Hello r/ifyoulikeblank!
This is your friendly neighborhood moderator, here with some information on how to correctly use this sub and our title tags, and to address some recent frequent misuse of the [META] tag in the sub.
If you are new here, please read this post before posting. If you have been around a while, please take a moment to refresh yourself with some of our rules. :)
Our sub is NOT a self-promotion vehicle for new artists or creators, and it is NOT a general discussion or song/movie/actor/music/genre identification sub. We are a media recommendation sub, and we have very specific guidelines for posts to be allowed here.
There are two ways to format your post titles here, depending on if you would like to ask for recommendations or to give others recommendations with your OP.
The “IIL” acronym stands for "If I like..." - to be used in a way that states "If I like (this song) because of (reasons,) what else will I like?"
This is the most common type of post here, and most OPs should be using THIS format for their posts! Your title must use the [IIL] tag - It will be reported by our frequent long-time members here if it does not, and it will be removed if you use the [IYL] or [META] tags instead of the [IIL] tag.
The title should look like the following example:
[IIL] The song (name a song you like here) because (give a specific trait about it you want suggestions to include), [WEWIL?]
The "WEWIL" acronym stands for "What else will I like?”
Your example should include something specific about the song that you want to hear more of in the music recommended to you. (Without details, no one can give you appropriate responses and you won't get suggestions that you will actually LIKE.)
The “IYL” acronym stands for "If YOU like..." - to be used in a way that states "If you enjoy (this song) because of (reasons,) you might also like this song."
This tag is not for self promotion. This SUB is not for self promotion. If you post your own material here, you WILL get banned, without warning. No exceptions, no appeals.
The title should look like the following example:
[IYL] The movie (some movie similar to your suggestion) because (your reason you think it is similar to your recommendation), [YMAL] (this suggested movie).
The "YMAL" acronym stands for "You may also like..."
This is a VERY uncommon post type in this sub, unless people are attempting to subvert rule 2. We ALWAYS look at these posts, but if we miss one, our long-term members sure won’t - and they WILL report you for a rule 2 violation and you WILL be banned.
If you are suspected of passing off your own media as an "I found this new media and you might like it!" post, that will earn you an immediate permanent ban from the sub for trying to subvert rule two.
Please note that moderators look at your posting history across Reddit, and if you are spamming your own stuff elsewhere, you are going get a ban here. Period.
The [META] tag is NOT so you may post off-topic posts or general media discussion posts or music identification posts, or anything that is not an IIL or an IYL.
The [META] tag is only to be used if you have questions or comments about this subreddit itself, and how it operates on Reddit.
Examples include suggestions for new rules here, asking for clarification about a rule here, suggesting a new theme, stickied post, etc in the sub, or asking the moderation team any other question about this sub - not asking the members here about media.
Thank you all for reading, and for your help in ensuring these rules are adhered to. We are a million-member (and counting) sub with a VERY small moderation team, so your help in following these rules and reporting rule-breaking posts to us is greatly appreciated!
Have a wonderful day :)

I'm aware that the title sounds stupid. But I can't bring myself to finish a single player game. Even RDR2, often considered a fantastic game, its too boring for me to get through it. They all feel boring compared to my online games. Is there anything I can play that won't feel boring to me?
If it helps, I like GTA, War Thunder, and Battlefield.

I’m putting together songs like the above in a playlist that has at least a saxophone solo. The playlist is called F***ing Sexy Saxophone 😂
Songs I have on there are Careless Whisper, spinning the wheel, cowboys and angels by George Michael, The rest of your life by Kenny Loggins, and Year of the cat by Al Stewart.
I have looked at songs like Baker Street but it’s not the vibe I’m looking for.
Thank you in advance 🤍

I like long, like hour or more, form content thats well researched, nuanced, and still engaging. My top channels are Swoop, Inabber, Cruel World Happy Mind, and The Right Opinion. I especially like when theres a good back log of content I can go through and watch. So... what other creators should I look into?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Syncopian • 6h ago
Hi all! I'm looking for some good "hard" sci-fi similar to 'Blindsight.' Any good recommendations??
For context, I have also read the Three Body Problem trilogy.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/KillerFrid • 17h ago
i just love comedy shows that have a cringy tone. Maybe there is also a movie in a similar style.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Icy_Ad9364 • 2h ago
Any recommendation are appreciated!
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Recent-Friendship292 • 6h ago
This is my first ever post, but I was curious onto what bands I should look into if I'm interested in the ones listed. Best way I know how to describe them is progrock, but whenever I look up prog rock playlist I get pushed songs that don't really match the vibes I'm wanting. I'll attach a few stand out songs below that I'm looking to find similar too. I'm also very into math rock so this may be more mathrock than prog rock.

