Sometimes I look at my music library and am forced to confront the fact that at least half of it comes from the LJ FST comm circa 2005 (the other half is 'video game soundtracks I got from friends in college' and 'lots of industrial/EBM/new wave I torrented')

Which is I guess mostly okay except I don't want to become one of those adults who hates new music because I don't listen to it, so feel free to drop me some recs. I tend to prefer stuff with a strong melody line, but while my main library is a lot of industrial/new wave/90s-00s alt rock, I do have a little bit of everything.

....Okay I really just need to see the realization of that description, if absolutely nothing else.

One of the best exemplars of that, though a bit light on the horns: Black Box Warrior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTGze0Hfr5w (lyrics version because it's helpful; none of these are suitable for blasting into an unknown environment because of strong mental illness and momento-mori content, and this one says both "Nazi" and "suicide" very loud)

My personal favorite: Mr. Capgras Encounters a Second-Hand Vanity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJDv8arVAtg (nudity but no peen, genderfuckery and excessive use of makeup, screaming)

The entire Normal Album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQPfTorN8jA (these videos are often ok to read the comments "You know you’re listening to a will wood song when you can’t tell if it’s the sax hitting a curtain note or will screaming")

"Marsha, Thankk You for the Dialectics but I Need You to Leave" is basically Bruce Springsteen with a thesis about how modern mental health care sucks but it's better than the 50s equivalent.
