Hi everyone!
I know, alternative is an umbrella term for several subcultures but I struggle to figure out to which Id belong. Ideological wise I agree with most I think but music wise I listen to sooo much.
I've been listening to alternative music for basically my entire life since my mom used to be a goth who also listened to some punk and emo music. + I just enjoy lots of alternative music. But since I started also dressing more alternative, I've been asked, what specific subculture I belong to. And I genuinely dont even know what subculture I would belong to according to my music taste. When I look up artists I enjoy, they usually get listed under "alternative" and nothing more specific, help. Also IF an artist gets listed with a more specific genre, I usually don't like more popular artists within said genres
For example I listen to inuday or thxsomuch who apparently fall under post punk or dark wave but I kinda dont like other post punk and darkwave bands I find when I look up said genres.
Here some artists I enjoy a lot for reference:
Inuday
Thxsomuch
Starset
Mitski
Cavetown
Elio Mei
Soushi Soucy
Sir Chloe
Jack Staubers Micropop
Mother Mother
Rio Romeo
Strawberry Milk Cult
Phoebe Bridgers
Cigarettes after Sex
Bring me the Horizon
Sleep Token
This must be such a messy list lol, but most of these are listed as alternative, alternative rock or alternative indie (at least by google). What kind of alternative am I now *sob
Also, I'd love music recommendations if I'm here anyways
