This compilation from Light In The Attic is a great look at minimal synth stuff from Japan: https://lightintheattic.net/releases/4088-kankyo-ongaku-japanese-ambient-environmental-new-age-music-1980-1990

It’s not early, but for the minimal synth sound, my absolute favorite is Oneohtrix Point Never - Rifts, which is a compilation of some of his early records

I'm looking for melancholic music from different genres. The tones can be quite hopeless, but if there's a small hint of hope even better. I don't want to give too much examples but prefebably not the big bands like The Cure I would like to avoid.

Sorry, if this is really ambiguous request..

I'm looking for more stuff like this https://youtu.be/SpSMoBp8awM Sturgill Simpsons more groovy stuff or the black keys. Big groovy rock and roll type stuff that's not afraid to use synths and electronics.

going back in time, that kinda funk/rock (especially post-punk revival like dfa) is really influenced by the first wave of post-punk, though it's usually not as accessible

I'm looking for more stuff like R.L. Burnside's "rear end Pocket Full of Whiskey" or Neil Young and Crazy Horse's "Weld". Specific things I'm looking for are that really overblown, speaker-breakup guitar tone and the general overall kinda raw, vintage "these amps are gonna blow any minute" rocking. The bluesier the better but not necessarily required.

This is the mission statement of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

I'm doing my yearly search for new music.

I have listened to every Stars of the Lid and Boards of Canada track 10,000 times. Tracks like Stars of the Lid's "Requiem for Dying Mothers pt. 2" and Boards of Canada's "Tears from the Compound Eye" are favorites.

Everything by Eluvium/Robert Mathew Cooper gets heavy rotation, too; 'Indoor Swimming at the Space Station' is a winter evening favorite.

Other things that have been favorites for years: Casino vs. Japan, Tycho, Celer, Balmorhea, Niles Frahm. Through Spotify and Apple Music over the last few years I've found well knowns like Hammock, Pillowdiver, Slow Dancing Society, etc.

God is an Astronaut gets a lot of rotation, too, though I know they don't really fit in here.

Anyone have some suggestions? And furthermore: what the gently caress is this kind of music called????
ambient my dude!! As lame as it is to link pitchfork, their top 50 ambient albums was actually a really good writeup by people that know their stuff. I found a lot of great records I had never heard of before https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/9948-the-50-best-ambient-albums-of-all-time/?page=5

My personal favorites: William Basinski - Disintegration Loops

I’d like recommendations for soundtracks or film scores all done by one artist or group not normally considered a film scorer. Or if not that precisely, scores by non-traditional film scorers.
Think Tosca Tango Orchestra’s Waking Life, Amon Tobin’s Taxidermia, or Ry Cooder’s Paris, Texas rather than John Williams, Clint Mansell, or Ennio Morricone.

First three that come to mind:

Miles Davis - Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (aka elevator to the gallows)
Goblin - Suspiria
Oneohtrix Point Never - Uncut Gems

I'm looking for more "heavy" or rock based songs with disco/four on the floor beats.

Some suggestions of stuff I'm talking about would be I Ain't Hiding by the Black Crowes, I Was Made For Loving You by Kiss, the chorus of Closer by NIN, etc.

basically half of all post-punk from 1979 (the non-goth non-joy division half). gang of four, au pairs, delta 5, PiL, the pop group

What's some good music to get punched in the face by? No particular genre, I think I'm looking more for... 'relentless intensity'? I know that's vague. Looking in my library, Crass and White Lung are good. Pharmakon does it as well. Oneida's "Sheets of Easter" is a very specific example, too. But even admittedly milder stuff like Preoccupations (especially the debut) sort of ticks the box for me, so it's not necessarily about loudness or harshness, though I reckon that probably helps. Any ideas?

edit: I should maybe say I'm not super into metal, that sort of seems the obvious place to go to. I might be open to the slower, sludgier stuff if the vocals aren't super growly, though.

I'm definitely the "Hey Have You Heard These Classic Post-Punk and Noise Rock Bands" guy but whatever, it fits, check out the stuff that influenced White Lung and Preoccupations such as:

I'm not the guy you're responding to, but I love The Rapture, and am trying to get into dance, modern funk, and house music like it. I already love Leon Vynehall, Against All Logic, and Yves Tumor, so I would love any recommendations to help expand my palette, new or old. I love these specific artists, but I know nothing of House as a genre as a whole.

On a more niche level, I loving love the albums Black Terry Cat and Magic Trix by Xenia Rubinos, if someone can rec any music with off kilter vocals and groovy, syncopated rhythms like that to me, I'd be hella grateful. Thank you!

I tried listening to her top 10, and then a few other songs, and I didn't really like this, like the first 3 or 4 songs were very slow and cooing, and I like things more fast paced I guess?

I dunno, maybe music is really hard to recommend to people, and I'm actually being a big goober for being like "Here are 20 of my favorite songs, do you know anything like this?"

This might sound very weird/flippant and I promise it isn't: when I was 16-17 and getting into music I would go over critic lists of "best albums of all time" and find ones I liked. Some of the stuff I didn't like at first ended up being my all-time favorites!! So in your position I'd look for a big compilation of this and just pull up stuff on YouTube at random. Even if you don't end up liking it, hey, at least you can say you've heard [x classic song or album] if someone mentions it in conversation.

More specific, you seem to like a lot of recent fun pop songs, so some older pop jams could scratch the same itch. I'm not sure how "obvious" to start with, but... do you like Prince? And Michael Jackson? The pop songs seem to have a somewhat-danceable rhythmic pulse to them

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

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

and continuing the trio of "stuff my mom would play so loud when I was a kid that I could hear it from the street"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWurqD68u70

I can't be as much help on the "girl with acoustic guitar" part because most of that isn't my sort of music, but there's a chance this is a fun catchy song that you could enjoy too (total shot in the dark that other people will probably make fun of me for including though):

I did this and found some stuff that I had forgotten I liked, I was really into Ska as a kid, and loved Sublime, ok I was into sublime. Then I went back and revisited some of their stuff, and a lot of it is... Very problematic. Which sucks, I also have been getting tiktoks about Ska history, and how it's roots were not white punk dudes, so some stuff like would rule!

also if you like this kind of stuff, the most influential album on my music taste anyone ever gave me was a copy of The Clash - London Calling when I was 12. Maybe it will have the same effect on you!!

the above recs are good, I'd also check out Basically Anything K-Records Ever Made, especially because the large number of female artists should be a good counterpoint to all that incel poo poo. A lot of them do the teen/early 20s "singing about my breakup :'( " stuff but without as much misogyny, I hope
