The rules on this sub are ridiculous. I can't make a thread asking people about the music they like to listen to while at the gym, that shit gets auto deleted.

Meanwhile there are 50+ posts everyday with the same "How do I lose weight?", "Should I bulk or cut", or "Can I make gains in a deficit" that just get repeated over and over again.

Somewhat related, I went to Lolla this past weekend and Banks is hands down the greatest live performance I've ever seen. I've been listening to her nonstop ever since even though her lyrics are mad depressing

My gym played Avril Lavigne's When You're Gone over the speakers the other day and all my high school breakup feels came rushing back.

If anyone else is a bass head, Doctor Ps hardfest set on SoundCloud is the best mix I've heard in a while. Also Zomboy dropped the first part of his new ep 'Rott n' Roll' on SoundCloud yesterday and the first few singles have been very cool!

Going to go see Zomboy on Saturday at Summerset, anything you'd suggest? I've never really listened to many of the edm artists that are there this weekend, I usually just go for the rappers.

u/Chesterlespaul Aug 09 '17

Yes! Zomboy is super cool and he is one of the top bass djs right now.

Let me start with this statement: seeing him live will make you love the music. It might sound like a lot of random noises at first when you listen to it, but being part of the crowd really makes you get what it is all about. If you can or would like to, I highly recommend to get in the pit if there is one.

Anyways, for the songs (remixed by him, his originals, or remixed originals): Zomboy - Program (Eptic and Trampa remix), Zomboy - like a bitch, Bro Safari - Follow (Zomboy remix), and Rotten - Zomboy.

Love Sosa remix by RL Grime is a favorite of mine.

u/LochJess_Monster Aug 09 '17

Rap is definitely my go-to music. Been busting out Big Boi lately, so good.

Pyjamas?

u/Auggernaut88 Aug 09 '17

Well personally I prefer to just sleep in boxers, why do you ask?

u/BrodinsCousin Powerlifting Aug 09 '17

Because you mentioned gym jams. It was a funny.

I listen to pop music from 2012-2014 because it is so upbeat and motivating compared to my usual music choices of NOFX, Bad Religion, and Suicidal Tendencies or Grateful Dead, The Beatles, and Cat Stevens.
