Out of the open platforms, I use:
Reddit: Lemmy, Beehaw, Kbin
Twitter: Mastodon, Calckey
Facebook: idk nothing really plus I don't even use Facebook that much anymore
I may occasionally use proprietary ones like Twitter, Tumblr and Threads.
My musical tastes vary from rock and it’s many subgenres and off shoots to dozens of genres of EDM (mainly Progressive House, Trance, Techno, Psytrance, Dubstep, and Drum & Bass). I have a Spotify library exceeding 12k tracks.
Some of my favorite acts in no particular order include The Offspring, Rise Against, Pearl Jam, Ghost, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Breaking Benjamin, Billy Talent, Linkin Park, Paramore, Deadmau5, Feed Me, Kill The Noise, Liquid Stranger, Dance With The Dead, Ghostland Observatory, Rezz, Eric Prydz, Infected Mushroom, Heatbeat, Death On The Balcony, Hernan Cattaneo, and Lee Burridge just to name a few.
Too many headphones lol. Usually my Hifiman Sundara or Modhouse Argon Mk3. I got a Bluetooth amp (xduoo XD-05 plus) to drive them so I can at least stay semi-portable.
I have a pair of Phillips Fidelio X2HR for my PC where I listen to most things; an unexpected brand compared to the likes of Sony or Sennheiser. I'm considering an upgrade to a close-backed pair of headphones since I don't live alone and my PC space is nearby to the kitchen, so I would like to block sound out.
In the gym out back I use a Google Mini. Living where I am now I haven't needed earbuds for public transport so I don't have any. I will eventually buy a pair for when I go camping and want to watch something on my phone.
Folk, Folk-Rock, Folk-Metal, Classical, Progressive Death Metal, Grindcore, Melodic Black Metal with Death influences, Industrial Metal, Industrial Rock
Also, quite some metal outside those genres, but those would be the main ones. Oh, and some almost metal K-Pop (e.g. Dreamcatcher) via my wife ;)
I run away from Rap, RnB, most electronic music (Some few exceptions, and I also like the freaky stuff like Gabber and faster up to speedcore or terrorcore) unless it’s mixed with metal.
For metal, we have the link between them: Ministry who are pretty much for metal what KMFDM is for Rock Just One Fix 1992. Quite different is Dutch The Monolith Deathcult who are one of the few Industrial Death Metal bands Wrath of the Ba’ath 2008. Hanzel und Gretyl are a military party industrial metal band ;) Fukken Über Death Party 2006 (Note: they use Nazi Germany sound samples and imagery, though satirized). Pain’s Shut your Mouth 2001 is one of my all-time favorite songs and videos
Have you heard Metempiric by Knoll? One of my favourite bands around right now. I guess they’d be described as blackened grindcore. Intense, extreme, and beautiful record.
Just look up “The Game of Life.” It’s not really a spread sheet, that’s simply how it’s displayed (grids of pixels that are either living, dead, or food) and it just kinda simulates an ecosystem in the most very, very basic of ways. All you can do to influence the game is change what a grid contains, with the goal (if you can say it has any) of keeping a sustainable system going.
Last four concerts were Erykah Badu, Blood Red Shoes, Marcy Playground and Tears for Fears. They were all amazing and you can’t really go wrong with any album from any of them.
I’m slightly biased towards progressive rock (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin), vanera (Baitaca, Os Serranos), neofolk and folk metal (Faun, Korpiklaani… does Kayah’s album with Bregović count?), some punk and grunge (The Offspring is still one of my favs). But it’s a bit too messy to generalise.
Massive fan of grime music (!grime) (similarish to hip hop but with electronic beats) and its predecessor, UK garage (summery dance music vibes). UK rap in general is a big thing for me. I listen to drill music on occasion but not super often (modern gangster rap basically, although there’s a lot of commercial drill nowadays). Been really into jersey club music lately - I think the beats are really cool.
Other than that, I enjoy (but don’t listen to actively) baile funk, some varieties of house music, deep/original dubstep music (not the screechy dubstep most people think of), reggae, lofi-hiphop, the underground NY hip hop scene
