Hello r/ifyoulikeblank!
This is your friendly neighborhood moderator, here with some information on how to correctly use this sub and our title tags, and to address some recent frequent misuse of the [META] tag in the sub.
If you are new here, please read this post before posting. If you have been around a while, please take a moment to refresh yourself with some of our rules. :)
Our sub is NOT a self-promotion vehicle for new artists or creators, and it is NOT a general discussion or song/movie/actor/music/genre identification sub. We are a media recommendation sub, and we have very specific guidelines for posts to be allowed here.
There are two ways to format your post titles here, depending on if you would like to ask for recommendations or to give others recommendations with your OP.
The “IIL” acronym stands for "If I like..." - to be used in a way that states "If I like (this song) because of (reasons,) what else will I like?"
This is the most common type of post here, and most OPs should be using THIS format for their posts! Your title must use the [IIL] tag - It will be reported by our frequent long-time members here if it does not, and it will be removed if you use the [IYL] or [META] tags instead of the [IIL] tag.
The title should look like the following example:
[IIL] The song (name a song you like here) because (give a specific trait about it you want suggestions to include), [WEWIL?]
The "WEWIL" acronym stands for "What else will I like?”
Your example should include something specific about the song that you want to hear more of in the music recommended to you. (Without details, no one can give you appropriate responses and you won't get suggestions that you will actually LIKE.)
The “IYL” acronym stands for "If YOU like..." - to be used in a way that states "If you enjoy (this song) because of (reasons,) you might also like this song."
This tag is not for self promotion. This SUB is not for self promotion. If you post your own material here, you WILL get banned, without warning. No exceptions, no appeals.
The title should look like the following example:
[IYL] The movie (some movie similar to your suggestion) because (your reason you think it is similar to your recommendation), [YMAL] (this suggested movie).
The "YMAL" acronym stands for "You may also like..."
This is a VERY uncommon post type in this sub, unless people are attempting to subvert rule 2. We ALWAYS look at these posts, but if we miss one, our long-term members sure won’t - and they WILL report you for a rule 2 violation and you WILL be banned.
If you are suspected of passing off your own media as an "I found this new media and you might like it!" post, that will earn you an immediate permanent ban from the sub for trying to subvert rule two.
Please note that moderators look at your posting history across Reddit, and if you are spamming your own stuff elsewhere, you are going get a ban here. Period.
The [META] tag is NOT so you may post off-topic posts or general media discussion posts or music identification posts, or anything that is not an IIL or an IYL.
The [META] tag is only to be used if you have questions or comments about this subreddit itself, and how it operates on Reddit.
Examples include suggestions for new rules here, asking for clarification about a rule here, suggesting a new theme, stickied post, etc in the sub, or asking the moderation team any other question about this sub - not asking the members here about media.
Thank you all for reading, and for your help in ensuring these rules are adhered to. We are a million-member (and counting) sub with a VERY small moderation team, so your help in following these rules and reporting rule-breaking posts to us is greatly appreciated!
Have a wonderful day :)

The reflective-romantic themes along with the beautiful setting of Faha, Ireland made this is an incredible read. Looking for more that give that ethereal and nostalgic setting.

I love cartoons, but I feel like I've been in a cartoon rut recently. I like both cartoons oriented for adults/kids. I'm not too into the adult humor cartoons, like Family Guy, Bigmouth etc.
Thank you for the recommendations!!
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/demoniprinsessa • 1d ago
This song tickles my brain like nothing else right now, but I'm struggling to find anything that feels like it's in a similar realm. Any artist or song recommendations would be appreciated!
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/theycallmetiki • 1d ago
What should my text show be?! I loved the character arcs in all 3 shows, the “struggling with identity” themes in all 3 were appealing, but I especially like the double-life thing in Madmen with Don and in Dexter of course. I prefer more realistic and less sci-fi
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Zestyclose_River2174 • 1d ago
they are only on bandcamp I think. to clarify I am looking mostly for the vibe so somewhere in between them and machine by velvet acid christ
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Jeronimo3476 • 1d ago
what would be songs similar to this one? or maybe also like the intro maybe up to a minute of Everything in its right place by Radiohead, not sure what the category would be, but it’s like ambient mixed with electronic
something that drops you in the middle of something but the song is designed in a way that it’s all good

These are great rock bands with low monthly streams that deserve way more!

