Hell yeah, I love that Mexican female pop that sounds like Electronica Cumbia that also features a rap verse. The music videos are about being hot and selling drugs but the vibes are impeccable.
Arabian pop IS slept on. But it also encompasses the stuff my mom listens to, and she and old German ladies listen to the same music just in different languages.
Unsure if any are active or not, that isn’t something I pay too close attention too personally unless it is local music, but here are a few recs from what I could Google about them being active (or at least not disbanding)
Alcest
Blut Aus Nord
Sortilège (reformed in 2019 after a long hiatus)
Bran Barr is good folk metal but only two albums though over 10 years, technically never disbanded.
Igorrr is the best metal period, not just French. Very experimental but it goes hard. Imagine Frank Zappa, Aphex Twin and Dead Can Dance writing a metal album and you get Igorrr.
Relatable. I go a step further by deliberately listening to songs in foreign languages I do not understand, so I do not know the lyrics at all!
How could that go wrong?
Oh, the memories. I used to download that off Kazaa to show people. Usually alongside Don Hertzfeldt’s Rejected.
16 year old YouTube video lol. Fuck we’re old.

I love doing this! French metal is slept on and Arabian pop slaps.
All pop slaps, foreign pop just slaps harder because you can’t understand the cringe lyrics.
Not true, I can’t understand Korean but K-Pop is still cringe.

Theres also a lot of really cool Arabic metal.
I enjoy Landmvrks but otherwise don’t know any heavy French music. Got any reccs for currently active bands?
Gojira kicks ass but all their stuff is in English.
Oh wow I’ve listened to them and even seen them with Mastodon but I didn’t know that Gojira was French
