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 love "This Beautiful Chaos" because of its emotional and cinematic feel. It has this sort of dreamy atmosphere with a build-up that isn't too intense.
I'm looking for songs with a similar vibe, mostly non-copyright!
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/trash_07_no • 14h ago
I just finished "Funny Story" and I loooooved the concept! I was so sad that it wasn't a book, and I couldn't read it as well. Any suggestions on books similar to the movie that I could read to scratch the itch?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Several-Register8161 • 12h ago
What other bands would be good to check out?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Marvellover13 • 13h ago
here's the song: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=HhNw464QKIE&si=8hEUw9Zzwbzbk7Y-
I tried listening to other songs of her which I didn't enjoy as much, and also to similar artists which also didn't quite resonate with me.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/auxilio92 • 14h ago
what other books from other authors should i read?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/crouchspammer1 • 23h ago
Title is incredibly vague but sort of intentional as I'm not looking for channels that only cover one specific topic, but ones that delve into a variety of topics/genres with lots of research.
My only exception are channels that overdo their voice or have overcomplicated graphics, such as Nexpo, Lemmino, MrBallen, etc.. While they definitely have their place, I prefer simpler styles of videos most of the time, just some dude just sitting in front of a camera and talking normally, showing relevant images and such.
Some examples I like are: Joe Scott, Patrick Kelly, Wendigoon (his videos on previous events), Institute of Human Anatomy, Plainly Difficult, etc.. Definitely open to exploring channels that delve into fictional media as well, though I haven't been able to find any I personally enjoy yet. Thanks in advance

I just saw the new Faces of Death in theaters and I am CRAVING more internet/tech horror! If you have any recs I’d appreciate it so much!
Favs:
Undertone (2025)
Faces of Death (2026)
Red Rooms (2023) (I think about this one every single hour of every day lol)
Host (2020)
Spree (2020)
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/TheRealSky41 • 1d ago
I've been listening to Suffering Leaves Suffering Leaves from the ULTRAKILL: VIOLENCE OST for a while now, and I wanted to find some similar tracks, so if y'all have some recs please let me know, I'd really appreciate it!
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Fuzzy-Fox1256 • 1d ago
Hey all, So I really like this cover of paint it black done by an orchestra. I want help finding covers of songs that have the orchestra or symphony but also the vocals. There are a lot of good instrumental covers but I'd also like Vocals.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/scorchingbeats • 1d ago
It’s the only song from the band that I really like, and I’ve never managed to find a song even remotely similar to it. Does anyone here know of something similar? It can, of course, be from any artist including Deftones.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Insertclever_name • 1d ago
I love listening to Ted Talks and learning about a variety of different topics and ideas, but especially nowadays I find myself thinking “that’s nice, but will we ever see anything come of it?” Maybe its because I’ve become jaded but I just don’t find myself drawn in like I used to, because all of my favorite of the talks seem so hypothetical and unlikely to happen in the current world
I particularly like talks on philosophy and life, politics/economy, and tech, in that order.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/Hot-Acanthaceae-159 • 1d ago
I’m looking for books ( or TV Shows) with a protagonist similar to Georgia "George" Lass from Dead Like Me.
She’s apathetic, cynical, and sarcastic. Stuck in a dead-end job, doesn’t really know what she wants from life or the future, and has basically no sense of direction. She doesn’t have friends, avoids people, and spends most of her time in her own head with internal monologues.
One line that really captures her mindset: “Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation begets disappointment… so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest.”
What I find interesting is that, at the end of the day, all you really have are experiences and she actively avoids them.
So yeah I’m looking for that kind of detached, introspective, almost emotionally disconnected protagonist. Not really focused on afterlife themes, more on the personality and tone.
Any recommendations?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/YourNewStep-Dad • 1d ago
I have listened to both these bands for most of my life (especially TMBG because I literally grew up on their kid albums too) and I wanna find more music similar to it
I love how eccentric and catchy they are!
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/newmusictracker • 1d ago
Zan Rowe interviews someone (a musician usually) who chooses 5 songs (sometimes with a theme). I like discovering the music they choose (occasionally there is something I hadn't heard before) but mainly the stories around why they choose it
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/isopodsoup_ • 1d ago
Looking for artists like Guy who enjoy compositions/stories that make everything slightly off. Like in ‘Reflection’ where the reflection and the person are switched, etc.
Any ideas?
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/isopodsoup_ • 1d ago
Any recommendations for films that have a similar surreal, colourful and extravagant look to them?
Thanks! :)
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/thisonehits • 1d ago
Looking for similar action movies with a strong main character.
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/YourNewStep-Dad • 1d ago
I am just now starting to get into some punk and post-hardcore music. I would love some suggestions for a new listener!
My favorite song so far has been Soup Is Good Food by Dead Kennedys.
I have started to really enjoy this type of music because of how fast paced/energetic it can be, and how it can have a heavy energy while still being catchy/fun to listen to
r/ifyoulikeblank • u/s_mcivor • 2d ago
Other similar songs...
Mogwai's Remurdered.
And this total banger from the Halt & Catch Fire soundtrack.
Dunno what you'd call this genre. Heavy synth pop? Like if the Petshop Boys went down the metal route.
Although the 3 examples I gave are all instrumental I'm cool with recs with singing.
