General Music Discussion

I am so glad someone made this thread. 

Has anyone ever heard of The Neighbourhood? They're an indie rock/experimental/alternative rock band from California. Their music is dark, moody and sometimes, can be considered angsty. These are some of the songs that they have released:https://youtu.be/GCdwKhTtNNw

According to Urban Dictionary : "Indie rock is a mixture of many other genres, including alternative rock, folk music, electronica, even pop. It also tends to be very positive music, despite popular opinion", "Underground, somewhat experimental, music. (modest mouse, sigur ros, the decemberists)". However, I believe, conrtrary to the Urban Dictionary definition, indie rock can also be a little bit angsty. Anyway, the term actually comes from independent. It used to define artists who weren't in the major labels or they didn't make mainstream music. However, it has become more of a sub-genre of Alternative rock music now. It can't be easily defined. It all depends on what you hear, I believe. And I understand why would you say that "Sweater Weather" feels pop to you. But it is not. At least to me. icanteven is not pop either. At least to my ears. It is largely influenced by hip hop music and is from their mixtape, which was released last year. About "RIP 2 My Youth"... Well I don't know about this one. But the others you mentioned, don't sound "pop" to me. At least not "Sweater Weather". More like indie pop, maybe. I hope this helps.

Johnny Cash 


I really find this artist to be one of my all time favourite artists very raw, distinctive, dark and unique within his style of playing and writing very inspiring to me as a songwriter. I just adore the classic country, but want makes Johnny so special is that he writes different themes it doesn't have to be all about the same story, for example, love or breaking the heart his lyrics and storytelling is so deep and fantastic and realistic within the darkness of society, it's very inspirational to a certain theme and mood he also captures this all within his unique voice, I know him, not the greatest technical singer but his talents lie in the way he sings, his tones, his mature because he is a baritone and also the way he writes his music. He also stated that you don't need to be a talented guitar playing to showcase your emotion, just three simple chords just can do the trick that's very inspirational to me as a guitar player and songwriter.  

Favorite albums  American IV: The Man Comes Around and so many more. 

favorite songs I Hung My Head, Sam Hall, Desperado, Give My Love to Rose, Tear Stained Letter, Ring of Fire, Get Rhythm, Long Black Veil, I Got Stripes, I Walk the Line, Folsom Prison Blues, Personal Jesus, Cry, Cry, Cry, Hey Porter, I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry, Delia's Gone and Danny Boy

Nope, you are not misunderstood.  
It's not a professional thing I just passion songwriting, I have a Soundcloud with all my songs that I have written, just a wannabe musician and also I do try and sing. And these artists that I listen really do help me to create stories within my own personal preferences I try to capture the darkness of society within my storytelling.  

Thank you so much, I know your the only person that has been awesome.  

Yes, my music is based on more of the classic country and classic folklore music. But my music taste is very versatile because I have my favourite artists and bands within each genre, but not mainstream... I don't really like mainstream music that much.


If you notice I have a Leona Lewis icon because she intrigued me of her Hurt ep because she covered one of my favourite songs Hurt by "Nine Inch Nails" personally in my opinion, it was as good as Johnny Cash's version, so she is my current favourite vocalist who can sing amazingly within range, and also I love her new album "I am" but it is mainly based on folk and country my music taste. 

So what music you mostly find intriguing and love?  << this icon is funny. 

I like... Bullet For My Valentine.
