Wishing a very speedy recovery to XSY and hugs to his fans. I am so pissed off at this whole business that can't even provide consistent health and safety for actors.

I've been collecting a playlist of folk or traditional music influenced rock, metal or hip hop (currently mostly from Asia, but if you've got other recs, lemme know):
00. Xiao Shunyao - Mountain (live)
Genre: rap-rock + Chinese opera/folk singing
This is my favorite song of Xiao Shunyao's current ep/single (? not sure) as performed at his concert in 2022. There's been an ongoing sub-trend of using Chinese opera in theme songs and various traditional inspired pop in China, but this is one of the rare ones where the lead singer is doing the opera, the rap and the rock parts. My absolute favorite part is the second verse section that starts operatic, then flips to folk rock, and then back to opera until you can't really tell which is which.
Imo Xiao Shunyao's voice was seriously wasted during his 1st gen boyband days. He's truly meant to sing rock and whatever opera-hybrid this is - he's able to bend his voice in far more interesting ways than if he's stuck with just one genre, and the theatrical quality/ his vocal tone during the folk and opera portions really glues everything together. He's got fantastic vocal control and expression and he doesn't have any vocal inhibitions at all. I reeeeeaaaally want more songs in this style.
Here is a link to a bilibili playlist with his official tracks sung live at his concert from 2022 - none of the cover songs, though. You'll have to get that through fancams.

肖顺尧 Xiao Shunyao as Sima Shi 司馬師 in The Advisor's Alliance (大軍師司馬懿之軍師聯盟 / 虎嘯龍吟)
This was the first role I saw him in way back in 2017, and I'd forgotten about him entirely until Mysterious Lotus Casebook, and I looked him and a lightbulb went off in my brain. "Oh, he was the hot son," I thought. (Sorry, TJC fans.)
I have always been of the thought that Yaoyao needs to grow out his beard, he does look quite good with a goatee.
