Film [IIL] Beau Is Afraid
I like psychological movies that aren’t just about bloodshed or mindless horror. I like the mentally ill aspects more. Hope that makes sense.

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 :)

I’ve tried listening to the XX, but I like the music more than I do the vocals and lyrics. Similarly with cigarettes after sex. I like the sound, composition, music, but not the biggest fan of the vocals/lyrics however I prefer CAS over the XX
Any good recs?

Can anyone recommend lots of female-fronted indie bands like Alvvays and Slippers?
I’m especially into jangly guitars, catchy melodies, dream pop, indie pop, and indie rock.
I’d love to discover some hidden gems. Thanks!

I need some new video essay YouTubers. Current favorites are J. Aubrey, Shanspeare, Funkyfrogbait, Farrell McGuire, Izzzyzzz, Defunctland, Dream Jelly, Nick Crowley, and The Right Opinion.
A weird mix, I know. I like the formality they all have to their videos and they usually make longer videos.
I really like how J. Aubrey will go in depth on one person or a handful of people, even covering the darker parts of things. Same with TRO.
Shanspeare looks at how patriarchy and biases get into everything even if we don’t notice it. I also like Funky for the same reasons.
Farrell and Nick just scratch that dark side of the internet itch for me.
Izzzyzzz, Dream Jelly, and Defunctland all tug on nostalgia, though for different reasons and Izzzyzzz tends to look at weirder/darker things.
I hope you guys have some ideas, feel free to ask questions if you need to.

I like goth music and I like hip-hop music. And Pixel Grip is not the only artist who mixes the two, but they’re one of the ones that I feel does it the best and the smoothest. Any recommendations? Every time I’ve shown a hip hop fan their music they tell me it sounds like house music. So any recommendations there too?
Edit: I already know about Sextile, Boy Harsher, Patriarchy and Boy Deluxe. I like all those bands too but I want other names

I recently came across Fur and ended up listening to them on repeat. There's something really comforting about their sound.
My favorite songs so far are "Never Knew" and "Not Enough."
If you know any bands or songs with a similar dreamy/indie/nostalgic vibe, I'd love to hear your recommendations.

I've been delving deep into indie shoegaze lately after finding out how good some of the music out of SEA is. I would love to get any recommendations anyone has for bands in the region that follow a similar vibe of the songs below that I already enjoy. Some of the songs below might not be shoegaze but are bands out of Indonesia that I like a lot right now, or shoegaze songs that I like from outside the region.

Hey everyone,
I’ve been absolutely obsessing over that specific song by Paranoid London, I’d be grateful to know your suggestions for more songs like this 🙏🏻
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Not-Cynical • 12h ago
I really like the "poppy/EDMey" beat of this song and just wanted to get some suggestions on other songs that are similar in beat.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/SoulToaster • 11h ago
love the traditional Romani folk vibes of the song and the tempo and general riff, but really wish it evolved into something stoner or doom metal by the end. I’ve tried to find others but it all sounds too piratey…
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Sharpis92 • 12h ago
Been listening to a lot of these 2 bands lately and really enjoy their more energetic, fast paced tracks, for AATS think 'Starfire 500' and 'Some Mutts'.
Not entirely sure what genre you'd class these as but would like to listen to more. The spotify recs haven't really been offering up anything in a similar vein.
Thanks

bonus points if part of the LGBTQ+ community, neurodivergent/disabled, or POC :3
edit: i like supporting smaller content creators. the examples given have more chill vibes/aren't super energetic, and tend to focus on crafts that incorporate elements of nature. i am a fan of cottagecore/whimsical stuff. i am queer/neurodivergent/disabled myself and i like seeing people who are like me, and i also like to support POC folx which is why that also matters to me
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Cismet • 1d ago
i think that song specifically, where the singer does like a low deep “desperate for changing, starving for truth” hits. it’s effortlessly good. I just listened to “Blind” by Lifehouse and it was good, but he didn’t do the thing with his voice like hanging by a moment. Anyone a big lifehouse fan and know what i mean/know a song he does it again?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/T3cT0nic • 17h ago
I’ve been obsessed with this song. I’ve been looking for music with a similar vibe but nothing I’ve been able to find has come close to how good this song sounds to me. Any suggestions? 🙏

I love a lot of mashups that initially seem like they shouldn't work, but I'm also hoping to find artists who match this sound. The combination of Fugazi's instruments and the vocals of the Wu-Tang Clan scratch a very specific itch in my brain. Are there any non-mashup artists who sound similar?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/farfetchedfrank • 1d ago
Songs like I hate summer by Fucked Up or Neverending Sunshine by King Tuff. Basically anything about being annoyed by hot weather.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/systemfa1lure • 1d ago
The song in the title. Somewhat "ethereal" music i'd say
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/imsohahha • 1d ago
i’m trying to curate a perfect playlist and i usually like to base my playlist on that, i guess it’s kind of early to medium 10’s instagram, tumblr and music vibe. i know the song isn’t fully out yet but it’s that vibe! hope someone can help!!
