As the title says. I've been listening to some synth, some alternative rock, some electronica. But I find a lot of the music I usually listen to doesn't sound that great in my car. And I also find I'm more open to different music genres while driving.

I'm curious to know what you're into, if you want to share artists then the more the better.

Euro beat. GAS GAS GAS, I GOTTA STEP ON THE GAS TONIGHT

[-] ApatheticCactus@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

I just have all my music on a drive on my stereo on shuffle. I just keep going until something sounds good and then go with that vibe.

I had an idea where if a cop tries to pull you over, you pick a number between 1 and 5 and if you get a good chase music song within those skips you have to attempt a getaway. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS, but it's a funny idea. I could see it in a movie or game or show, though.

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 12 minutes ago

I like your idea

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 1 points 5 hours ago

Depends on the kind of driving I'm doing.

But usually whatever I'm feeling at the time.

[-] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 5 points 12 hours ago

Hard driving 70's and 80's guitar rock. Radar Love. Smoke on the Water. Sweet Home Alabama. Don't Fear the Reaper. Life in the Fast Lane. Thunderstruck.

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 10 minutes ago

I'll be checking out some of those. I need an oldies mixed playlist for driving

[-] Kevver@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

Psytrance. It makes the car go faster.

[-] CrayonDevourer@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Anything without lyrics. I can't stand the sound of people's voices. So this is usually some sort of EDM, Dubstep, Phonk, Experimental, NCS (No Copyright Sounds), etc

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Unsolicited suggestion from my driving playlist: Icy Lust - Downtown Maglev

I always enjoyed driving to that one with good audio. The way it builds up slowly is great for being on the road.

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Radio : NPR. ( Love me some local news, & marketplace is the bomb.com) Spotify : almost anything. Recently it's been Sleep Token, Coheed & Cambria, Kamasi Washington, synthwave boy, Sithu Aye, oddisee, the Offline

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 9 minutes ago

I don't think I know any of those, I'll check it out

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 3 points 15 hours ago

I listen to the radio defaulting to npr and if nothing interesting is on I jump through the major song stations and if all else fails I have some tull. Once in awhile if I want to know traffic or weather I will switch to the news station.

[-] exist@sh.itjust.works 4 points 17 hours ago

I’ve been listening to Ghost’s new album Skeleta.

[-] Moonweedbaddegrasse@lemm.ee 5 points 17 hours ago

The loudest fastest music on my playlist

[-] Lawnman23@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Speed metal it is…

[-] BeNotAfraid@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Jazz, especially in the evening. Some of Bill Evans more sparse stuff, Dave Bruebeck quartet. I like the back and forth of ensemble playing too, musical conversations. Like you know what they're saying? It's a feeling, not a forgone conclusion. You dig?

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 6 minutes ago

Ohh jazz I should expand my jazz listening. I'll look into those

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Night driving:

  • Dark synthwave / retrowave / outrun / shredwave (genres)

Desert driving:

  • Animals by Pink Floyd (album)
  • The Budos Band (band)
[-] Elextra@literature.cafe 4 points 17 hours ago

Walk the Moon.

Just love all their music. Puts me in a good mood

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

EDM, game music from my favorite games soundtracks, or my favorite thrash or progressive metal.

Recently I've also been listening to a lot of traditional folk music from the middle east.

Anything sounds great with a good enough car speaker system I guess.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

The bulk of my driving is short trips with many stops, so I generally don't even bother putting on any music. For longer (routine) drives, I like to throw on audiobooks.

Haven't been on a road trip (longer, non-routine, pleasure drive) in forever, but those usually get their own playlist (formerly series of CDs) that depend on the nature of the trip/destination.

[-] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Usually local town radio (short commute).

Longer drives I usually take some post rock like God is an astronaut, Sigur Ros, Mogwai, Hammock, etc. Second choice would be something prog/psychedelic/stoner rock like, bands like King Buffalo, 1000mods, Naxatras, OM, Kyuss, etc.

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 8 minutes ago

Nice, I'm familiar with post rock but not so much with your second line on artists. I'll look into

[-] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 2 points 17 hours ago

Depends on my mood. I have a few playlists for that. Or, I use Spotify's blend feature if I want to see what my friends are listening to.

[-] Interstellar_1 2 points 17 hours ago

Mostly what I usually listen to, but recently I've been enjoying listening to these chill dance mixes. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKz7MQ6y9w-K456AwrcUa_geIewSGOqF-

[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 17 hours ago

If it's a road trip and after 2am, I put on Tom Waits' 'Nighthawks at the Diner', otherwise it's random, preferably Post-punk or Adult Alternative.

[-] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Real answer: podcasts. Doughboys, Doughboys Double, Get Played, Get Played Season Pass (can you tell I like Nick Weiger?), Film Reroll, and Wait, Wait, Don't Tell me

Helpful answer: I like singing along to stuff so that ends up being a lot of 80s/90s pop and alt-rock stuff. CAKE, They Might be Giants, Garbage, Jamiroquai, Vengaboys, a bunch of one-hit wonders. Lately I've been on a bit of a trance kick so The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, and Daft Punk are in there too

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 2 minutes ago

I love all those in your trance kick list, good choices. I definitely need to grow my 80s 90s mixed list

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 18 hours ago

I usually listen to all the stuff I listen to normally, with the single exception of speedcore/Splittercore/Extratone, since it sounds kinda ass in a car.

So what I'm listening to while driving is: Hardtekk, German, German Rap Hardtechno, (German political) Rap, Metal or Terrorcore

[-] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

I upgraded the audio in my car until I could listen to the music I like.

I use YouTube music and enjoy the New Releases playlist. Helps find new artists.

[-] plaguesandbacon@lemmy.ca 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Road trips - Audio books and podcasts

Around town - Metal, old school country, some DnB if I'm in the mood, '90's/2000's alt and hip hop

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 4 minutes ago

DnB yes that sounds like something I should add to my list

[-] aburrito@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

Starjunk 95, thank me later

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 1 points 18 hours ago

I have a couple of playlists, depending on the mood:

To pump myself up: Prog rock/metal

Relaxing drive: r&b, acid jazz, chill/lounge

If I'm on the way to/from a concert, I'm usually listening to the artist.
