People into experimental music should listen to bands like Joy Division, Bauhaus, DEVO, Gang of Four, Gary Numan and generally any of that synth music around the late 70's and through the 80's which comes under the genre label: Post-Punk. That is the first experimental music that hit into proper circulation.
Ooh, can I suggest Of Montreal, MGMT, Tame Impala, Animal Collective....I was gonna mention one more but I forgot it.
The Cure, The Smiths,
The Sound, Fugazi, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Slowdive etc. etc.
I like Tame Impala and MGMT but some of their stuff sounds repetitive after a while, I'll check the other 2 out. In terms of modern stuff, I'd say Clams Casino, Tycho, n u a g e s , Duster, Molchat Doma, Crystal Castles, emo rappers like Lil Peep, pre-emo rappers like Viper, Smokepurpp, Yung Lean (more about the beats here than the lyrics), Bones etc. etc. I like a DSBM black metal artist called Xasthur, who is modern too, his music is very experimental; it's a serious variation on standard folk but also with the atmosphere of the depressive black metal tone. Electric, acoustic guitars, synths and screaming, lol.
Other than that underground black metal-y goth- y lo-fi hip-hop-y ambient music circuit on YT, the more popular electronic bands i always tend to gloss over. Cloud rap with youth culture in mind is one of the biggest mediums for modern synthy stuff I find.
I remember you liked NIN, Marilyn Manson said the Cure's
Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me was one of his biggest influences in an interview of him I watched- and I'm sure he was involved with Nine Inch Nails musically. NIN also draw a lot from Joy Division and the other post punk stuff like Soft Cell it says on their influences on wikipedia. It makes a lot of sense but NIN definitely deviate and sound a lot more heavier. I guess that's why it's called Industrial lol. I like the Downward Spiral from them that's a particularly intense album.
