      Goddamn, what an amazing resource. If only Spotify could make something like this instead of trying to push whatever’s popular at the time.

    Desert blues! In the 90s, a lot of Tuareg musicians living in the western part of the Sahara, especially some that met while serving in the Libyan army or fighting in the 1990 rebellion in Mali, started combining Western blues and rock music with their own folk music. This has turned into a full-fledged genre of its own which I think anyone keen on guitar-based music has a good chance of enjoying. Here’s Tamikrest playing a set https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maXW66vz26g

    Math rock! The different time signatures are really fun, and it has a midwest emo feel

    Frenchcore. Especially Dr. Peacock. At least that’s something I found very few people enjoy to listen to. It’s certainly some distance away from the usual pop and rock on the radio.

    these are kind of micro-genres since there’s only a few bands playing in these styles:

    • brass house - saxophone-based dance rock. Moon Hooch, Too Many Zooz, and their combined side-project Thundersmack.
    • low rock - sax and bass guitar jazz rock style originated by the band Morphine, and continued by Monique Ortiz and the band Bourbon Princess

      I’m sorry to say this, but… shut the front door, there’s a genre of music like Morphine and I wasn’t informed until now?! Thank you for this knowledge, I’ll be checking both bands out tomorrow! :)

        Well calling it a whole genre is a bit of a stretch. Mark Sandman of Morphine coined the term “low rock” for their type of music and there’s a couple bands heavily influenced by them that also use that label. Monique Ortiz makes music that continues the low rock vibe, and then she’s collaborated with Morphine’s drummer on Bourbon Princess, and put out an album with Morphine’s saxophonist as “A.K.A.C.O.D.” And there’s also the band “Twinemen” with former Morphine members.

      I went to a lot of noise shows in my twenties. Some of the dudes took themselves way to seriously and played up the “I’m the disturbed artists bitcrushing damaged children’s gospel records” image but a lot of them were just nerdy guys who talked Star Wars or programming between their sets. Good times.

      I do love a bit of post rock. We Lost the Sea are probably my favourite, but a heads up for anyone going into this that it’s about 20 minutes long and you actually need the 20 minutes to get a sense of it

    I’ve been trying to introduce people to Jazzcore for the last few years. Check out Last Exits self titled album or anything of John Zorn’s Painkiller and some of Naked City’s work.

    Edit: Realized I didn’t say anything about the genre. It’s a fusion genre incorporating hardcore punk, metal and free/improvisation jazz. Slightly different from Jazz Punk which always seems closer to mathrock than jazz to me.

    Not sure if it qualifies as lesser known, but Australian hip hop is pretty fantastic. Stuff like Hilltop Hoods, Bliss & Eso, Draupht, Illy, etc. You’ve probably heard a song or two without realizing it.
