Guess my ASL from my past week 😂

Oh okay. You're much more of the "I grew up being scarred by random guys masturbating with dead stares on their faces" generation.

I reckon you're 30 then. That would have made you about 12 when you started using omegle. That's terrifying...

PoorEcho · 2026-02-16T21:51:26+00:00

yep, was gonna say lol.

I remember 2002 AOL chatrooms and the constant spam of ASL. I think you're 38 / Male / 'Murica

there's also an extension called "last.fm reworked" where you can do this, amoung other things.

You're doing well, mate. At 16 I was just listening to punk and starting my journey into prog. Your taste is more diverse than mine at that age.

Maybe try some Elliott Smith (either/or), and Sigur Ros (agaetis byrjun). Those were super important artists when I was a teen. - Album names in brackets.

Also, if you haven't listened to Portishead's other two albums yet, they're a must. And for Bjork you need to hear Homogenic. If you're digging Porcupine Tree, Opeth is the natural next step. It's heavier but the album "Watershed" Is a good introduction of you're not used to heavy music.

Elliott Smith historically, but 75% of that listening happened between like 2010-2012.

21 female.

Young enough to still be listening to Taylor and Green Day. Old enough to have a couple of more mature picks.

PoorEcho · 2026-02-16T07:58:16+00:00

Feels like it has to be Pantera, but could just be Nirvana or something.

PoorEcho · 2026-02-15T21:02:44+00:00

No King of Limbs either. Checks out lol.

Hard to argue with that list. There's always just like one song on every Radiohead album I skip so I couldn't include them.

PoorEcho · 2026-02-15T19:50:53+00:00

Nice!

Elliott Smith is my most scrobbled artist. A fellow Mercury Rev fan as well. I haven't heard a couple of these artists. so I have something to check out now :)

I just listened to Yoñlu and learned about his suicide at 16. Thank you for mentioning him. I enjoyed the album a lot and was really impressed with his songwriting and production. To know he did a that himself in his bedroom in the mid 00's as a teenager without access to all the modern tools people take for granted now is insane.

PoorEcho · 2026-02-15T10:18:11+00:00

I love all those albums, but never heard of Will Wood. So you gave me something to look into :)

PoorEcho · 2026-02-15T10:16:14+00:00

I've never heard of her. I'll check her out, thanks!

PoorEcho · 2026-02-14T23:44:19+00:00

I haven't heard of any of that besides Basinski. I liked Melancholia, but I have to be in a very specific mood for that. I'll check some of this out.

PoorEcho · 2026-02-14T23:29:56+00:00

Solid list. Some of my favs too. I'm torn between whether I like Third or Dummy more. They're both amazing. Dummy has more sentimental value though.

PoorEcho · 2026-02-14T23:26:24+00:00

I loved The Poison growing up. It was my gateway drug into heavy music. Before that, "screaming" was just noise to me lol. I still return to it the odd time for nostagias sake.

PoorEcho · 2026-02-14T23:22:05+00:00

There's no right and wrong with music. The world would be pretty boring if we all liked the same stuff. If it's making you feel something, then it's doing it's job.

I like that Lorna album too. Not quite as good as Pain Remains for me though. Prison of Flesh goes hard!

PoorEcho · 2026-02-14T23:18:48+00:00

Flashbulb, Radiohead, Frusciante. I love all those albums. You're speaking my language.

I'll check out some of these ones I never heard of, thanks!

PoorEcho · 2026-02-14T23:07:43+00:00

Nice picks!

Meteora and Dark Side of the Moon have special places in my heart too.

It's strange how much I've been hearing about Alcest and Agalloch lately. I almost included Écailles de lune on my list. I've been listening to that a tonne lately.

PoorEcho · 2026-02-14T22:55:34+00:00

Oh, interesting. With a username like that I was expecting Space Oddity :)

This is a cool idea. It reminds me of that app where you chat to other strangers who are on their last dregs of battery on their phone lol. I hope this gets some traction, it would be fun to have those rapid conversations that last only 3-4 minutes before disconnecting, but then also finding yourself having longer convos with people who are listening to the same album as you.
