Oh, my bad. I thought you meant our very own Music Banter Plankton.

edit: if I ever write out a list of new bands and artists I recently discovered I'm sure I will add the real Plankton from MB to it.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Over the past fifteen years I've gone through multiple phases. Where I am now is the inevitable end result of getting bored by the extreme music I adored as a teen. My literal starting point at 11 was from my uncle's stash (The Fall, Velvet Underground, all of Cale's solo stuff) and ballooned outwards from there into post-punk, some glitch-hop, grind and RIO.

I could see that happening for me as well. Even just these last few weeks, I haven't really felt like listening to any sort of extreme metal. I feel like I'm going to move away from metal in general over time, but I don't know for sure, of course. But it seems likely that at least the extreme stuff with harsh vocals is going to diminish.

RIO?

I feel ya bruh. Extreme metal is a mood thing for me at this point rather than my base setting.

I still love a lot of the post-punk that's my foundation, but the big turning point for me was discovering bands like Ambrosia and Toto, who were very pop oriented but at the same time had highly technical grasps on composition, melody etc. And I discovered I appreciated that element in a lot of progressive rock that I dug into when I was about midway through college.

I hardly have anything in common musically with my friends from way back when today (most of them started musically where I did and just stopped looking for new stuff once they got into college). But if you started listening to The Fall or Swans like I did at 11 but twenty years later you think nobody can do better than them, then that's fine too.

EDIT: RIO stands for Rock In Opposition. I adored that **** for a long time.
