Do you like any unpopular music?

[moonbyu]

i've really been into shibuya-kei recently!
i'd say it counts as unpopular because every one of the bands/artists from the genre that i like have completely disappeared of the face of the earth, like pizzicato five, serani poji, cibo matto, orange lounge, etc. there's still a few artists out there like lamp and capsule though, so it's not completely dead ig.

I like Metallica's "St. Anger" album.

In all seriousness, pretty much all the artists I listen to are very mainstream. I think the "least popular" band I listen to has about 500k monthly Spotify listeners and a decent amount of fame, which is still a lot. I'll listen to a band's whole discography if I really like them, and I often find myself getting into their unpopular or lesser-known songs/albums.

Also, I barely know anyone around my age who likes the same music I do, so I guess there's the 'unpopular music' aspect. :x

literally my favourite musician of all time is Bruce Hornsby, and besides having a few hits (like "The Way It Is") I don't really hear about him anywhere. he deserves more credit for sure

Honestly, I've learned that some of the coolest stuff in a discography are the ones that are relatively unknown. That's the fun part of diving into a band.

I've mentioned before that Slither is one of my favorite Metallica songs. And it's just sitting in the middle of Reload

AC/DC is the biggest exception to me. The mainstream songs are fine but I don't like anything else they've produced.

i'm into a lot of indie bands like slow pulp and newdad! i like to find new music through certain song radios on spotify or song recs that friends will send me.

don't really know a lot of people who listen to the music that i do, but it's always nice when i meet someone who does!

I like certain Rock/Metal/Alternative bands who are clearly aren't as popular as they are good. I think the genre itself isn't as popular these days though.

 

[Kattea]

Hotel Mira is pretty niche/lowkey and I like them alot!

 

[Vhoop]

Ever since i got into rhythm games MYUKKE has become one of my favourite artists!!!

rhythm games ruined my taste in music istg

 

[VulpineVengeance]

I love Vocaloid and showtune-y songs!

 

[QueenCobra]

Yeah my music taste gets weird af. Aside from pop, I like folk songs from other cultures and yodeling music. I also LOVE “El Viejo de Sombreron” by La Sonora Dinamita. (or as I call it, the “beep beep beep” song based on the onomatopoeia in the song).

I also like New Age stuff.

ABBA!

As for show tunes— The HMS Pinafore and Pirates of Penzance are wonderful! (The latter has a good movie version with Linda Ronstadt, too.) As are Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Phantom of the Opera’s songs.

In middle school my favorite band was Dschinghis Khan. Some of their songs are still bangers though.

In high school I LOVED that song “Crazy Loop” by this Romanian (?) Guy and listened to it all the time. I also loved Aqua and Ace of Base. I even burned a few CDs of German pop and oldies lol.

Always been a Celtic Woman fan, too!

I also legitimately enjoy opera, especially ones by Rossini. But I also like more obscure ones, like “Il crociato in Egitto.” I also love vocal Baroque works by Bach, Lully, Handel, and others.

And it goes without saying I love most of Bach and Vivaldi’s work— but they’re popular in the Baroque music sphere.

Well, maybe not all of it is “unpopular” but obscure

A few years ago I was really into Neal Morse and his various bands. I've never met another person who has even heard of him.

Nowadays, I almost exclusively listen to Bollywood music, which from a global perspective isn't unpopular by any means, but could be considered unpopular if you're just looking at Western pop culture.

This past week I've also been listening to a lot of 90s-2000s weather channel music while working and I adore it LOL
