post-dubstep isnt even funny as a joke. I’d honestly like to throat punch the person who claims they coined it.
Deep Granola Trail Mix House
honestly post-dubstep was one of the least offensive of those.
glo-fi on the other hand, wtf? melancholic house, dubtronica, street bass?
Glo-Fi is pretty big in the UK and is one of the few genres names that actually resembles the music that it describes.
I like a lot of Glo-Fi
hehe
i was laughing at first, but then i was pissed, because all the hipster djs in my town are gonna jump on this bandwagon. ![]()
street bass it so 2010
It sounds like another NME coined term for indie bands with a passing interest with neon and glowsticks.
lol
Yeah it does but it isn’t
It’s just slow, lo-fi, Indie with a lot of fuzzy ethereal sounds. Pretty much like the old ‘shoe gazing’ stuff of the 90’s . Definitely not kids and glow-sticks. I think that died out with the Klaxons and the nu-rave indie scene, thankfully.
Washed Out [Domino Records]
kinda like human race… i feel like theres only 4 main genres of music.. and then everything stems from those. this is just another gimmick for beatport to try and make money. im all for supporting artists, but beatport is just as corporate as any other music industry. i wish artists would just release wavs/320kbps tracks from their own site or something…
Melancholic House lol
My new name for Beatport = ExcreteSnort
Oh for the love of Christ…
“Melancholic House” is the most irritating of the ones I’ve listened to so far. Should be called “Emo R’n’B”.
If you ask me, there’s only 3 genres of (electronic) music; Trance (> 128bpm), Commercial (128bpm) and R’n’B (< 128bpm).
EDIT: At least we can now categorize Random Access Memories as “Neo New Wave”.
I’m glad I didn’t ask.
Where in those 3 do ‘Boards Of Canada’ fit ???
Just had to Google them. If “noise” was a category, they’d go in there
But their music seems slow (90bpm maybe?) so I guess R’n’B. Same as Deep House and all of that dren.
Hah ok. Nuff said.
Genres are useless unless you want to stick to a narrow niche
2 categories for me.
1 - Music I like
2 - Music to DJ with.
Music that falls into both categories generally makes playlists.
Neo new wave… So we just skipped Neo wave completely? What happens when Nu-Neo New Rave becomes Old Skool Nu-Neo New Rave?
Though without doubt my favourite has to be “slow/fast”
Whoever came up with that must have been splitting their sides at getting paid for such a name
How VAGUE can a genre be? That’s like calling a genre “some sounds played together”.
Beatport are so two years ago anyway, I’m currently riding the rising wave of Underwater Egyptian-hop Jazztronicacore, some big names coming up like Imhotep?Noshehotep! and PiPiPiPikkiRikkiTikkiTembo. Watch this space!
so m83 would be considered as glo-fi then?
And what about Nü Neo New Neuer Nova Nueva Wave?
