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

Music [IIL] If The Stars Were Mine by Melody Gardot [WEWIL]?
This is a rare song in its quality, both lyrically and musically. It is very intelligent, has nice small variations to its structure. This combination of calm, cheerful and optimistic acoustic guitar with such lovely words is very hard to find.

Music [IIL] The melodic songs from bands like Loathe and Deftones
I’m looking for bands that have the same sound as the lighter, melodic stuff from Loathe and Deftones. I don’t like traditional heavy metal because of the harsh vocals, but I love the instrumentation in contrast to clean lyrics.
For examples:
- Fangs, Fortress Down, Harder To Pretend, and Screaming by Loathe
- Gauze, Change, Entombed, and Diamond Eyes by Deftones
- Ritual by The Warning
- Roots Remain by Mastodon
- And The Snakes Start to Sing, and Doomed by Bring Me The Horizon
I can give more clarification in the comments if necessary

Music [iil] songs that make you feel like an untouchable killing machine in a state of flow?
i've been listening to "You Can't Run From Me" by Rico Nasty (from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2) after watching the anime, and i'm looking for more songs that give me that very specific feeling
you know that feeling when a song makes you imagine yourself fighting an entire army, dodging every bullet, hitting every target without missing, and moving with such fluidity and precision that the whole fight becomes a perfectly choreographed dance of death?
i'm not necessarily looking for the heaviest or most aggressive music. what really gets me about this song is the female vocals during the pre-choruses and choruses: the smooth, almost effortless flow of the melody, the elongated vowels, the slightly nonchalant yet frenzied delivery, and the way the voice glides over the instrumental rather than constantly screaming over it
it creates this weird combination of hypnotic smoothness and unstoppable, almost murderous energy. something that makes you feel like you're in a trance, completely locked in, moving flawlessly and untouchably
think of the feeling of soloing an entire maxtac squad in cyberpunk, but with the elegance of a perfectly executed dance.
other genres are welcome too, as long as they capture that feeling!
any recommendations?

Film [IIL] movies that are just like, weirdly specific and cozy despite having dark themes, like Knives Out or The Grand Budapest Hotel, [WEWIL?]
i love when a movie looks beautiful and feels almost comforting to watch even though the plot is lowkey messed up. bonus points if there's good humor mixed in so it doesn't feel heavy the whole time.

Especially looking for other songs or music that features the ethereal/microtonal choirs featured in the back drop of the main vocals (ex. at 2:56 of the track).

Books [IIL] Any form of fiction that starts off as one genre and slowly transition towards war and politics turning it into a political war drama. Like s3 and s4 of AoT for example.
I don't care what type of media it is. Book, film, show, I don't care.

Music [IIL] Funk music, especially that from the 70s [WEWIL]?
Theres just something about the raw funk of some of these groups I can't eat up enough of. I'm a musician, so especially something with extended musicianship skills.
I am a HUGE fan of the following:
James Brown
Average white band
Herbie Hancock
Earth wind and Fire
Bill Withers
Barry White
Phish (dont lambast me, I'm not huge into the jamband scene, but those guys can really get down)
Just getting into Tower of Power now
And more not listed
I so much appreciate your help!!! Music doesn't have to be from the 70s, I just tend to really like that decade of music. I love disco too, but a lot of 80s stuff with synth isn't my style

Film [IIL] movies where the protagonist is kind of awful but you root for them anyway, like Fleabag or Saltburn, [WEWIL?]
i'm looking for that specific vibe where the main character is selfish or morally grey but so charismatic or funny that you can't help but be invested in what happens to them. bonus points if there's dark humor involved.

Games IIL Whimsical Franchises with a serious/dark undertone.
Got a bit of a case of Nostalgia and ended up reading some fanfiction That introduced me to the Touhou project. Afterwards I did a bit of a deep dive into that and now I'm wondering if there are any often overlooked franchises with those Kooky yet kinda terrifying if you look under the surface vibes.
(Used the Game Flair because my inspiration for this was a Game series but all franchises are welcome)

Music [IIL] Nymphetamine Fix - Craddle of Filth
Hi ! I’m looking for songs that includes things I really love in Nymphetamine Fix by Craddle of filth.
I love the combination of screams and growl with the angel like voice of the female singer. And I also like this sort of cathedral vibe kinda like you can find in Batushka. I’m sorry in advance for my description of what I like about this song, english isn’t my first language so it’s kinda hard to explain for me lol.
