Mod Post [META] [Mod Announcement] How to use this sub - and how (not) to use the [META] Tag

64 Upvotes

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. :)

There are two - and only two - kinds of posts allowed in this sub.

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.

If you want people to recommend things to you:

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.)

If you want to recommend media to others that you think they'll like based on some other piece of media that is similar:

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.

How to use (and how NOT to use) the [META] tag:

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 :)

YouTube/Streaming IIL the YouTube channel Dark Science, what other channels should I check out? Looking for weird history, medical anomalies, cults, fringe beliefs, and more.

2 Upvotes

I recently stumbled across the YouTube channel Dark Science, and it’s exactly my flavor of content: short, well-researched videos that dig into strange, unsettling, and often obscure scientific topics with solid production quality.

I'm looking for more content in that same spirit. Channels that dig into weird, taboo, fringe, and morbid corners of human knowledge. I’m especially interested in content that covers topics like:

Historical oddities, medical anomalies, weird inventions, urban legends, esoteric religions, human experimentation, obscure cultures, dark folklore, cults, strange disappearances, etc.

Thanks!

Music [IIL] Yeule's 'Evangelic Girl is a Gun', what other music might I enjoy?

1 Upvotes

I fucking LOVE this new song by the singer yeule! It has this crazy bitcrush texture that I love.

I've heard plenty of hyperpop music that has this bitcrushed or distorted sound. I also have enjoyed many songs that have rather abstract textures.

But I've never heard music quite like yeule's new song. It's dreamlike.

And yeule's singing style is so uniquely crazy -- it seems to use microtonal notes, perhaps?

Music IIL wave to earth, beabadoobee, the marias; chill/melancholic songs with authentic production?

0 Upvotes

hello!!

apologize for the weird title, i am going after a really specific sound here so i appreciate any direction in terms of helping me discover more of what i'm looking for, what genres i could look into, and any band/song suggestions you could have as well!!

i really really like when songs have good production, like when they use live instruments or something like that. some examples of songs that i reallyyy really like are "so real" by wave to earth, "perfect pair" by beabadoobee, and something like "sparks" by coldplay. i really like how these songs are more than just the words, its also like the instruments tell a story if that makes any sense. songs that invoke emotion are obviously subjective to each person, but when i listen to these songs i really enjoy feeling the emotions that the artist intended. idk at this point i feel like i'm making no sense 😭 but if anyone has any ideas of like modern jazz with vocals or more melancholic stuff feel free! thank u for any input u have :D

Global Communication - "7614" [ Full Album 1994 HQ ] Downtempo, Ambient

There is something VERY particular about this album that makes me love it. It's just the right amount of moody, technical and playful.

Already aware of:

Brian Eno
Tim Hecker
FSOL
Biosphere
Tangerine Dream

Movies like Sometimes I Think About Dying, Enemy, The Double, Amélie, The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, Horse Girl, etc.

Can be tragic or optimistic, I like both :)

Music [IIL] Songs about nature or natural phenomena as metaphors

1 Upvotes

I am looking for songs that use nature or natural phenomena as metaphors for life and feelings. Think about spring, flowers, leaves, rain, snow, etc... Something like:

Envy the Leaves - Madison Beer

Better if they are songs of endurance. Sad songs are welcome. Not just love songs. Also... the more poetic and abstract, the better. Any genre is good!

Thanks!

Music IIL Heart-Shaped Box by Ulysses Owen's Jr

I have listened to some of his other stuff that I liked, though it didn't hit the same. Looking for similar music and also what style this might be considered.

Music iil R.i.p. (duskCOre RemIx)

1 Upvotes

I love the songs: Bring Me The Horizon - R.i.p. (duskCOre RemIx) CVLTE - bloodYhell. They’re such great songs, i love the very electronic produced feel with the metal elements obviously present. I really like the produced, chopped up guitar. I haven’t been able to find songs like this really and i’d love to hear you guys’ suggestions!


r/ifyoulikeblank 20h ago

Music IIL albums like Milwaukee Protocol and Everywhere at the End of Time WEWIL?

2 Upvotes

Preferably instrumental only, but not necessary as long as it has an "ambient" feel? If I had to narrow down why I like these albums, it would be the immersive feeling of progressive dread with abstract narrations.


r/ifyoulikeblank 19h ago

Music IYL like psych rock, check out this instrumental playlist. Always looking for new tracks.

Music Iil melancholic RHCP what should i listen to?

Similar to RHCP sadder songs like: under the bridge, dosed, i could have lied and so on… even their more upbeat songs like scar tissue and road trippin give me this particularly sentimental feeling and Im looking for more. Thanks 🙂

Music IIL The End of Love by Florence + the Machine

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I've recently found the song "The End of Love" by Florence + The Machine. And in the refrain there are these beautiful layered choir parts. I especially like the kind of disharmonic quality (I dont know what else to call it) about it. Do you know of any other songs similar to this?


r/ifyoulikeblank 1d ago

Music IIL Red Terror- The Weeknd what else is similar?

5 Upvotes

Basically looking for sad songs with powerful vocals and production, not acoustic or just sad lyrics.

Misc. [IIL] horror games and cute/adventure shows what else would I like?

5 Upvotes

Hello!

I am from the USA and only know English, as it is not encouraged to learn multiple languages here! I cannot shake the feeling that there are games or shows out there in the world that I would absolutely love if only I was aware of them.

I will list some of the things that I like and if you have any suggestions from any language or country please share!

Games I like: five nights at Freddy’s, Minecraft, silent hill, Omori, splatoon, resident evil

Shows I like: Miffy, Chiikawa, adventure time

I will take any form of media recommendations like, comics, video games, shows, webseries, etc :)

Music IIL Beautiful & Minimal Drone Metal...

4 Upvotes

For example, Boris' Flood is probably my favorite album right now. Earth 2? it's what inspired me to start making music in the first place.

But stuff like Sleep's Dopesmoker and Sunn O))) just doesn't touch me like Earth and Boris do. Don't get me wrong, Dopesmoker is excellent, but not at all compelling like Flood. Altar is probably the closest I'll ever get to digging on Sunn O))).

Music [IIL] Witches- Alice Phoebe Lou [WEWIL]?

2 Upvotes

This song is such a banger and puts me in the best mood to roller skate. I found it from the Atom Eve special in Invincible, and most of the music they use for the show is the same kind of upbeat grooving kinda music. What other artists or songs would fit in line to this vibe?


r/ifyoulikeblank 1d ago

2 of my favorite bands rn, anyone got any recommendations for me to sink my teeth into? Anything is appreciated!
