I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
I really bounce around a lot to be honest... I got eclectic tastes and I think that's one reason why this genre-changing thread works so well for me cause I'm open to liking any kind of music.
But, I think classic rock is my all-time go-to. And you might think, that's cheating, classic rock includes so much... it's just like any type of rock that is old and you'd be right, hahaha! But aside from that, I've really been enjoying funk these past few years... both old and new funk. For the old stuff, it's been The Meters, The Neville Brothers, Funkadelic, Sly & The Family Stone... for the new stuff, I really like Parcels, Vulfpeck, The Fearless Flyers, etc.
But, I still regularly pop on some good hip hop or retrowave/synthwave music... actually the synthwave stuff has been one of my more recent obsessions over the past year. I love the band called The Midnight. They got a vibe that just really gels with me. 😎
How about you — do you have a favorite genre of music?
I started with JS about 10 years ago and I fell in love with it (even though it can be weird 😅). I had step backs in my career that ended up being good. Currently I'm a passionate front-end developer.
Hey, I listened some music from all those artists and I added like 6 new songs to my playlists...
You know, I was very familiar with the new funk, I know all of those, but I didn't new none of the classic ones, and it sounds excellent to be more productive. Maybe this is not funk exactly, but it reminded me a bit of Four Tops (Reach Out I'll Be There is top-notch).
The Midnight... The vocalist sounds a lot like the vocalist from The Royal Concept, but the style reminds me a lot like Vacation Manor (listen to Magic, but they have a ton of good music), and of course they remind me to, Revelator Eyes from Paper Kites.
Me? I listen to a lot of music, I like Jazzy, Latin (I'm Latin... merengues, canta autor, folklore), Italian, 50's, disco, instrumental... but... I do have a favorite genre, indie style music, and yes, that covers a wide range of music too, haha. I'd like to hear music that I won't hear in any place, and I love to recommend music that is not popular to people and then they ask me how did I get those amazing tunes, and it is amazing when I find people who also know a lot of my music.
Every now and then I have a favorite band that I stick to for like 2 years or more, currently is Nature TV, they have such an amazing music and sometimes I feel they are so underrated, these are just a few of their amazing tunes: Gracie (personal favorite), You And Me, Hometown, Inventory
And currently I'd been listening to a southern-like style, like Jesse Woods, Sumbuck, Caamp... Maybe not so southern-style, but I believe You'll like this one Michael Nau - No Quit
I know it is a lot of music, I had some free time haha, but the last one you should hear, hopefully it will fit with you.

Wow!!! Thanks for digging into my suggestions and for chocking this message full of your own recommendations. This is so dope!
I appreciate you taking the time to put this together! Also, I'd love to get introduced to more Latin music... I don't know it all that well, but I like it and am open to being shown more. I just put on this Juan Pablo Vega song and it's great — first one of your suggestions I've put one, but you can bet I'll be digging through your whole list.

Haha, I so relate to this! It's fun to go exploring for new tunes and then to turn yourself and your friends onto stuff that you otherwise like wouldn't find. You might've heard the term crate digging, we are the modern-day digital crate diggers, my friend. 😀
Anywho, I'm gonna continue cruising through your suggestions and will let ya know my thoughts. By the way, just started listening to Magic and I totally totally hear the connection to The Midnight. The singer sounds extremely similar and the vibes of the music are also very much in line with something they'd do! Such a great suggestion!

Well, there you have! If you ever need more, you know who to call.
And no doubt I'm a modern crate digger, haha.
Actually, one of the reasongs (🥁) of why I remembered this is because recently I've discovered an amazing artist that has amazing songs in a reggae style, so I had to recommend it to you, only 2 song to not make this list bigger:

Hey! (Casually appearing a month later just like nothing)
Sorry for the very late reply, been pretty busy trying to create content, learning, with a client... however, I didn't forget this, haha.
It would be a pleasure to give you an introduction to Latin music, but this is my take, not what everybody listens. (Except for the classics)
Juan oh! Juan (101) Latin intro (My take)
Classics:
Songs with beautiful lyrics
To move your feets
Well, there you have! If you ever need more, you know who to call.
And no doubt I'm a modern crate digger, haha.

I don't think you'll like them, I think you'll love them.
