Punk rock- The Clash, Gang of Four, Bad Brains, Fugazi
Post-rock- Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky, Mono (Japan), Shy Low, Bruit
Pop and pop-rock- Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, Lorde, Gracie Abrams, Meg Meyers
Crank wave (a type of post-punk)- Yard Act, Squid, Porridge Radio, Dry Cleaning, Black Country New Road, Sulk

And my current obsession who doesn't really fit into any one genre but could be called Southern Gothic, Ethel Cain
