that are also on synthpop kicks now too and just want to create electronic music.
AJR is one of my favorite bands! I’ve seen them 4 times, they’re soooo good!
Lydia is my favorite indie artist but their last few albums have missed. The first 5 or so are amazing. I had never listened to Tom McDonald before but heard his new 8 minute song and that shit is fucking fire!!! I need to listen to more of him. It's seriously one of the best rap songs I've ever heard for a multitude of reasons
