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 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!

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

      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.

      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.

      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 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.

      Legit, I’ve always been neutral to not a fan of jazz. But here lately, jazz bass has made that change. Ran into some Peewee Hill stuff, then saw some videos of him and Abraham Laboriel along with some other players. There’s just something about the bass being so central that made the switch in my head flip to the on position and make me hear jazz in a new way

    Jinjer - Pisces

    Although it’s not a comedic song in itself, when the chorus kicks in, the cognitive dissonance of that mismatching voice is funny. But then after 5 listens you are just impressed because it sounds good. And that made me unironically listen to it more and I put it in my playlist, recognizing the depth of the lyrics and that unique feeling of the song.

    That’s btw 1 of 2 songs from jinjer that are considered outliers and those are the only two that I like by jinjer which is very weird.

    Started listening to Buddy Holly by Weezer ironically for the meme edits some months ago, now Weezer is my favourite band.
