[spoiler]Gonna warn each and everyone one of you -blam!- heads, I can identify genres about as well as some sod with aphantasia can visualize some damn apple, so give me some grace.[/spoiler]
I've gotten into making stylized playlists recently, though I won't share specific playlists unless asked. I say this to... to [i]say[/i] that I have been attempting to organize these songs despite my ineptitude with the subject matter.
Ah, I feel like I'm rambling, so I'll get straight to it. For the fellow music enjoyers (If you listen to calm your ADHD, just know I feel you), feel free to share recent or all time favorites, songs you think I might enjoy, songs that might fit the theming of any of the playlists I mention, or just something neat you discovered.

My first playlist that I'll bring up is entirely based around the in-universe rock music that's part of the car radios in Cyberpunk 2077, a game I have grown to love over a few playthroughs. Samurai, Johnny Silverhand's band (it's actually just Refused), has tracks on Spotify that I've included. Some genres (note the stipulations above) are some funky kind of modern rock that I can't pin down and anything that sounds relatively industrial, alongside some songs included just for their lyrical themes.

(A note, this is, as stated, a song actually from Cyberpunk. Some small demon with a sticky note labelled "IMPOSTER SYNDROME" is trying to tell me that's cheating, but I have bug spray on hand.)

(See note above.)
[url=https://open.spotify.com/track/6QmOtFyz9Va5G5uRQArz0H?si=c63529e41c374fd5]New Comedown - Plague Vendor[/url]
(Really nice rock song that is strangely similar to many songs actually in Cybperunk, though I can not find any relation to the game.)
I'd share more for this Cyberpunk-esque playlist, but I made the mistake of adding a bunch of Spotify recs' to the thing and it's all jumbled and full of unrelated songs atm, so not now.

This next playlist is based around my incredibly apparent obsession with Warhammer, and is part of a 4-playlist series devoted to each of the chaos gods. I started the playlists because I felt that the available playlists devoted to each of the Ruinous Powers did not really emphasize the God's characteristics, so in my (officially not diagnosed) autistic rage, put together my own Chaos God playlists.
Just as a teaser for the other 3
Tzeentch - Classic dubstep and some DnB.
Khorne - The obvious choice: Slam Death and some other angry songs.
Nurgle - Sludge/Doom Metal (Not the game series).
The playlist I actually want to highlight, as the one I am most proud of, is the Slaaneshi playlist, based around Darksynth and my younger self's obsession with Synthwave in all of its forms, a direct result of being exposed to the Holy Motion Picture of Cool (Tron: Legacy). With all of that Panzer Lore out of the way, some highlights of the playlist:
[url=https://open.spotify.com/track/0F1yb5tFzXDocAXqcljA9H?si=eba4f70d50df4089]She Swallowed Burning Coals - El Tigr3[/url]
(Not quite synthwave or darksynth, I think, but again, I've expressed how inept I am with genres.)
[url=https://open.spotify.com/track/4GBJomKlZNRnODfpL299pw?si=334ed849abe348a5]Dark All Day - Gunship, et al[/url]
(Good song, good artist. Nuff said.)
[url=https://open.spotify.com/track/2zGsystFbZwMAlrJYxPHNL?si=b2b6a1ee846648d0]Dark Prince, Pt. 3 - Atrey[/url]
(Very fun song, not sure if it is Darksynth, but it's close, for sure.)
[url=https://open.spotify.com/track/5QD4KgpM9TDIPMe7x7pbyV?si=10cd6844e6514864]Sigils - Vulta[/url]
(If this isn't darksynth, I'm not a tank! Aside from that, very similar to Roller Mobster and other songs by Carpenter Brut, who you will likely recognize if you enjoy this style of music.)

There is one other playlist that is much closer to my current preference in music, but this post is already growing onerous even for me, so please, give me engagement and shizz and comment your own songs. Ready? Break!

I have found a song recently called Man Spins Black by Wonderaven. It’s the only song they’ve released as far as I have seen, but it’s pretty good I definitely recommend. A recent band I’ve been obsessed with is Good Kid. They’re an indie rock band and they have some mad catchy songs. I recommend all their stuff. And finally my all time favorite artist is Cg5. Definitely check him out for some pop music, pop-culture songs, and meme songs.
