#182I’ve been producing electronic music since the early 2000s, and I’m still not sure what genre it is. It’s definitely not dance or EDM, but it’s not downtempo or ambient, either. https://presteign.com
Reminds me of demoscene music. If that is a genre, I'd say it fits it.
I’m actually kind of amazed that you’ve traced that lineage, as some of the earliest influences on my musical taste were the tracker-based soundtracks of Amiga games, coming out of the same milieu as the scene.
I never could get into trackers, but there must be elements of classic modfile music that still come through in my music all these years later.

#183My own stuff isn't something I'd inflict on people, but my son has been performing with band called LAIIKA. They've put out 2 singles so far, pop that draws on that stripped-down 80s feel; I'm pretty excited about the material they haven't released yet too.

Seconding those demoscene vibes. I'm into it. Not really sure what you call it either. Not ironic enough to be vaporwave, not 80s enough to be synthwave... well, whatever it is, it probably ends in wave. Is demowave a thing?
Regardless, this is going into my Spotify rotation!

#185I drum in a death metal band called Glorious Depravity. Funny enough, all of our members are software developers, though that isn’t the theme of the band or anything. https://gloriousdepravity.bandcamp.com
I’m also the vocalist and guitarist for a black metal band called Woe. I started it as a solo project over a decade ago and things sort of got out of hand. https://woeunholy.bandcamp.com
Both are also on Spotify, iTunes, or whatever streaming service you use.

That's stellar, really great work.
I think I understand what you mean about music being a way back from despair too; after I dropped out of medical school when my best friend died, I was asked to try and retrieve her music and photos which meant figuring out how to fix a fried external hard drive of hers, and a broken ipod too. The music I recovered was one of the few things that helped me get through a pretty dark time.
