I didn't rule them out, so they're all cool if you have some recs that you think I really need in my life.

alt-country

avant-folk

he's not bad though, just weird that someone knows who he is outside of the country or province really.

I'm gonna ignore the list and recommend hip hop exploration.

Aww but it's the most boring genre in the whole world. Outside of rockabilly and a few other obvious offenders.

Rockabilly is objectively speaking the lamest genre ever.

rocknroll in one of its purest forms

straight adrenaline no chaser

I'm not just being negative here; that really just did bore me halfway to death. Very uninteresting, predictable, formulaic guitar playing - just covered up behind a layer of fuzz and lo-fi recording. To my ears, there's really nothing to this at all. I've heard a lot more than Elvis. Years ago, I owned this big compilation album of all sorts of rockabilly artists. They sounded mostly jaw-droppingly samey.

it's cool though different strokes

Was the track you posted anything else than wank? Just a wank session bound by an incredibly specific set of boundaries as far as chords, tempo, rhythm and scales go.

But yeah, different strokes.

Hey don't worry about it. I feel alienated by other people's music tastes all the time.
