I like The Man Behind The Slaughter by The Living Tombstone. I don’t tend to enjoy fan-made music, but this one was too groovy to pass up.

    I have none that I listened to ironically, I think that’s a next generation thing… but I have plenty that were unavoidably on the radio that I can listen to now with warm nostalgia at the distinct lack of twerking, large asses, and shallow(er) lyrics.

      When I first saw Gimme Chocolate as a share on Facebook, I thought BabyMetal were a one hit wonder meme band. Cool and fun but not a “real” band, I didn’t think anymore about it.

      A few years later I heard they were releasing a second album and I was like “these guys are actually serious?!”. I checked out more of their stuff and got hooked.

      At that time in my life I had been listening to metal for well over a decade and was wondering if I was actually getting bored of it. BabyMetal were a huge breath of fresh air to the scene.

        I honestly can’t remember any band or song names, I just know it’s fun as to listen to after a few drinks.

            ‘Ex Deo is a Canadian death metal band formed in Montreal, Quebec in 2008. The band is a side project of Kataklysm frontman Maurizio Iacono, and is based on the history of the Roman Empire.’

            I somehow switched to them while listening to Behemoth yesterday. Not exactly my flavour, but they weren’t bad.

    I want to say Clown Core but the insane talent is obvious almost immediately. you might click on it ironically but you’ll never listen that way twice.

    I guess Baby Metal fits the bill better.

      I’m listening to “Hell” and I must admit I am not only impressed but also deeply afraid. I will never listen to this again. Thanks for sharing!

      My music instructor suggested them for me to listen once. I could tell by his tone, that this suggestion was ironic at least on some level (he was only half-expecting me to like it), but after I gave it a listen and we started discussing it, it became obvious that both of us like this music pretty intensely and unironically.

      I personally view Clown Core as a conceptual musical comedy. They utilize the clown aesthetic as a framing context, in which they use MAD SKILLS to inspect and subvert all expectations about music structure, direction, tone and sound.

      This sounds like the soundtrack to an action-cyberpunk reinterpretation of Ed Edd n Eddy that still maintains the slapstick element

      My roommate showed me and said the same thing. Then I showed my boss and he started listening to it unironically.

      I do still go and listen to some of them sometimes, myself.

    Because of Fallout New Vegas I got into songs about that like “Blue shadows on the trail” by Roy Rogers and that’s like era of cowboy music that fits the theme if that aesthetic, even have a playlist for it, when I Play DayZ

    I grew up on hip-hop never thought I’d be hearing this

    I will still champion “That’s Not My Name” by Ting Tings. It’s a well-crafted pop song that most people miss the “subtlety” (for lack of a better word) of the message. It’s about a woman wanting to be social, but hating all of the poor flirtation in the pick-up scene.

    And I never knew it until I had it on an exercise mix and was able to hyper focus on it while trying to zone out in my cadence run. It usually just glossed by as a chippy beat.
