Your gateway to endless inspiration
Following the Christian emo anon, there's also Christian metal. I don't know many bands personally but Wytch Hazel comes to mind. They're more heavy metal than any other metal subgenre so they sound closer to hard rock
You guys have no idea how much I'm loving you, making me discover all these amazing musiciansðŸ˜ðŸ˜
You know what, I actually see him enjoying Wytch Hazel to an extent.
They've got good lyrics, good musicality and not too many artificial sounds (comparing to trap or techno I mean).
I mean, the fact that music isn't anywhere near to how it sounded 800 years ago is something that a clever mind like Baldwin's wouldn't take too long to understand, and he's open to evolve and open his horizons with it too. But that doesn't mean that he still doesn't enjoy listening to music he can actually relate to.
I don't know how many other bands from this genre are out there but this specific one would be Baldwin-approved!
Also this modern music talk made me think about my answers a bit, and I decided that I must add that more "spicy" or "explicit" songs wouldn't shock him TOO MUCH, since Medieval songs, especially French ones from Provence (where Baldwin's family is from) had a specific romantic genre that was basically nobles talking about their crazy hookups or fantasies about the women they love.
That being said, I was considering softer explicit songs, my boy would probably still get a heart attack if he ever listened to WAP or any song from Ice Spice or Cupcakke.
Lastly, he'd absolutely hate Lil Nas X for his mocking of christianity and all, he wouldn't handle the disrespect I think.
What kind of music would Baldwin listen to in modern times?
To be honest I think he'd try listening to everything at least once, just to be able to test everything.
Do I even need to say that he would absolutely HATE rap, techno and metal? Especially for the content of the lyrics.
Rock is on thin ice, he might tolerate it.
I see him as becoming obsessed with older singers and artists like Frank Sinatra or Edith Piaf, mostly because they're very close to what medieval songs were about most of the time (love songs about eternal promises and broken hearts lmao).
BUT, Classical and Gregorian music are probably his favorites, I see him as an enjoyer of most requiems honestly.
Country music is... kind of an enigma to him? Like, he doesn't really like it but doesn't hate it either. Probably wouldn't mind listening to a few songs but definitely wouldn’t suggest it either.
Lastly, seeing how tolerant he was to other religions and cultures, I believe that he would be really interested in listening to any folk songs. He's probably be curious to hear how Israeli's music has evolved after so many centuries, along with the other countries he's been in contact with.
Overall a pretty open minded listener, plus he'll put aside any of his personal preferences to listen to what his darling likes most, just to have something to share with them.
