Wow, neat list there, finally it seems I've found someone on this site who's not a complete tool. How do you survive here? I've only been here for a few days and am already thinking about leaving. What are some of your favorite bands?

Not familiar with chiptune, though.

I like everybody here, but yeah. There's a crapload of bands I can name off that I like, but my top ten is: Smashing Pumpkins, Joy Division, Crystal Castles, Swans, HEALTH, the Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Coil, and Pearl Jam.

Smashing Pumpkins used to be one of my favorites, but I grew out of them, still like em' quite a bit, though. I never use to think much of JD, but I've really started to like them a lot lately, Day Of The Lords is probably one of the best songs of all-time. Never heard of Crystal Castles. Hate Swans. Never heard HEALTH. Cure is very hit or miss for me, but Disintergration is probably one of my favorite albums of all-time. Nine Inch Nails are cool. Depeche Mode is cool. Never really listened to Coil, though I have heard them a couple of times. I feel Pearl Jam are overrated among grunge bands, but they're still pretty great, can never bring myself to change than channel when one of their songs come on the radio.

My top 10 favorite bands atm are: Slowdive, Idaho, Stars Of The Lid/Take Pills Die, Pet Shop Boys, Bailter Space, Bleach, Plexi, David Bowie, Daft Punk, Boris

I'd say kill yourself, but what you're doing barely constitutes living anyway. Wait, I forgot also like swing music, as well as artists like Miles Davis, Mudhoney, Billie Holiday, and every band that's ever played Lilith Fair. Oh shit, I just jizzed myself thinking about how cool I am. You are all so uncool and pedantic. no bluegrass?!? INSTAFAIL

You know, this joke might work better if you guys actually knew any eclectic genres or artists.
