First of all, before being "stoner" it is ROCK. Consequently, we expect most of the music being played by heavy & distorted guitars, real drums, and warm and blasting bass. This is not the case of Portishead. In the specific case of "stoner", among the most unique characteristics we may have the followings: the specific sound of the rhythm guitar (a sort of unpenetrable layer of sound, you could listen to "Gardenia" by Kyuss to understand what I mean), as well as the incorporation of psychedelic, doomish and "desert" elements, and last but not least the frequent recourse to the so-called "Stoner Culture" (cannabis,....), which explains also the origin of the name. I'm not so fluent in English, which is not my mother language, therefore I would recommend to have a deep session on stoner rock and stoner metal to understand all the differences with Portishead. I'm actually the curator of a few playlist on Spotify dealing with stoner music, you may want to check them out: ​ DUST AND SAND (Best of Modern Stoner) [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5wtjhQdoxH6s7zGMzWmgMt?si=--Arx1UeSg-kyA6KG\_6HGw](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5wtjhQdoxH6s7zGMzWmgMt?si=--Arx1UeSg-kyA6KG_6HGw) ​ THE DELICATE SOUND OF THUNDER (the "softer side" of stoner, plenty of atmospheric and dreamy tracks) [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/35TBTjB3pxXJRLin6A8yC2?si=xHvBMmEjQTKcebp1EgsDIA](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/35TBTjB3pxXJRLin6A8yC2?si=xHvBMmEjQTKcebp1EgsDIA) ​ SLOWLY (stoner doom, stoner/sludge) [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4QgKv87u7rAyVfdiu1WJBj?si=ljoRx6X8QbCvwVEG3sv6Aw](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4QgKv87u7rAyVfdiu1WJBj?si=ljoRx6X8QbCvwVEG3sv6Aw) ​ There are however lots of other good sources, including of course this subreddit.
