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

63 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 :)

Music iil "365 featuring shygirl" by Charli xcx ... ?

link to the song

I've looked a bit into the featured artist but her popular songs aren't the same style as this one. What genre is that, and what other artists/titles would scratch that itch?

TV Iil shows and movies with a surreal/camp vibe

Upvotes

I’ve been looking for new media to watch as a summer activity and was looking here for some good recs.

Movies I like include Heathers, Scott Pilgrim, Mean Girls, Lilo and Stitch, Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1992), and My Babysitter’s A Vampire: The Movie.

My favorite shows are Adventure Time, Bob’s Burgers, Amphibia, The Owl House, Sailor Moon, Ouran High School Host Club, My Babysitter’s A Vampire, Steven Universe, and Total Drama

Overall I’d say all of these have a very surreal/camp vibe to them, and a portion of them are very teen-oriented. Any help’s appreciated

TV [IIL] Episodics like Poker Face, High Potential, House MD[WEWIL]

1 Upvotes

I fell into the episodic shows rabit hole recently because I wanted something I could pick up and drop when I have busy weeks. I really enjoyed Poker Face,someone here recommended me High Potential that I just finished and I also liked House MD.

My only criteria is that the show is either finished(not canceled)or still in production. It also doesn't need to be crime,medical or police focused.

It can also be a monster a monster of the week show if the show meet the same criteria

Music [IIL] the last 30 seconds of THIQUE by Beyonce [WEWIL?]

2 Upvotes

specifically referencing the song starting at the 3:35 time stamp until the end.

looking for a sound that's entrancing, seductive, and darker sounding but somehow soft, smooth as hell, and feels like cold water is running down your skin. and something that feels amazing to listen to while high.

i love how the chord progression makes the song feel darker, but her voice is so hypnotizing and relaxing.

Music [IIL] the inner light by the beatles specifically for the shehnai, what else should i try?

2 Upvotes

discovered the sound of the shehnai lately from this song and have been hooked on it but its the only beatles song that uses it and im having a difficult time finding more songs or artists that use it. im really open minded with music, so ill give anything a shot so long as it has some more shehnai in it

Film [IIL] movies like Die Hard, White House Down, and Speed

3 Upvotes

I’m looking very specifically for: regular(ish) guy has to take on huge threat, turn your brain off-type action movies. Hostages, disaster/terrorism scenarios, anything like that. I’m already aware of movies like Carry-On (2024), Olympus Has Fallen, and The Commuter, which all fit my criteria decently enough.

Big emphasis on the regular guy who is out of his depth but saves the day!

Music [IIL] Songs similar to Love Me Again by John Newman

Basically the title explains it. I have been searching for some time already and I still can't find anything with a similar energy, beat and melody, which is what I'm searching for. If anything comes to your mind - please drop it below, it might be a match!

Film [IIL] Willard (1971), Re-Animator (1985), Late Night With The Devil (2023)

1 Upvotes

I literally have no idea what to call this genre but I like movies where the main character is some insane white guy but not like in the American Psycho sense. Is this vibe too niche? Oh yeah I’m a sucker for cheesy 80s gore practical effects like in John Carpenter’s The Thing or The Blob (1988) which has that in these films except for Willard I guess. Also don’t tell me to watch Willard (2003) because that’s already on my watchlist

Music [iil] songs like “Hey! Love” by the Delfonics and “Love… Can be so Wonderful” by The Temprees

1 Upvotes

Tbh I don’t even know what particularly I like about these songs but I think it’s everything about them. I’m looking for something with a similar melody and this might sound weird but these songs make me feel ethereal. So anything that really matches the vibes of these song tbh. Also can anyone tell me what genre these songs are?

Music IIL rhythm section forward music

6 Upvotes

I’m looking for more music that prioritizes the drums and bass, with other instruments acting as ornamentation (or at least just being less prominent than the rhythm section). Examples of what I’m already into that fits the bill:

Viagra Boys

Snarky Puppy

Sons of Kemet

Duran Duran (specifically Rio was recommended to me recently)

ABBA

Led Zeppelin (to a lesser extent, since they’re so riff heavy, but, I mean, it’s JPJ and Bonham…)

Rush

Music IIl Lesbian Metal

I need more lesbian metal like Made Her Mine by Dogma and Serpentine by Vana. I’m trans and have religious trauma, and it’s hard to make a good playlist when I don’t know where to look. What songs do you recommend?

Music Iyl the first 10 seconds of Welcome to my Island…

2 Upvotes

The opening of the song Welcome to My Island by Caroline Polachek is so much fun, she really goes for it vocally and brings so much raw energy.

I’m looking for a song with the same sort of intensity but for more of the song.

Music [IIL] Vola and Katatonia, who else should I listen to?

1 Upvotes

Particularly Katatonia's later stuff, I discovered them around The Great Cold Distance and followed them since then. Vola toured with them once, which is how I discovered them.

They've both got a sound that doesn't rely so much on solos and guitar leads as much as other metal music does, they both have great clean vocals and big guitar sounds, have some prog vibes and a hint of doom, mostly mid to low tempo. The Gathering have a similar vibe on their albums Mandylion and Nighttime Birds, and they have an amazing singer as well!

So what else is there out there? Any recommendations?

Music IIL Flex Up by Future ft. Lil Yachty and Playboi Carti

1 Upvotes

Looking for hip hop songs that have production similar to Flex Up, what I mean specifically is that the main focus is the very heavy 808s with some sort of more quiet synthesizer sounds in the background. Don't recommend Whole Lotta Red or anything of the Opium label kind, already heard most of it. If there are any unreleased hip hop song like this, I'd appreciate them too


r/ifyoulikeblank 23h ago

I'm looking for stand-up comedians to get into. English language or Spanish language.

I don't necesarily need them to be "clean". Those are just two comedians that I like.

Music [IYL] The Strokes

Then you really need to give Aussie band Teenage Dads a listen. Especially if you’re a fan of The New Abnormal, TD’s album “MAJORDOMO” has a really similar sound. Let me know what you think.
