EBM, Synth-Pop, Industrial playlist, inspired by laut.fm/klangwelt.

Klangwelt was a station I happened to find back when you could use WMP to stream radio stations, and I've been hooked on it ever since. It's a German station, so it used to play german-spoken ads all the time, but lately they opted for localized ads which ruins the quirky fun of it. I can't seem to find an app to stream the station, so I made this playlist as a substitute, with some of the hits I've heard on it, plus other stuff I've added to match.

0 respect for that time Taylor Swift said Red didn’t win a Grammy because it wasn’t “sonically cohesive.” I hate “sonically cohesive.” “Sonically cohesive” can choke.

#me self-producing music: #‘This one has simple acoustic instrumentals…’ #’but THIS one is my 90’s grunge-pop-rock girl song’ #‘And THIS one has church bells and organs and choirs’ #’and just listen to the SYNTHS on this one!!’ #’sonically cohesive?’ I don’t know her

ppl will never ever put as much of their pussy into music as they were in the 90's/early 00's. we are evolving backwards

#olly talks #bro pop nowadays is so. bland #where's the flavour #90's/early 00's pop tho.... #they were onto something #hell yeah baby!! those synths.. #some early 10's pop also gets a pass actually. only some tho

Corona - "The Rhythm of the Night" (Live @ Radio Record Dance Festival, Saint Petersburg) 2013 Eurodance / Eurohouse / House / Italo House / Synthpop / Europop

Corona's unbelievably gorgeous frontwoman Olga de Souza was absolutely reveling in this moment here as she was afforded the opportunity to perform her group's beloved early 90s Eurodance classic in front of thousands of people, 20-plus years after it had first been released. So good.

i know you’ve talked about bill’s music tastes before, but do you have any head cannons for other characters’ music tastes?

i.e. do you think mabel would listen to vocaloid?

Mabel: here's what we know about her tastes.

She loves Dream Boy High; Dream Boy High's VCR tape design has nods to Jem & the Holograms, which has a million songs per episodes; Mabel has Xyler & Craz play synth music to defeat Bill; Mabeland plays 80's music. She's into extremely 80's-sounding synth-heavy pop. The music she plays in dream realms is the music closest to her heart. This is the core of her musical tastes.

There's something subtly, inexplicably different about music made for cartoons vs contemporary popular music, even when they're trying to portray the same genres. I can't describe what that quality is, but it's there. Anyway, if the core of Mabel's musical tastes is rooted in or near Dream Boy High, then she probably listens to other 80s cartoon soundtracks.

She's into 2010s acts that are throwbacks to late-1990s boy bands. She'd probably also like actual 90s boy bands.

She's fluent in modern top 40 music—which is no doubt where she she picked up Sev'ral Timez. I see her as the kind of kid who just keeps the radio on all the time. (And I do mean the radio—she didn't get a phone til the end of last summer, we see her with CDs, she probably had a radio long before she tried streaming.)

She's also fluent in classic rock ballads, but it's not her preference. She's a "grew up listening to the radio stations her parents picked on a car ride" kid. I suspect her dad plays 70s/80s pop in the car (cementing her primary musical tastes) because there's another Pines into synth pop so I've decided it's genetic, and her mom plays the classic rock. Mabel knows Don't Start Unbelieving from Mabel & Mom karaoke nights.

Dipper: if Mabel grew up listening to her parents' picks on the car radio, so did he. This is where he picked up his love for BABBA. From this we can deduce that, if their dad is the 70s/80s pop music parent, their dad probably drives them around more than their mom. I think you could safely give him other disco bands as well.

He plays the sousaphone but every band kid I've ever known treats band more like a musical sport than like a musical genre—the super passionate ones might practice extra and might watch other bands' performances, but they didn't just sit around listening to marching band music for fun. However, he also practices during the summer, even though he's in another state and obviously not participating in any summer band activities, which suggests an unusual passion for marching band. I still don't think he just listens to marching band music for fun but he probably keeps hearing songs and going "oh wow I've never heard the original before, only the band version."

