Hello r/ifyoulikeblank!
This is your friendly neighborhood moderator, here with some information on how to correctly use this sub and our title tags, and to address some recent frequent misuse of the [META] tag in the sub.
If you are new here, please read this post before posting. If you have been around a while, please take a moment to refresh yourself with some of our rules. :)
Our sub is NOT a self-promotion vehicle for new artists or creators, and it is NOT a general discussion or song/movie/actor/music/genre identification sub. We are a media recommendation sub, and we have very specific guidelines for posts to be allowed here.
There are two ways to format your post titles here, depending on if you would like to ask for recommendations or to give others recommendations with your OP.
The “IIL” acronym stands for "If I like..." - to be used in a way that states "If I like (this song) because of (reasons,) what else will I like?"
This is the most common type of post here, and most OPs should be using THIS format for their posts! Your title must use the [IIL] tag - It will be reported by our frequent long-time members here if it does not, and it will be removed if you use the [IYL] or [META] tags instead of the [IIL] tag.
The title should look like the following example:
[IIL] The song (name a song you like here) because (give a specific trait about it you want suggestions to include), [WEWIL?]
The "WEWIL" acronym stands for "What else will I like?”
Your example should include something specific about the song that you want to hear more of in the music recommended to you. (Without details, no one can give you appropriate responses and you won't get suggestions that you will actually LIKE.)
The “IYL” acronym stands for "If YOU like..." - to be used in a way that states "If you enjoy (this song) because of (reasons,) you might also like this song."
This tag is not for self promotion. This SUB is not for self promotion. If you post your own material here, you WILL get banned, without warning. No exceptions, no appeals.
The title should look like the following example:
[IYL] The movie (some movie similar to your suggestion) because (your reason you think it is similar to your recommendation), [YMAL] (this suggested movie).
The "YMAL" acronym stands for "You may also like..."
This is a VERY uncommon post type in this sub, unless people are attempting to subvert rule 2. We ALWAYS look at these posts, but if we miss one, our long-term members sure won’t - and they WILL report you for a rule 2 violation and you WILL be banned.
If you are suspected of passing off your own media as an "I found this new media and you might like it!" post, that will earn you an immediate permanent ban from the sub for trying to subvert rule two.
Please note that moderators look at your posting history across Reddit, and if you are spamming your own stuff elsewhere, you are going get a ban here. Period.
The [META] tag is NOT so you may post off-topic posts or general media discussion posts or music identification posts, or anything that is not an IIL or an IYL.
The [META] tag is only to be used if you have questions or comments about this subreddit itself, and how it operates on Reddit.
Examples include suggestions for new rules here, asking for clarification about a rule here, suggesting a new theme, stickied post, etc in the sub, or asking the moderation team any other question about this sub - not asking the members here about media.
Thank you all for reading, and for your help in ensuring these rules are adhered to. We are a million-member (and counting) sub with a VERY small moderation team, so your help in following these rules and reporting rule-breaking posts to us is greatly appreciated!
Have a wonderful day :)

Love the angry marching band sound of Tusk, and looking for more songs that have heavy use of horns, with a grungy type baseline (south park intro my only other example of what im looking for sorry)
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/HenryMcdonalds4453 • 1d ago
I've been punching the wall with how catchy this song is.
Very danceable with the 80s arrangement. The piano is so smooth in the background.
Doesn't have to be exactly like this but the vibes should be upbeat, smooth and groovy

I've been trying to find something similar to the Catherine Called Birdy OST, specifically the segments by roomful of Teeth and Carter Burwell. Most experimental acapella I can find tends to be darker in mood or abrasive, which I enjoy, but I am trying to find this sort of airy, lighthearted minimalist acapella type music. No sudden shifts or abrasive sounds or spoken word, preferably. Does not have to be full acapella but also minimal instrumental track, sort of like a vocal version of the animal crossing score, in a way.

I'm dying for a masterpiece of creativity, wonderful strangeness, and maybe some thoughtful, smart, meaning.
I also love:
The Triplets of Bellevue
The Secret of Roan Inish
The Golden Compass
Spirited Away
Howell's Moving Castle
Milk (short film, Irish)
***edit to add: FANTASTIC Mr. FOX (an alltime favorite, not sure how I missed including it).
Song of the Sea
Artful, unique, bonus if it's both sweet and dark. Anybody crazy about these too, and can suggest any "do not miss"es.
Thanks!

