Music
I don't have a particularly conventional taste in music. To get an idea of what I enjoy listening to, I thought it would be neat to make a list of some of my favorite artists. I'll list organize them by genre and whether the artists allow you to legally obtain their music for free without something disgusting like Spotify, YouTube or Soundcloud.
One day, I might have a review on all of these artists... One day...
As it stands I will write a little blob of text whenever I feel like it.

My music taste has changed quite since I last touched this document. I listen to quite a lot of Neurofunk and Breakcore as well these days- not to mention, I now have a wider understanding of electronic music in general.
It is also quite interesting to see how much of the listed artists I still remember the general style of when reaidng their name.
Black Metal
I do not endorse any of the views expressed by these artists unless mentioned (I mention this at the black metal section as black metal tends to have a bit of a rampant nazi problem)
