Ay so this is basically a thread where I'm gonna list some bands/artists I recommend for really anyone who's looking for something to listen to or a new band to get into. This is gonna be sorta masterpost-y in that I'm gonna group them by genre/style/etc so if there's a particular thing you're looking for you can check out that tab. This is by no means a full list of all the music I like, just some notable suggestions. Also it's like one in the morning as of posting this so I apologize for any inconsistencies or typos 
So yeah I guess that's that, and without further ado here is my work-in-progress list of 2019 music suggestions
Disclaimers:
-Some of these artists may only be available on Spotify as that is the streaming service I use
-Many of these artists may fit well in multiple categories, I tried my best to place them in the category that seemed most accurate
Asterisked bands/artists = highly recommended
**Things I will try to come back and add as this is most definitely a WIP**
-notes about the style/sound of each individual band/artist
-more artists
-more categories
NOTE: I'm also open to the idea of making personalized playlists, hit me up if you're interested and if enough people are I'll open a thread and start doing that
Also, if anyone has suggestions for better categorization (i.e. move a band to a different category, a better name for a category, a separate category altogether) please let me know!!
