LET’S HAVE AN OPEN DISCUSSION TODAY ABOUT MUSIC.
AS AN AUTISTIC PERSON, I USUALLY KEEP HEADPHONES ON OR EARBUDS IN MY EARS TO BLOCK OUT NOISE AND MUFFLE IT BECAUSE IT IS EASY FOR ME TO GET OVERSTIMULATED AND OVERWHELMED. BECAUSE OF THIS, IT ALSO MEANS I LISTEN TO MUSIC A LOT- EXCEPT FOR WHEN IM NOT LISTENING TO MUSIC. BUT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN I DO. SO LET’S FOCUS ON THAT.I HAVE ALWAYS CONSIDERED MYSELF A VERY OPEN-TO-TRYING-ANYTHING KIND OF CREATURE. I HAVE A VERY BROAD RANGE OF INTERESTS AND MY TASTE IS VARIED. YES- INCLUDING COUNTRY MUSIC. CRUCIFY ME I GUESS, BUT I GREW UP LISTENING TO IT. SO YES, I MEAN IT WHEN I SAY I AM OPEN TO ANYTHING. NOTHING IS OFF THE TABLE. (I CAN SEE THE HATE COMMENTS NOW, “BOO GET OFF SPACEHEY YOU INHUMAN BEAST!” “ARE YOU SURE YOURE EVEN REAL?” RIGHT, THE ANSWER TO THAT ONE IS NO. I AM NOT SURE. BUT WOULD YOU LIKE TO FIND OUT? /LHJ)
I USUALLY LISTEN TO OBSCURE ARTISTS AND ANYTHING VAGUELY UNSETTLING. TECH-Y SYNTHY INTENSELY AUTOTUNED MUSIC (THE BEEPY BOOPY BUZZY TINGLY EARNUMBING BRAINSCRATCHING ELECTRONIC TUNES. LIKE THE ONE YOU CAN LISTEN TO ON MY PROFILE) AND LOUD MUSIC AS WELL (HYPERPOP, SPEEDCORE, BREAKCORE, ROCK, METAL, SCREAMO, EMO, ETC. AND DEPENDING ON HOW LOUD YOU BLAST THE EVERLIVING SHIT OUT OF IT, FOLK PUNK ABSOLUTELY INCLUDED) BECAUSE THEY SATIATE MY HYPERACTIVITY WITHOUT MY PHYSICAL MEATBAG (WHAT YOU LOVELY CREATURES CALL A BODY) HAVING TO ACTIVELY EXERT ENERGY AND WEAR MYSELF OUT. I ALSO LISTEN TO AND ENJOY MOOD-SETTING MUSIC LIKE VIDEO GAME OSTS, DREAMCORE/VAPORWAVE, AND IVE RECENTLY STARTED LISTENING TO CLASSICAL MORE OFTEN AGAIN.
IM ALWAYS LISTENING TO MUSIC, WHATEVER I FEEL FITS THE MOOD OR SATISFIES MY CRAVING AND SCRATCHES THAT ITCH IN MY PIGGYBANK BRAIN. I LOVE REALLY ANYTHING AND AM OPEN TO ANYTHING- EVEN MUSICALS (I AM A FORMER THEATRE KID. I AM VERY FUCKING SORRY) AND MUSIC IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES (OUTSIDE OF MY NATIVE LANGUAGE, I LISTEN A LOT TO MY TARGET LANGUAGES. LIKE 日本語, 中文, TAGALOG, FRENCH, SPANISH, 한국어, TIẾNG VIỆT, ETC). MUSIC FROM DIFFERENT TIMES (I AM A HUGE POST-MODERN JUKEBOX FAN AND LISTEN TO A LOT OF MUSIC IN THAT STYLE. I ALSO QUITE ENJOY MUSIC FROM THE 80S-90S AND THE EARLY 2000S, ESPECIALLY EARLY-INTERNET ICONIC BOPS).
SO MY QUESTION IS THIS.
WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO YOU GUYS LIKE AND LISTEN TO? WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
I CRAVE MUSIC RECOMMENDATIONS. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME SUGGESTIONS. MAYBE WE MIGHT EVEN LIKE THE SAME ARTISTS, I DON’T FUCKING KNOW. BUT HEY, MAYBE I’LL FIND OTHER PASSIONATE MUSIC ENTHUSIASTS.

im not autistic but i enjoy listening to some pretty obscure music. you wanna know the fastest stuff out there? hypertone. its 20 million+ bpm and just sawtooth tone at that point. majority of it is fl studio garbage but i think you could dig around on youtube and find something good

honestly, I like a lot of music! anything that sounds nice, from 80s rock bands to early 2000s emo shiz to indie artists today! theres a lot of cool sounds out there, either with vocals or just in tracks. I listen to ambience and instrumental a lot too. Honestly, seeing you mention your autism reminded me that some of my musical taste is minorly influenced by my ADHD: overstimulating music like 100gecs sounds kinda crappy in theory but something about that ear ripping noise makes me focus for some reason, blocking out the other distracitons. Otherwise, I just like cool voices and poetic stuff haha

have you tried oingo boingo, the cars, or talking heads? i really like oingo boing; it’s got like this upbeat vibe that’s not annoying to me and helps me function when i’m overwhelmed.
I'VE HEARD OF OINGO BOINGO AND THE CARS AND TALKING HEADS, BUT I HAVEN'T REALLY LISTENED BEFORE. EXCEPT FOR OINGO BOINGO, I'VE LISTENED MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE. I'LL HAVE TO LISTEN TO THEM MORE AND CHECK OUT THE OTHER TWO YOU MENTIONED. THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS.
