    Probably unbeknownst to me, I was part of the indie music scene.

    I know a few Ska heads but I'd have loved to be part of the Glam Rock scene or Motown!!!

    What's your scene? :cool: :p:D

    The only music I remember liking as a kid was the original Power Rangers theme (GO GO POWER RANGERS!!), but then into my late teens I was into dance, particularly the late 90's/early 00's when I was transitioning into my 20's, Tidy boys, hard dance, trance, hard house then eventually. Slowly moved away from that in the last 10 years and into 'happy' metal, ie: Gloryhammer, Alestorm, recently Wind Rose, etc. Like most things I like, my music needs to take me away from the monotony of real life, so the music I listen to know is all fantasy based, or made up. Great craic!

    The crap I come out with sometimes lol :pac:

    I like a bit of Northern Soul.

    I think there use to be or it appeared that if there was a shared interest in a type of music that people would group together and it was not just listening to the music but a lifestyle. You don't really see that so much these days.

    Anything from Adam Lambert to Taylor Swift... no wait, they’re in the same genre :o

    Amadeus to ZZ Top! :D

    Basically I just have YouTube Music do it’s thing with creating auto-playlists. It does a much better job than Spotify. I’ve no real particular genre, could listen to anything really.

    Tammy you’ll blow out your back dancing to that stuff. Pop a knee or something I used to dance to the hi energy rock n’ roll I didn’t care as long as it was uptempo and had a good hook but now I prefer the slow sets. Power ballads, n what not but I understand we don’t all read from the same hymn sheet.

    80s Hardcore, got into it at about 11 years old, there was just me and two other lads from a small fishing village next to were I lived into it in school, probably the only ones in Ireland really, even the metal heads looked down their noses at us, it was too loud, too aggressive too fast for their tastes, to the uninitiated it sounded like a wall of noise or a chainsaw but to us it was music on a higher level.

    I'm touching 40 now and it's still the only music I know of that has that insane energy level

    How is it a stupid thread? It's actually a really interesting topic. That comment just seems like snark for the sake of it, ditto the thanks it got.

    Anyway, unquestionably goth (British 80s one). Not that I was around for it but had I been, it was made for me.

    Love the atmospheric music of Siouxsie, Sisters of Mercy, Killing Joke, Bauhaus, The Cure etc. And the more stylish aspect of the look - medieval meets a hint of S&M. Patricia Morrison of Sisters of Mercy looked unreal imo. Plus it would have been a handy "scene" for me too as I've straight black hair and I'm pale as fook. I'm also one of those dreadful people who's not mad about the sun.

    I love the look in 60s/70s movies too - like the Hammer Horror films. Those women were stunning. And even Morticia Addams and the woman who played the mother in The Munsters.

    Of course it was silly and OTT at times, and very self absorbed (Sisters of Mercy were taking the piss but dunno about the others) - however a bit of theatre is fine by me!
