I heard some awesome things about this new genre called Nu Under Hipnotic Toad Main Room Glitch Technopsytrap!
However, its so 2014 that you may not have heard of it yet.
the term "post" is way to mainstream. me being a hip boy gonna go with "pre-" from now on!
because it was there before it was cool!
I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
One of the reasons i loathe to purchase anything from beatport (that and like an extra £4.50 for wav? Ever heard of bandcamp, or CDs? You will do when amazon buy you out, you robbing cunts! /rant) is their ridiculous genres.
I'm really supposed to know about this stuff, i get called out all the time. I only learned what "trap" was about 2 weeks ago, and that's only because somebody told me i was playing it...if it's got sexy bass i'll play it.
In the music scene at the moment, at least how i'm seeing it, there is an amazing amount of cross-genre work and really unexpected music being widely accepted, on popular radio you have the likes of Jamie XX or SBTRKT playing along side The Black Keys or Jake Bugg, one extremely new sound, another that could have been recorded in the 60's/70's and all up and down the spectrum people are taking more musical influence, easily and unashamedly, thanks to our Remix Culture, which i think is fantastic.
The problem is, people try to rationalise why they like stuff and pigeon-hole it and make these stupid fucking genres so they can explain to other people what exactly it is they like and why it makes them awesome and different.
Beatport are a massive enforcer of this idiot culture, make a new genre, plug it, whack a few strong releases out and call them this genre, then flood the market with shit and know the idiots will snap it all up.

Maybe , but I don't think "glo-fi" is getting anywhere anytime soon