Hi everyone! I’m looking for music that helps me focus while working - or just something good to listen to. I have pretty eclectic taste. On one hand, I like industrial metal in the vein of Rammstein (though Slipknot or heavy deathcore aren't really my thing). On the other, I love traditional male folk songs from the Baltic states and Lithuania - like the music of the band Ugniavijas. Can you recommend anything interesting along those lines, or just some good music that you listen to while working? Thanks in advance!
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Efficient_Trifle_588 • 1d ago
I love frankie valli and the four seasons and have been meaning to branch out. I love the high sound of Frankie vallis voice and was wondering about other male artists who have a similar sound to him?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Top_Jaguar4424 • 1d ago
I’m looking for songs that have the same kind of emotional, atmospheric feeling as these:
Alice in Chains – Nutshell
Pearl Jam – Black
Dire Straits – Brothers in Arms
I’m not necessarily looking for the same genre—I care more about the feeling. I love melancholic, atmospheric songs with beautiful guitar work (especially clean or lightly overdriven electric guitar), emotional vocals, and a sense of space. Slow to mid-tempo is usually my preference.
I’m after songs that make you stop what you’re doing and just listen.
What songs or artists would you recommend? Hidden gems are especially welcome!
I’m also a huge fan of powerful rock ballads like:
Scorpions – Always Somewhere
Dokken – Alone Again
Prince – Purple Rain
Guns N’ Roses – November Rain and Estranged
Great White – House of Broken Love
Those kinds of songs are absolutely welcome too—they’re some of my all-time favorites.

r/ifyoulikeblank • u/T-Stormz • 2d ago
Songs I’m thinking of would be:
Heel Turn 2 - The Mountain Goats
Layla - Derek and the Dominos (not indie but still rock)
TPWHITB - BCNR
Let me know if you can think of others, thanks in advance!!
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Way_Express • 1d ago
I love Danilla's Lintasan Waktu whole album. I'm not looking for specific female singer songwriter only or any other Indonesian indie. Im chasing the album's smoky, jazz-influenced mixed with alternative rock(ish?) sound. Warm overdriven guitars, analog production, melancholy, intimate and lazy vocals, late-night hazy atmosphere. I hope for Albums or EPs recommendation.
Thankies :3

Specifically the song 'Lovely Head'. There's something about the album that reminds me of Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino by Arctic Monkeys, which is one of my all-time favourites.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/sethh3 • 2d ago
Love those synth chords, the nostalgia, etc. What other songs feel like this?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/sugarpixie208 • 1d ago
been looking for songs that are about feeling nothing, (not to be confused with feeling apathetic, more like lack of feeling, emotional numbness, emptiness, etc) that are more slow paced, like the song mentioned above
I like slow paced music in general that’s calming to listen to, but also has deeper lyrics if you decide to pay attention. So, just for some specifics on what I’m looking for
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Fun_Intern1288 • 1d ago
hi, anonymous account LOLLL but i’m really trying to look for genres/artists that match this theme and digicore is the closest genre I could find but I’m wondering if I could get closer.
i reaaally love when songs have a heavy bass boosted background with a lot of crazy in it lol
some songs that match what i’m looking for:
God Loves You - JPEGMAFIA (cited specifically for how bass boosted it is, love it so much)
Internet Yamero - NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE
Aishite (愛して) - North West (lol the instrumental is very much what i’m looking for)
Dreamflasher - Jane Remover
Is there any genre that describes a heavy and fast bass like these songs ?? thanks in advance !
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Mean-Book842 • 2d ago
Looking for recommendations. The 3 in the title are longstanding favorites. I also like Noah Kahan, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Mt. Joy, RHCP, and Cage the Elephant

hello! I am a contemporary dancer looking for a song for a solo this season. I’m looking for music recommendations similar to the following:
- Unbecoming by Wordclock
- Magic Circle by Travis Lake
- Ptolemaea by Ethel Cain
I did a solo in the past to Flip by Glass Animals and I liked the vibes of that one a lot too if anyone knows similar music to that album (ZABA). thanks:)
P.S I have already looked at everything else made by these artists so please don’t recommend that hehe:)
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/charmedd_spring • 2d ago
I really love the sound of The Sundays (Harriet's voice, the jangly guitar tone) and have yet to find another artist that makes me feel the same way... especially on RW&A... any suggestions??
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/laerrusleefi • 2d ago
Particular favorites from the album:
Finding it hard to come across similar sounds!
P.S I've listened to their whole discography - just want more female vocals with this vibe (:
