@K4ND1B4R: sea of thieves!! love that game :3 i haven't played in a while tho. for artists, i know the longest johns is a huge name rn but you might have also heard some stuff from the dreadnoughts, which is primarily a folk punk band but they've done a few trad shanty songs (notably, their album Into The North is entirely trad shanty). there are a lot of artists out there tho so i don't blame you for not remembering any lol. i def encourage you to keep listening to shanty and all forms of folk tho!

i once went thru a phase where i was obsessed w sea shanties (thanks sea of thieves) but i cannot remember anyone i listened to besides the longest johns. as for folk punk, i'm sure i've probably listened to some but i don't keep track of genres or artist names i just add things that sound nice into my playlist lollz

@Jase_Burton: if you ever want to branch out, the playlist that i frequently listen to is on spotify, it's called "Sea Shanties You Could Theoretically [REDACTED]"! i can't recommend it more honestly folk in general is one of my fave genres, and it encompasses so many areas such as shanty, bar songs, southern gothic, etc. folk punk is even more unique tbh, with such an interesting blend of elements depending on which artist you listen to. i could go on even more, but i feel like this is breaching into hyperfixation, lol -- you can message me if you want to know more!

i occasionally listen to a couple sea shanties here and there but very rarely. i do like listening to them tho !! as for traditional folk or folk punk, i've never really ever listened to it i don't think, so i dunno if i like it or not lol

@idrankthebatteryacid:

i'd say depending on what songs and albums you're listening to from those artists you're probably listening to a few folk punk songs, i know poxy boggards has a few folk punk songs and so do the skullduggers. that sounds like an amazing artist list tho! i definitely encourage you to check out more if you're open, i've def gotta recommend the legendary stan rogers as well as storm weather shanty choir, hair of the dog, skinny lister, david coffin, and seamus kennedy!

@R3LAXR0NAN: i have a folk punk playlist i can rec to you! it's pretty much all dreadnoughts, flogging molly, dropkick murphys, and smokey bastard but it's a good place to start. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1XfuI0kSUui2Yk9q...

i dont listen to very much folk but! sea shanties my beloved <3
(i probably listen to more folk punk then i think, not sure! always have a bit of trouble identifying genres aha)
i mostly stick to the same few artists but ive been slowly branching out, current favorites atm are; toucan pirates, kimber's men, the seadogs, salt sea pirates, the skullduggers, the poxy boggards and (ofc) the longest johns
