Blogs and websites
I only intend on including websites on this list that I think are using their resources efficiently. In most cases, that's going to mean no JavaScript, but I'm not opposed to people using JavaScript so much as I am to people abusing it. Websites that require JavaScript to work based on my own testing are marked with the high voltage⚡emoji.

Artists
- Helvetica Blanc exploring "mysticism, the subconscious, and worldbuilding with an emphasis on form and texture"
- lordampersand exploring "the interaction between organic and technological processes"
- yardonthirdstreet - I like the art style of yardonthirdstreet. I'd probably say they've served as an inspiration for me, certainly in the case of my landing page.
Music
I like to listen to Radio Free Fedi, which is kind of like the online college radio station of the fediverse.
- Zhea Erose who makes some really cool microtonal music, though my favourite album by her is just piano
- World's End Girlfriend who makes electronic music that incorporates lots of orchestral elements
- Kaizo Slumber's earlier works under the name Acetantina are kind of like vaporwave but more up beat and rhythmic, with the exception of Carmen Winstead which is much more dark
- Human Kitten - emo folk(?)
- Eola - Dreamchoral music
- Doopee Time - a lounge/steel pan/noise album by Yann Tomita. If you can get past the initial weirdness of it, it's a really cool concept album.
- AERO GROS M - hyperpop rap. CW for intense descriptions of mental illness and gore.
- rangerbts makes music reminiscent of chiptune
Breakcore and adjacent subgenres
Sorted in order of (generally) least to most aggressive in my opinion
- I.W. is very thematically anime
- hkmori does a lot of depressive breakcore
- Sorry about my face is more sonically pop in some albums
- KoçitSkoria / Orqzeu has some breakcore, some happy hardcore, and some stuff in between
- Andy pls
- lhk has a more computer-y aesthetic
- dev is very thematically anime in a more aggressive way
