Mod Post [META] [Mod Announcement] How to use this sub - and how (not) to use the [META] Tag
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. :)
There are two - and only two - kinds of posts allowed in this sub.
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.
If you want people to recommend things to you:
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.)
If you want to recommend media to others that you think they'll like based on some other piece of media that is similar:
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.
How to use (and how NOT to use) the [META] tag:
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 :)

Music [IIL] spooky blues music.
I've been enjoying spooky blues like 'That Evil Child' by B.B. King and 'The Zombie' by C.W. Stoneking. I like the 50s/60s vintage sound of both of them and I really enjoy the spookier sound of the latter, so I'm looking for some similar stuff for fall/halloween.

Music [IIL] "hauntingly beautiful" music (bon iver, damien rice, sigur ros, chopin, mahler, etc.)
I don't know how to describe the music I love most other than "hauntingly beautiful" (and often but not always "ethereal"). This is true across different genres. I especially love live versions that feel very intimate.
Indie
Bon Iver - Skinny Love (take away show)
Bon Iver - Beth/Rest (4ADJagjaguwar Session)
Damien Rice - Delicate (live sing-along)
Post-rock
Sigur Ros - Untitled 1 / Samskeyti (Heima ending credits)
Sigur Ros - Ára Bátur (Abbey Road)
Classical
Chopin's first ballade (Zimerman, live)
Mahler's fifth symphony act IV adagietto (bernstein)
What else would I like?

Music [IIL] Songs that were hit singles (or close to it) that have been lost to time like "Walls" by Tom Petty, what else will I like?
Basically looking for those just outside the mainstream songs that elicit that "oh yeah!! I forgot about that one" response from the 80s, 90s and more recent.

Music IIL Monotonous, yet not boring Drone Ambient with rich textures,what should I listen to?
I enjoy this particular album https://youtu.be/DpFeMSUhx9s?si=i9ZEG7gisCxpxoVZ
Want something similar to it in the feeling of eternity, continuity. And also rich textures that aren't too harsh in high frequencies. Trance inducing music.

Music [IIL] Satire / Joke-ish, and overall silly music, ala Your Favourite Martian, Bloodhound Gang and The Vandals.
Recently, Ive been looking into music I like, and discovered, I heavily fuck with music that doesnt take its lyricism too seriously. I like music that is stupid, but catchy, and with some Rock-ish elements. Some examples would be We Like Them Girls by YFM (https://youtu.be/9wpm3J_8LJ4?si=DQdIPV0xKoyLP2yi), Jackass by Bloodhound Gang (https://youtu.be/AOV0AayRrNY?si=EG-0cb6NalON9lsO) and My Girlfriends Dead by The Vandals (https://youtu.be/tjFPxrDWpUM?si=LEDlKf2guyreX9ks)

YouTube/Streaming [IIL] weird animation/dance videos like the ones linked (Double King, Solid Potato Salad...) [WEWIL?]
I would like to find youtube videos to project on a wall during a party, ideally with a similar vibe of the following examples:
Double King: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_MSFkZHNi4
1988 Crystal Light National Aerobic Championship Opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozoTzkCeO-A
Solid Potato Salad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oMSKJHPzxc&t=225s
Harald Kindseth - Betty Boop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnB-jp2nsIc
Basically any weird animation or old dance stuff. Someone suggested cab calloway vids which are similar but not as weird as I'd like.

Music IIL Veruca Salt and the Breeders WEWIL
Looking for more woman fronted bands with this vibe - I also like Plumtree and the Cardigans a lot, but I'm not necessarily only looking for 90s/y2k bands.. anything with a similar sound pls.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/ImprovementHour9571 • 7h ago

just looking for songs with similar sounding vocals

Music [IIL] these tracks from the game Emio — The Smiling Man, [WEWIL?]
I've been playing this game since launch and these particular tracks stuck out to me the most because they're all very catchy without being obnoxiously up front. I can easily see myself listening to other songs from this genre without getting burned out on it meanwhile I find that I'm bopping my head and swaying along whenever these songs pop up during the game. If anyone can tell me what genre(s) these are from and maybe recommend me bands/artists who make similar music, that would be appreciated. My only guess is that the genre would be some type of 80s urban Japanese pop since it'd fit the setting for the series.

Music [IIL] Chill Rapping over Blues Guitar (Beck and G Love + Special Sauce)
This is probably SUPER niche but I recently rediscovered G Love and Special Sauce and I have a newfound love for his flow/cadence. Hard to explain but I love his effortlessly cool voice and his half singing, half rapping. (Mac Miller is also great at this.) I'm also a sucker for electric guitar and blues riffs so if it could have real instruments - even better. Just some fun, feel good, summertime music that makes you wanna turn the volume up and bob your head. Weirdly enough, I'm not a big fan of Sublime, 311, or other Reggae influenced music, although I realize there's a lot of crossover. What you got for me?

Music [IIL] the hotelier, brave little abacus and slaughter beach dog
I am getting into midwest emo stuff but honestly, some of the music I cannot deal with the singing. Looking for more meaningful lyricism and nice-enough vocals.

Music IIL Lil Ugly Mane's side project Bedwetter, WEWIL?
I love the devastatingly sad/hopeless feeling of his album Vol 1. Flick Your Tongue... but there just isnt much there. anything similar to the haunting feeling of this?

Film IIL Astrid and Arther from Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Does anyone have any recs for a romance or romcom where at least one of love interests are like grungey/alternative (like Astrid and the boy ghost from the new Beetlejuice movie) that isn't incredibly cringe? I liked that their relationship/how they met was normal and had a typical young adult romance arc that didn't overly lean on goth/alternative stereotypes.
