    Alright, now that I'm feeling more at home here, i'm looking for new music. My generation is all generic crunk rap, pop, and dreary alternative. I hit dubstep for a while before it all sounded the same, and finally stepped back to Daft Punk and Fatboy Slim. I've been pretty satisfied with them, but I'm looking for newer music from people no one has heard of. Any suggestions?

    Found Lindsey on Youtube a while back, loved her!
    lemme see hear... mumford and sons was good out of the gate but quickly sounded the same everytime...everything else started sounding like Muse and that ruined Muse for me...Heard alittle Florence and the machine and it's pretty good.

    Never thought Frank Ocean would make it onto the list xD

    I'll check these out, but recently I found:

    Jonathan Coulton
    They Might be Giants
    Anamanguchi
    I Fight Dragons
    Hadoken!
    Zelda and the Unibrows

    and I like them but there's something missing... I have electronica, rock, acoustic, house music, chiptunes, 8-bit rock, orchestral and alittle dubstep...