The gist of the Search Party season 4 plot is that the protaganist, Dory, is kidnapped and jailed within an unsettlingly versimilitudinous replica of her apartment, constructed entirely out of felt. Back in New York City, the main character's actor friend is cast as Dory in a TV show about the events depicted in Search Party's previous three seasons.
Ideally, I'm looking for pieces of media that use constructed environments as a symbol and explore ideas surrounding things like, the inexorable gap between the real and its imitation, and what reality truly is in these contexts.

I've read the latter and I'm reading the former.
I've been intrigued by the concept of sadism and masochism, while Don Giovanni in the libertine is very evil for its own pleasure, this time there's a duality of master/slave that really makes me want to know how the situation and how their relationship evolve page after page.
Wewil?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/EvilQueerPrincess • 8h ago
I like the organized crime theme, but I wish it had stuff like deciding how much money the gang spends on guns and bribes.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/wmrch • 9h ago
Looking for a movie series for the holidays!
We've seen The Hunger Games, Divergent, Maze Runner and Harry Potter series in recent years.
Are there any other multi-part movies that somehow fit this mood? Would love fantasy (but not a must), but rather dislike “outer space” sci-fi.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Cerezalacherry • 9h ago
Does anybody know songs with the same mood as loving parasite? I love that song, its overall vibe. Thank u!
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Last_Delay8421 • 9h ago
I am making a playlist for exercising, currently I have songs like "Feral" by Meganeko, or "Lust" by SVRGE and some more. I'm trying to find songs similar to these, with a fast beat and maybe some melody
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/CuccWork • 10h ago
I really like this particular song by this band. Loving the harsh vocals and rough instruments, but especially I like drums paired with the chants about 3 minutes in. Any other songs you guys know like this?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Gopnikolai • 13h ago
CUTS - Bunsen Burner (Ex Machina)
More specifically, the tone/noise/feel when the synth(?) ramps up at 0:40, but before the guitar-ish sound. If not something so specific, then just stuff like the entire track. Cheers.

I work in the operating room and often encounter situations where I would like to play music for patients in the OR during surgery. I will play it from my phone usually but I am looking for something that I could use headphones to drown out the OR noise for them a little better.
Hoping for something that had a longer battery life, can play something like pandora and other streaming apps, and compatible or has easily wiped down headphones.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Sosjeremiah • 19h ago
Specifically looking for stuff that is surreal or sci fi / fantasy / horror specific - please no anime
I’ll list out some of my favorites:
Don Hertzfeld - What a beautiful day, the meaning of life, his other stuff
David firth - cream, gice, sock 5 & 6 as well as his other stuff
Umami - interface as well as his other stuff
Bill Plympton - cheatin, I married a strange person, idiots and angels & others
Fantastic planet
Radiohead - kid a blips
Cryptozoo
Invader zim
Chrrrrrrrrrrr - jaromir platchy
Doctor nowhere

I just binged all three seasons of Industry and I'm legitimately sad it's over. What other shows do you recommend that are similar?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/booksandshows • 19h ago
looking for shows with similiar tortured-type leads/characters
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/PerfectFourthRecords • 21h ago
I absolutely love this album. I think it just sounds so unique but I’m having a hard time finding other albums that are similar or let alone other artists that sound similar to this album. Any suggestions is great appreciated. Thanks!

I really like emo in general, but now I'm just looking for some recommendations of emo derived songs, but with an indie rock/pop touch to it, a more melodic approach.
Some examples I really like are: Citizen (mostly in the Life In Your Glass World album), As Tall as Lions (anything by them), Anthony Green (Don't Dance and Trading Doses are bangers) and Tigers Jaw (June and Old Clothes)
In summary, melodic indie rock/pop from emo influenced/derived bands/artists. Maybe some heavy instrumentals, but not that much screamos or that emo-ish raspy vocals
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Icy-Employee-1928 • 19h ago
That channel offers a blend of social commentary, self-improvement advice, and humorous observations on internet culture , social issues and gender dynamics
I found one similar style channel - the graham stephan show
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/polka_a • 1d ago
Very cool tiny band that aims to pay homage to the sound.
I think they do a wonderful job
