creating new genres is not hard, the problems is that the ones that try to do it arent musicians and so cant make examples of the genres he created
>>48159727
vaporwave was 2012... memerap is kind of 2013 but also was kind of a thing before hand... it just saw it popularized with the sad boys
>>48159804
I'm on some next level shit but I suck at executing it so I'm going to hold off until I've mastered it more.

it's funny how genres are called only based off their cover art style
Witch House had the best covers
>>48159956
all that shit is from last year
Vaporwave was 2012. I remember seeing constant posts about it and trying to figure out if they people were misspelling vaporware.
1- A guy create a fake genre and problably post covers and post info/stuff here
2-Some guys ask examples and some people post stuff from previously existing genres that make them think of what op is saying
3-After some time, some see those examples and post similar albums to the songs they see
4-Time pass, and some like those songs people are postng and decides to make similar stuff. Their stuff ends posted on threads and fits on previously existing genres.
5-After some amount of time those guys songs are posted more then previous examples.
6-Some guys see those examples and try to copycat them, they are copying guys that copyed songs that people said it was from the fake genre. People start to follow cliches the artists of step 4 saw on the songs on step 2.
7-Now you have guys that focused on cliches.
8-With new artists seeing the artists of step 7 and following their mess, a new and real genre start to follow

Something between The Smiths, Talking Heads, Tears for Fears and Joy Division will BURST outta nowhere and take control.
Also guys, genuine question - when will hip hop lose it's place as the most popular genre? I mean, it's obviously a fad. Like new wave, disco, pop-punk.

>>48163475
sure - but I'm talking about on the top, burning charts.
pop punk was going strong in the 70s/80s too, but then it was watered down into late 90's/early 00's sk8/pop punk. then it was saturated and died in the mid 00's. It's still going, but not on the radio.
>>48159890
chillwave and witch house had some good shit. not acknowledging memerap as a thing.
what the fuck was seapunk?
>>48163683
a genre that drew on 90s house and ocean stuff. aesthetically similar to vaporwave, I think, but with more dolphins
>>48159827
>>48160528
>>48160563
what the fuck
>>48162723
i'm so down for this
>>48163166
I mean it's still like everywhere I go on the internet pretty frequently. not the music, but in pictures and such. not like it used to be but people still interested in it, much more so than say witch house, or seapunk
>>48163565
what genres aren't saturated anymore though? I mean honestly.
>>48159827

Tell me some Seapunk and Lolicore essentials!
whenever i think of seapunk, i think of this song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uNYg98YTNI
>>48159890
Vaporwave is the only one of those genres that produced artistically valid music (namely the works of Dan Lopatin).
A lot of great works like Person Pitch have been retroactively classified as chillwave. As a genre itself it is still worth recognizing but not as much as vaporwave.
Witch house is good too.
>>48162723
>ironic
fucking stop you teenager
this thread gave me aids
>>48164096
I'm not that into seapunk, but lolicore essentials really depends on your taste. it can range from speed/splittercore to extratone, breakcore, grind, ambient, etc.
Goreshit is a staple of lolicore, doing breaks and speed mostly, but with some more ambient works
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Z9SbmIflWU
there's also people like japshitfun, who are a bit more harsh
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuTsBkkP97E
For a p good variety of styles within lolicore, you could check out the lolicore nation album:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkrrLgMDwpM
As for seapunk, I'm not well versed, so I asked a friend. He recommends Coven and anything from Coral Records
>>48164536
I done goofed, Coven is witch house. You should still check them out tho
>>48164536
>coven
coven is witch house, not seapunk
source: im coven
>>48164704
mah nigga
>>48164536
Wow an actual reply, thanks! Well from the stuff you posted i realized that lolicore isn't my taste. I remember reading about it consisting of loli-rape-hentai soundsamples and stuff, which sounds way more interesting than it actually sounds like.
And I can't seem to find anything about Coven... Maybe >>48164704 can help? Cuz I love me some witch house
>>48164868
http://covenmusic.bandcamp.com/ there you go bruh
>>48164868
yeah, I've heard lolicore described as ammature breakcore, but I think that's kinda the point.

2014 is the year of Synthwave.
Synthwave grew a ton in 2013 and it's only gotten bigger in 2014. Artists like Perturbator and Com Truise have become popular even in parts of the "mainstream" EDM community.
Some people write it off as nothing but more 80s nostalgia, but it's sure as hell refreshing to listen to compared to all of the shitty wubwub and trap EDM garbage that's dominated electronic music for the past several years.
>>48168976
com truise is chillwave
his peak has come and gone
>>48168901
Lead singer is waifu material.
>>48163529
Its like how Christians call atheists fedoras to discredit them, people don't don't like hip hop say memerap
>>48168976
Perturbator ist really cool, thanks
>>48168976
What was that synthwave(synthpop album with the artwork that features a panther or something, with pink an everything? Anyone?

You say neo-grunge and I think of these guys.

OBVIOUSLY FRINGEWAVE
Synthwave is fucking great. There's a good amount of variety in the scene too. You've got high tempo upbeat stuff, slow atmospheric stuff, etc. Some artists are dedicated to sounding as authentically 80s as possible while others freely make use of more modern sounds and production techniques. The genre isn't full of rigid rules about sound and aesthetic.
I think the biggest reason it hasn't gained the kind of viral attention that vaporwave did is because it's synthwave artists and fans genuinely like the music, they don't do it "ironically" for hipster cred and Tumblr reblogs.
>>48168976
I fuckin' love Com Truise
>>48169086
>>48172885
Hey can you rec some albums? High tempo, slow, and authentic 80s sounding all sound cool.
we need more meme genres

Broporwave is slowly turning into future funk which might have some traction in 2014/15. Also has some parallels to Synthwave

>>48159890
Chillwave produced fucking person pitch
>>48159727
2014: Dead rap like bones and xavier wolf
>>48159727
2014: bubblegum bass
its the next genre thats on the fridge of popularity, spurred by sophie's bipp
I wish Metro-Ko was a thing that caught on for a little longer.
>>48161503
what genre is mac plus?
>>48163252
you mean like the horrors?
>>48176045
It doesn't fall into this, since the 80s synth stuff isn't hipster meme shit. It's not garbage people pretend to like, unlike vaporwave.
>>48162641
Within and Without was released in 2011. Com Truise released something pretty recently. I don't think you can say it stopped at the end of 2009, it's just that the initial boom stopped and it sort of started creating releases at the rate of a normal subgenre, akin to dream pop.
OP here
Damn this thread is still alive? How awesome is that?
Thanks to everyone who recommended synthwave, didnt't knew it existed but it's cool as hell, especially Perturbator and Mega Drive.
Let's pray synthwave doesn't get the new hipster fad
