    Hey everybody! Thanks for watching this video on "5 Albums to Expand Your Taste in Music". Lately I've gotten a lot of suggestions for more general, rapid-fire videos like this. There's a whooooooole world of weird subgenres within the greater, music landscape, and we're gonna try to preview a few of them. Please, for the love of everything, this video is not trying to go into crazy detail about the most authentic forms of these subgenres. This is simply meant to introduce people to this stuff that they might not know. Let me know what you think down below and thanks for watching!

      hey I trust Alfo as well but for a video like this you can get a similar list of albums from the top charts on rateyourmusic.com. If you want to find top albums in genres it is pretty good, or you can dig thru top of all time charts until you get to something you haven’t heard before and read the reviews/descriptors to find out more about it.

      @@mishab4065 It's a bit difficult to define what genre exactly WEG is known for, but some people do actually classify as post-rock because of no vocals and some rock instrumentation too (as Simon Reynolds said that the genre is best described as "rock music using rock instrumentation for non-rock purposes, using guitars as facilitators of timbre and textures rather than riffs and power chords" in his review on Hex by Bark Psychosis, the first ever post-rock album that coined the term itself) but most of the stuff that he in fact has done from Farewell Kingdom to his most recent mini-album Meguri is described as a hybrid between glitch and modern classical because of classical instrumentation like violin and cello and simultaneous skipping and chopping that 65dos would incorporate in their music. The point is that his music is genreless at one point, because he actually reinvents itself at each album (e.g. Ending Story was a glitchy plunderphonics record with IDM touches on tracks 2 and 7. But when we get to Hurtbreak Wonderland, it sounds like a completely different artist but with the same glitchy spirit of his earlier works.) This guy is very difficult to get into, and some people (who are not into the glitch genre and his music overall) might find his glitchy mix with classical and post-rock annoying. If you really want a great introduction to this guy, check out his collaboration with Mono, they released a handful of albums that can be considered post-rock. But yeah I understand your point.

CGPP IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE AS WELL I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN I HEARD YOU SAY THAT RN. It gives me the vibe of the last episode of an anime series. It’s got an emotional feel especially with the slower paced guitars playing at the very start. Sometimes I feel like it should really be the last song on the album.

    I think these are just the surface. People should really dive into the genres of traditional music around the world. Mande, Tishoumaren, Throat Singing, Nueva canción latinoamericana, Garifuna, Wassoulou, Andean Folk, Gamelan, Pinpeat, Qawwali, Chinese, Hindustani, Korean or Japanese Classical Music or even the most experimental of genres like Sound Collage, Musique Concrète, Electroacoustic, Field Recordings or Free Improvisation. To me, that means to truly broaden and expand the musical horizons

    What do you think about South Korean indie music? Most notable acts right now are Hyukoh and So Se Neon I think. I was listening to some of it and I was thinking that it all had a similar sound, some jazz influences but a little “weird,” and my girlfriend said it sounds kind of like math rock to her. I really couldn’t tell for sure. It’s just interesting to me at least outside of Korea itself, you can seemingly only find pop or indie from there, and the indie music I’ve heard is kind of a more specific category of its own.
