SONATA ARCTICA - I Have A Right
Because my parents suck, so this is my anthem.
Edit: Disclaimer: I don't listen to much English songs so like... you know... pls don't be like "my tastes suck" because I haven't gotten a chance to really explore.
Btw, Any tips on how to find cool music?
I typically like more punchy rock music, but this one has a strong message and strong MV, so I'll give it a
7/10.
To answer your question, this is wholly dependent on your taste. 'Cool music' is subjective, so i don't want to recommend you anything I listen to. As another comment said, you can look to this thread to see what you may like.
Personally I use Spotify, and I know that the fediverse is generally averse to corporate music streaming platforms—especially them—but those guys never fail to recommend me a song i will like. A lot of my playlist is curated from their recommendations, so I'd also say you can start there.

Algorithms will occasionally turn up cool stuff but the best way is chatting with other folks who enjoy music. The algorithm of Spotify or yt music is often an easier place to find more music like what you already know you like. The more stuff you like, the more likely it is you'll find stuff in common with other people and you can ask them for reccomendations based on what you enjoy :)
But just hearing what other people are really into is a great way to broaden your horizons and hear a bunch of different kinds of cool stuff you wouldn't have found otherwise. I sometimes also like to look up the music that folks show in c/unixporn screenshots or that people mention in YouTube videos :) (oh, and sometimes you'll hear something good as part of the music for a video, movie scoring, etc, thats always cool too)
