I got into music through classic bands like Gang of Four, and went through a long grunge and classic alternative phase. Eventually I wanted something more modern and experimental, instead of just replaying bands I already knew. That's pretty much how this playlist happened back in 2024. I'm still actively adding to it and always looking for more. If you know any bands or songs that fit this sound and are not on my playlist, please let me know.

It's mostly modern post-punk and garage punk, with some art punk, egg punk, crank wave, and synth-punk mixed in. They're pretty different subgenres, but they blend together well.

Some songs lean more synth-driven, some are rougher and messier, while some are both at once. I tried to keep it cohesive despite mixing subgenres.

This started as a small playlist in 2024, but I kept coming back to it and adding more, and somewhere along the way this whole sound became my favorite. It’s mostly modern psych and garage rock, with some surf and space influences. A lot of tracks feel pretty progressive and experimental within the current music scene.

I like that it doesn’t all sound the same. Some of it’s more spacey, while other songs get a bit more raw and garage-ish (maybe even slightly punk), or both at the same time. These genres mix pretty well I think.

I still add to it whenever I find something that fits. Figured I’d share so people can give me some more suggestions. Have fun.

Anyone able to help? Much appreciated.
