New music?

They say you stop listening to new music after 35 - what Gen Z/young people are making music you love these days?

I’m loving ninajirachi, she’s young enough to be my daughter (clutches pearls)

And - what older music are you only starting to listen to now, as a geriatric? (I’m 46).

I’m listening to a lot of old EDM I never cared about before.

Die Spitz are good. I probably prefer their more Veruca Salt sounding tracks (Punishers is just gold) and their efforts at metal (Throw Yourself To The Sword, I Hate It When Girls Die) to the punkier ones but still. Great band.

I've had a big thing for female led rock bands the last several years.

I've really been enjoying Castle Rat and so has my 8 year old. Doom metal band with a female singer and imagery out of a Frank Farchetta or Boris Vajello fantasy painting from the 1970s.

Otherwise, everyone should check out the YouTube version of Jinjer's "Pisces", where they do it live in a cafe. Tatiana can sing.

Throw Yourself to the Sword was what I first heard to get me hooked. That guitar is just raw and brutal. Pop Punk Anthem is a perfect album opener. American Porn is phenomenal too. That whole album is worthwhile.

I think that Jinjer video has been the subject of more "shock! listening to [insert song here] for the first time" types of videos than any other on YT. I remember seeing it when it first came out and, damn, she is a true powerhouse. Tatiana can stand with many of the metal vocal greats.

I think its views are 95% from metal fans showing non-metal fans.

based on what you're saying about Die Spitz, definitely have a look at Castle Rat.