He picked up a couple of indie folk bands to try to impress Wendy but he's not super into them.

Ford: He was on the absolute cutting edge of new wave & synth pop in the 80s. He was into the obscure stuff. Somewhere in the shack is a pile of cassettes by new wave acts the rest of the world has completely forgotten. He and Mabel trade music recommendations: he gives her the obscure as hell stuff and she tells him about all the cool new* (*post-1982) bands he never got to see. Mabel prefers peppier songs and he prefers moodier songs but there's a HUGE overlap between their tastes.

In a better, portal-less world, Ford's taste in new wave would have had time to drift into dark wave and cold wave, and from there slid over sideways to discover goth rock. There's an unhatched trad goth somewhere in his soul. He should have been listening to Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, and The Cure. He should have gotten a black trench coat because he thought it would make him feel cool, not because he was an interdimensional criminal on the run. It's not too late for him to discover it now, but by now he should have made it miles beyond the major 80s goth rock acts, gone down half a dozen increasingly obscure genre alleys, and be burrowed deep into some weird sub-sub-sub-genre of EBM you and I have never heard of.

He has a love/hate relationship with All Star.

Stan: He liked hanging out at a 50s-themed diner in the 70s. He likes 50s music. I also think he picked up a fair amount of Spanish-language 50s rock-and-roll while abroad. Once like five years ago Soos overheard Stan playing a record and singing a song Abuelita plays and it cemented his ambition to reverse-adopt Stan as his dad.

Soos: Popular hip hop and anime/video game soundtracks. Every rap song he knows has been on the Billboard Hot 100 but on the other hand he has the demo version of the extended version of the ending theme of an anime from 2001 that was never fully released outside Japan and he's probably got a fifteen-minute story about why he knows this song even exists. He's puzzled through the shipping info of a Japanese CD website to get the official soundtrack of the most dogshit anime you could imagine. He's spent a week pouring through anime convention forums trying to track down a song he overheard someone use as their background music at a cosplay contest. Lots of 8-bit.

Wendy: You know the stomp clap hey genre? That. I have nothing further to add, you know what I'm talking about. Her heart yearns to escape to hipster city. She didn't even like Robbie's music when they were dating, she just thought it was cool he made it.

I'm not gonna go through every character I have headcanons for, you don't need all that on one post. Anyway, have a work in progress playlist. It's rigorously organized. "😀😀😀 Character Name 😀😀😀" is what each character would like listening to, "😀 Zodiac Symbol 😀" is songs about each character, "🪐🪐🪐 Flatland 🪐🪐🪐" is backstory stuff, "🌎 Earth 🌎" is either songs I need on this playlist for the vibes or songs that belong in one of the other categories but I haven't sorted them yet. Some of the sections are still empty. I think this is forgivable since the playlist is already 11 hours long.

I have listened to all my favorite music enough times that I need to freshen things up. I have always found it difficult to "discover" new music and would love to hear what's on the playlists of others. Anyone have recommendations?

Things I really like already:

classics from 80's and 90's like the Talking Heads, R.E.M. and Depeche Mode

modern synth stuff that mimics those with modern influences like The Midnight and Kavinsky

Powerhouse vocalists with folk and other influences like The Amazing Devil, Of Monsters and Men, and Florence + the Machine

Honestly, some of the really catchy pop stuff too- I love Børns, Monsta X, and Halsey

Things I must regretfully inform you that don't like:

The Mountain Goats

The Decemberists

sorry, there's something about their vocal styling that I find really grating. 😔 I'm generally not wildly into most of the very folksy indie stuff that usually gets recommended for fans of the bands I do like in this "genre."

If you have some personal favourites, feel free to throw them at me! I am open to trying all kinds of stuff and have some wild personal favorites that don't really fit with what I listed anyway!

And honestly??? Bonus points for bands with non-English vocals.
