I've been kinda stressing out over the fact my music library is limited. Mostly I've been listening to like Indie rock pop (if that's a thing) kind of stuff. And also rap, etc. For example,I listen to Two Door Cinema, Vampire Weekend, Chance the Rapper, The Black Keys, just to name a few. I really want to get to exposed to new music so if you guys have anything to recommend, I would greatly appreciate it.

Judging on who you've listed, I think these bands would be a good start for you. I will try and categorize them into what genres they fit into. I have a feeling you would totally love stuff like Synthpop or Dream pop.

Is suggest 30 seconds to mars. Their music I guess is rock, but it has a definite uniqueness to it.

Hey thanks man, I really enjoyed most of the the music you posted! Metric, Tame Impala, Flying lotus, M83, Chvrches, STRFKR, and MF DOOM were probably the ones that I fell in love with right away. If you have anymore, you should post them!

I'm glad you liked it. You should get a last.fm if you don't have one so it's easier to track what you're listening to and what bands you like. Here's mine.

If you like that stuff, I'd also recommend Black Milk, Blood Cultures, Dr. Dog, El-P, cLOUDDEAD, The Bilinda Butchers and Neat Beats

Good call on Black Keys, OP. Have you listened to their old albums (big come up, rubber factory, etc.) or are you a newer listener?
Oh, and Chance. He's pretty damn good too.

Here's a couple of my personal favorites, with links to full albums.
Because in my opinion that's the only way to listen to a band.

Queens of the Stone Age. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVV_3Z1mp_c) = so f**cking classic it huuurts.
Arctic Monkeys. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msX-5m4QzzM)
Kings of Leon. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JgCplS3gjE)
Alt J. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COH5vS0XxVc)
Half Moon Run. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIYOxxz9YFg)
XXYYXX. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wn8igSeiCI)

I'm currently doing a "find a new band each week" challenge. So PM me if you want me to update ya every once in a while with some more bands.

For any fans of dynamic and heavy music out there I'd highly recommend Devin Townsend. Lead singer of the now defunct Strapping Young Lad (an incredibly aggressive and very very fast metal band), he's now a solo artist who has multiple projects that have released like 15 albums over the past 15 years.

One such album is based on my name-sake, Ziltoid The Omniscient. It's a heavy metal musical about an omnidimensional alien with an inferiority complex who comes to Earth demanding humans make him the "ultimate cup of coffee". Of course, they do not possess the finest bean, and are therefore punished severely. The fate of humanity rests on the shoulders of Captain Spectacular, the only person who could possibly defeat the caffeine addicted alien!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUcmBI1D4lg here's the full album
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5BqyluKkk0 here's one of the more catchy and accessible tracks.

I hope you enjoy, fetid humans!
