Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!
The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Sponge - Molly (Sixteen Candles)
Not only does it beg to be cranked up, but your foot gets a little heavier on the gas pedal. So good.
The Hellfire Club by Thornhill
I really recommend this band! I love their style. Kinda metalcore alternative rock alternative metal stuff. This is the song that introduced me to them and I feel it's definitely a song to turn up loud
Idles is some high energy fun that's always good to crank up.
This is black midi's noisiest and most non-sensical song but I can't help myself when this one comes on.
great picks!!
to me, yeah, it's like you are listening to some music, then that song comes on and you go, "awww yeah!" and crank that shit upppppp!
Edit: since I'm back in the 90s I'm going to throw in burden in my hand as a bonus.
