Math Rock

[Kane Knight]

Yuo strike me as a dubstep fiend, Gertie.

[Gertner]

I'm gonna wait the eventual "all dance music is a random clusterfuck of shit" but dubstep is a random clusterfuck of shit. I'm into trance and hou.....you know what, forget it, I'm just delaying the inevitable flamming lol

[Kane Knight]

Actually, I'd say you're cultivating your inevitable flaming.

[Gertner]

I give the people what they want

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Cowpunk

Thus further proof that you are a slack-jawed imbecile.

[Good News Gertie]

I hope they all are in the same plane crash

[Gertner]

I love LMFAO :(

[Kane Knight]

"Post" is latin for "pretentious shit," so it fits.

[Gertner]

I'm into PostNeoCore

[Buzzkill]

Cuddlecore

[Buzzkill]

Nu Skool Breaks

[Kane Knight]

Cuddlecore

That's the gayest thing I've ever heard. And I have heard some pretty gay shit.

[FakeLaser]

I think "post" has its place, if not applied absurdly. "Post-punk" is very much a viable genre, for instance.

[Swiss Ultimate]

New age, contemporary jazz, opera, Ke$ha.

[parkmania]

Filk

The term is a joke, and every bit as much a catch-all as "Nu Metal."

New age, contemporary jazz, opera, Ke$ha.

Ke$ha isn't even music.

[D Mac]

How about Emo?

[Juan]

Are we talking about genres we don't like or genre names that are stupid?

[dronepool]

Reggaeton

[Buzzkill]

Forge your own path here, Juan

Ke$ha isn't even music.
What makes it a joke? It's describing music that is influenced by a particular genre or movement but has evolved in some way; yet clearly has its roots in a previously existing genre. It's post by definition.

In the same sense that "nu" metal is a new form of metal.

[FakeLaser]

The music sucks as a whole but the name makes sense.

[St. Jimmy]

i second ever "core" genre after hardcore and post-hardcore. most forms of "metal" too can eat the asshole.

Most basic metal genres are quite distinct and help you to identify if its something you may have an interest in. Power, Trash, Death and Black are all very distinct from each other.

[Kane Knight]

Watch what you say about my post-punk acts. :rant:

Yes, but he didn't say "basic," did he? The majority of metal subgenres are not "basic," and range from stupidly specific to "so generic as to be completely meaningless." And in both cases, tend to be pretty fickle.

I meant nu-metal

I love post punk

Tell that to metalfags.

You suck as a whole. :foc:

Case in point

[D Mac]

Go back to your stupid obscure bullshit nobody cares about.

[FakeLaser]

I forgot a lot of people care about "Five Finger Death Punch"

[D Mac]

They do

[FakeLaser]

Alright

[D Mac]

Ok then :p

[FakeLaser]

No but they really don't

[Buzzkill]

Also, apparently most of my favorite music is classified as shoegaze. Don't know what the eff that means but I hate it.

My Morning Jacket and M83 have nothing in common, but they are both described as "shoegaze" by the professional bullshitters at Slant Magazine

[FakeLaser]

Neither of them are shoegaze

Shoegaze are late 80s/90s guitar driven bands that are loud as fuck, distorted and droney. They're shoegaze because there is no emphasis on performance. Most bands would just stand there and stare at their shoes the whole time, and not look at the crowd. Noise bands, sort of, more melodic though.

My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain, Slowdive... that kinda thing. No Joy is an example of a modern shoegaze band.

My Morning Jacket is definitely not shoegaze. I dunno what I'd really call them other than just indie rock/pop. M83 is pretty much just electro. Maybe he's influenced by the whole "wall of sound" deal most shoegaze bands have going on, but it ends there.

BTW, feeling the new M83 a lot now

[Buzzkill]

D Mac's "Special" even amidst metalfags.

Tens of people. I accept your apology.

"Shoegaze" developed as a term due to heavy use of pedals, ergo the guitarists were usually looking down. On top of stiff, immobile performances, which was already mentioned.

But hey, the way you stand or your use of pedals in live performance is totally a legit way to define a music genre.

Pretty much my whole college class. :-\

[Buzzkill]

Really happy with the success of this thread by the way

[ron the dial]

i should really spend more time worrying about the classification of the music that i listen to. seems super important.

[Buzzkill]

I was suggesting the exact opposite when I made the thread, tho it did get pretty feisty I have to admit

[Kane Knight]

If it doesn't keep you up at night, you're not really human.

[DrA]

I believe that the Bullshit Music Genres just haven't found the right musicians to play their music.

[Mooияakeя™]

Best genre in a while:

Best genre in a while:

http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpm89sZxdI1qzci65o1_500.jpgNirvana. overexposed, even in bullshit genres.

BTW, feeling the new M83 a lot now

M83 is apparently dream pop / ethereal pop. It really ain't the last one. Listen to Utada Hikaru's Passion (Japanese version) or Sanctuary (English version) for a true dream pop / ethereal pop sound (if your going on genres)

[Good News Gertie]

shoegaze is not ethereal or dream pop.

[Kapoutman]

That's why I stopped putting my MP3s in folders according to their genre a long time ago. They're all in alphabetical order in a big "music" folder now.

[Mooияakeя™]

Good god there is a "post-dubstep"

[FakeLaser]

That didn't take long

[FakeLaser]

VHS Dream is considered post-chillwave

[Indifferent Clox]

http://m.pitchfork.com/features/articles/8721-maximal-nation/

[Kane Knight]

Did someone learn something other than "wub wub wub?"

[Buzzkill]

Something I'm surprised hasn't been brought up yet is...under whose authority is say, VHS Dream, "post-chillwave"?

Some guy who works as a music critic who just decided to coin a new term? Then it gets accepted as canon?

[Ice Cream Bar]

World Wrestling Federation entrance themes

[DrA]

Most of those are just rock though.

[Ice Cream Bar]

I dont think so dude, of all the themes less than 1% were his

[Indifferent Clox]

Buzkill: That'd how most terms are come up with - the media that covers it.

[Mike Honcho]

I hate how Djent has become a genre, it's just a picking style!

[Buzzkill]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electronic_music_genres

Seriously look at that bullshit. 90% of those are totally Bullshit Music Genres

[GD]

American radio pop music in general.

[Hornicane]

Anything with more than one hyphen. "Post-industrial-grindcore" or whatever the fuck these things are.

[Kane Knight]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electronic_music_genres

Much like electronic itself. What's the problem?

[Buzzkill]

That is not the point. I like a lot of "electronic music". The point is that those are 99% bullshit genres created by self important assholes who feel like coining new genres.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Techno /end thread.

[Kane Knight]

That is not the point. I like a lot of "electronic music".

That was also not the point. You will note I did not say "electronic music sucks," though I do honestly think it does. That wasn't where I was going, and I'm pretty sure a clever boy knew that before he sought to lecture me as such.

[Gertner]

Folk music.

[asphyXy]

If I were to record a rap album, it would be "post-metal", because it is after recording a metal album.

[Malfeitor]

Nintendocore.

HORSE The Band is good.

[FakeLaser]

Nintendocore can be used to describe 40% of the content of 100,000 Replies

[Kane Knight]

Proving how gay 100,000 replies is.
