I recognize almost none of those artists but will definitely search those genres/playlists.

I think between the genres people have mentioned I can find a whole bunch of music to add onto my own playlists, which is helpful. I've been trying to branch out from just listening to classic rock, the RHCP, Drake, Post Malone, and The Weeknd, like I'm a teenage suburban white girl from 2016.

To add onto it, I also find myself lumping in rock to these playlists that isn't necessarily slow but that has parts of the song that slowdown or mellow out. They aren't the exact same but are close enough (to me) to once again elicit that same feeling when I listen to them.

Stuff like:

The Suburbs - Arcade Fire
Wolf Like Me - TV On the Radio
Sweater Weather - The Neighbourhood
Some Arctic Monkeys stuff
Some Collective Soul stuff
Some Foo Fighters stuff

I assume these all fall under Alternative, Grunge, or Indie.

Alternative Rock and Grunge are definitely closer to what I'm interested in, yeah. Found a playlist of each on Spotify that overlaps a lot with the stuff that I have on my own playlists. Indie Rock is another one that I just searched that has parts of what I'm looking for too. I think with all three I'm finding more of what I'm talking about. There are definitely a bunch of stuff under those subgenres that aren't exactly that, but it seems like most of my examples fit into those subgenres, rather than having a specific subgenre itself, if that makes sense. It does make my searching a lot easier though than combing through massive playlists of "90s/00s Rock".

I can see how those are no-brainer answers but I am essentially music illiterate to anything that wasn't top 40 ten to twenty years ago.

Yeah ballad is what I initially thought of as well, but often when you search for rock ballads you almost exclusively find classic rock. A lot of those classic rock ballads have a different sound to them too that is slightly different than what I'm going for.

I feel like every band has one or two of these songs on every album, which is why it would be easier for me to search for something more general and find a playlist than comb through a bunch of different music to find them individually.

Kind of similar to what Linkin Park does in a lot of their songs. More mellow/relaxing rock that is often kind of sad, but doesn't have to be. It being sad isn't the sticking point for me but I recognize that a lot of the songs are presented with that kind of tone.

Before listing some other examples I'll preface this by saying I grew up in the mid to late 2000s listening almost exclusively to top 40 and rap music, and would not consider myself to me a 'music person', meaning that only now as I get into it I'm discovering songs/bands that are incredibly mainstream and popular and that everyone except me apparently knows.

These are some other songs that I think put me in the same mood as what I previously described, and I realize that not all of them are in the same vein of "slow/mellow Linkin Park". Also, these are all incredibly mainstream, both because that's all I know, but also because I figure if others know them I can be led in the right direction:

1979 - Smashing Pumpkins
Amber - 311
Creep - Radiohead
Here Without You - 3 Doors Down
Innocent - Our Lady Peace
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
The Kill - Thirty Seconds To Mars
A whole bunch of what Nirvana and Oasis do

You get the point. I'm looking for baby's first mellow rock playlist, but don't think "sad rock" is the right thing to search Spotify for. I realize that I could listen to the aforementioned bands and find more of what I'm looking for, but I want to at least figure out what exactly to call it so that I can make broader searches. I also want to stay away from the 70s/80s classic rock stuff, which I do also like but don't really elicit the same response from me.

And it's fine to form impressions on stuff before you play it. There are plenty of things I'm sure I won't like without playing them because I know what I want and what I don't want in a game. For instance, I have little doubt I'd hate TLOU2, but I don't bother going into TLOU2 topics to pontificate about it. That's the weird thing to me.

Good thing no one else did this either!

Right on time for the new year and new season. January 13th start date. I like the looks of the new divisions, especially because we can theoretically see a final with two East or two West teams.

The Leafs are the favourite to win the Canadian Division, which means there is no chance that actually happens.

Washington Capitals legend Zdeno Chara is also looking to help his team with another cup.

Most games I play I never touch again simply because I don't really do replays and I often try to 100% games, meaning there isn't really a reason to go back to them.

Games I played for the first time this year that I will go back to in the future:

Pokemon Sword (whenever a new event takes place)
Hades
TLOU2 (platinum playthrough)

That might be it? Unless I'm missing something big.
