Is it comprehensive? Is it limiting? Why the hell doesn't it include Classical?

    80s/early 90s shoegaze and post punk get covered decently well for a broad list, but it could use some newer recs. Leaving off Jawbreaker is a huge miss as well, even though they aren't shoegaze/post punk

    This list is also clearly made by someone in their late 20s or 30s who takes it for granted that someone is already familiar with a lot of 2000s/2010s music as well. Where's the "pop punk"/"scene" representation? Thursday's Full Collapse, Title Fight's Floral Green, something by Turnover and something by Taking Back Sunday and Fall Out Boy should be on there somewhere. That shit was everywhere, and is just as defining/important as all of these 80s bands were.