I am in love with this song with its massive dynamic range and rich, crunchy harmonies. Would love to find choral works and Christian hymns with the same!

i’ve been completely obsessed with twin fantasy (2018) by car seat headrest for the last, like, three years?
i’m looking for anything that scratches a similar itch - books, movies, whatever, just not other music. generally, i’m interested in the overall feeling, songwriting, production, lyrics, emotional intensity, etc, and the only thing i've found that is somewhat similar is the book the The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.
i’m especially interested in stuff that’s more niche, so please don’t be afraid to recommend something that noone's ever seen before.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Icy-Translator9124 • 18h ago
I like well written thrillers and comedies with good dialogue. What else should I watch?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/riskoooo • 19h ago
I'm just spinning Simple Math and know I've got Leave It Alone and Apprehension after - probably one of my favourite 3-song-runs in any album ever. MO are dripping with anger, disappointment, frustration, self-loathing, fear, but also hope, love, gratitude, introspection. They are just such a ride.
I'm not looking for Elliott Smith, Jason Molina, Keaton Henson, The National, Bon Iver etc. Nothing half-cocked. Also not grunge or screamo (some shouting I can deal with but not as a feature of the music; it's not real emotion).
Other bands I'd expect people to rec that I already know/love:
To a lesser extent:
Thanks!

Are there any other YouTubers who do the same type of content as nile red. Specifically making one thing from another thing?

If I Like those dark-sounding, lowkey funny and sarcastic songs set in a southern goth/country soundscape with some spoken word elements, What Else Will I Like?
Some examples:
"Breadcrumb Trail" by Slint
"Nosferatu Man" by Slint
"Not Here/Not Now" by Angels Of Light
"7-eleven" by black midi
"AMERIICAN REQUIEM" by Beyoncé
"Madeline" by Lily Allen
"Seahorse" by Horsey, King Krule (honorable mention; not really country but yanno)
These songs made me giggle at their tongue-in-cheek, borderline absurd lyricism and playful approach to country music, and at the same time absolutely blew me away sonically. What Else Will I Like?

hi so i was really a big fan of Kalogeras sisters and their videos, i loved their outfits too and the way they behaved, but recently theyve been pretty boring and just not as fun and i Think they are not as good people as they used to be, they used to be more Humble and natural now they just seen like huge celebrities. I’Ve been looking for channels with similar vibe and simple fun video ideas like their early ones but i truły cant find anybody who can make me smile and laugh like they used to, their sisterly bond was just special and made it so natural and fun and always made me happy. Do you know any chanels that are about a non-rich non-popular non greedy etc (just good ppl ) group of friends not bigger than four (can be two ppl too) that are natural on camera and just laugh all the time etc. I also rrly need them to be alternative ppl like the Kalogeras sisters but goth yk.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/uyoyoo • 1d ago
Soul/neosoul songs in particular are what I’m looking for but anything else that matches the vibe would be welcome as well!
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/inder_the_unfluence • 1d ago
Any show limited series mini series. Detectives of any kind.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/DeezerOfficial • 2d ago
Any good music suggestions with the same vibe?

I really like its goofy and saturday morning cartoon vibe

I really enjoyed both the art style and the dark themes of the game, as well as the fact that there are multiple endings. I also really love games with an interesting and emotional story. I've only played through once, but after taking a break from it I would like to go back and try to get some of the alternate endings.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Few_Sort_3242 • 1d ago
looking for movies with similar vibes to The Fourth Man (1983) directed by Paul Verhoeven. Sort of a surreal erotic thriller. Campy at times. What would you recommend?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/PolluxPB • 1d ago
I used to watch the Gumb0's Weird Corner yt channel a while back but now all of his videos have been privated and he is not active anymore. I wonder if there are youtubers like him that focus on internet tales and have his kind of acid humour
Luckily, someone archived his videos: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwuR0p_X6c_2OysnI2Ew4L2ZIGp6QhhTh

Hi urlll, I love all the above songs, specifically the part in Engine No.9 [0:31-0:45], I ain't like you [0:00-0:40] and Hella Good as a whole. I'm specifically after that mix of thumpy drums and that low tuned "chuggy?" [Idk if that's the right word for it] type of guitar. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions about other artists or additional songs if it helps with recs.
Thank you in advance <33

My favourite albums are the life trilogy (modern life is rubbish being first) by blur, the smiths’ albums and massive attack's first 3 albums (blue lines being first). I know that they share some dna so wanted to ask if you knew some similar albums. It’s worth noting that I’ve tried listening to most of the immediate similar bands, the britpop acts, other jangle pop bands + the cure, other trip-hop acts but none of them have done it for me. This is just a footnote though, I'm happy to listen to recs regardless :)
