Post Malone - Hollywood's Bleeding (Whether you like him or not - great song. About all the evil in Hollywood, how the public and celebrities are aware of it, but can't bring themselves to end their relationship with it. Ozzy helped with this album, & produced and sang on a song).

Is auto tune the right term to describe the way his voice sounds? I think it might be why I dislike it. Like I understand it's used by a lot of artists, but I think it makes it sound a little weird sometimes.

It's most definitely auto-tuned, I can see why you don't like it for that reason. To be honest, I originally didn't like auto-tuned music either, it grew on me. Only in the last few years did I start expanding my musical tastes to everything, things before the 90's which lead to me checking out some modern artists I didn't give a chance because of social views or taboos. But a lot of modern music is so fake/over-produced nowadays, it's terrible. But on the other side of the coin, there's still music like this that has meaning too, versus songs like gucci gang.

Ironically, the album that got me ok with auto-tune was Kanye's 808's and Heartbreak. I know he's taboo too, but he's an interesting individual with some interesting concepts and views, probably the biggest artist to discuss these things. 808s is a good album with good lyrics that was ahead of it's time imo.

Same dude, I realised that some music is just made to hear it, feel good. Every week I try a new genre, also helps to try music from different countries. Today I discovered this: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHog37a4FcAbW_NplUsyQLA

I wish I understood the lyrics, the visuals and music are great. I just listened to/watched VILLILÄNSI and KOMERO. Are they a group? they have some 80's new wave vibes which I've been listening to a lot of lately lol.

They're nothing alike really, but it reminded me of this Russian mixtape I listen to from time to time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypknY6nIDe0

Have no idea wtf they're saying but it's great. I thought it was weird (the singing style and voice, especially) at first and only listened for like 2 minutes, then a few hours later the keyboards were stuck in my head.. I just had to listen again lmao. Now I go back to the mixtape every few months, since I don't understand it, it's like one long ass song to me lmao (skip to the second song, so good, 4:05).

Yeah, foreign language music is pretty weird. After I got in love with Rammstein I started learning german, I think I got a grasp of the language but because of the low commitment I'm not advanced. Didn't renounce to it tho...

If you are interested in romanian vibes, I recommend these artists:

Dude these are dope! I need to give them all an authentic listen, I really dig Vedeți Că Asta E Lungă & the Silent Strike "Need u Now" songs after a quick 30 second preview of each.

I remember when Romania seemed so behind musically to Americans when O Zone - "Dragostea din tei Majahi Majahoo" went viral lmaooo. It was like they were releasing their version of our 90's boy band music when we had already moved passed that to gangster rap and "emo rock". But I guess the internet and time changed that.

None of these are mainstream though...

I discovered "Am fost la munte si mi-a placut" recently and they are nice to listen on a bike ride.

MesQuins is kind of a weird one, made by Silviu Gherman (and Ovidiu Chihaia), a comedian that makes absurd comedy, this band is kind of ironic, making fun of non-conformism but also has interesting topics. For example my favorite song is Mentorica which presents the perspective of a man who is desperate for fun, he is selling books and doesn't talk with anybody, he wants to try drugs but feels so out of the loop, it feels so weird, you kind of identify with him in this era, you spend more time by yourself and you suddenly realise you want to have fun.

Invaders from Silent Strike is my favorite song and is in the intro of "Hackerville" made by HBO.

Alternosfera feels very intense sometimes, you get caught in the rythm, once I almost showed my christian parents that I love rock listening to one of their songs.
