Tolkein black metal, tolkein black metal is the most obscure musical genre.

I'm just kidding of course, the most obscure genre is probably something like stoner metal dreampop fusion or some experiment from some methed up NY kids.

By definition, there is no "most obscure" genre but I have a brief list of possible contenders:

Buttpunk, Neo-Wave, Clean Air, Non-Euclidean Soundscapes, Space Hymns, Off-Brand Pop, Smells

Just to name a few.

Buttpunk is basically bands that used to be punk but now have crossed-over with buttrock, i.e. stuff like Rise Against, The Offspring, basically any "punk" bands that get radio play on buttrock music stations

>>48944435
i still don't exactly know what buttrock is. are butthole surfers buttrock?

>>48944168

The rarity of something doesn't depend on who owns it. If Tom Cruise owned a 3 headed cat,it wouldn't make the cat any less obscure.

Besides, most of this thread is just gimmick bullshit. A band must actually have a modicum of credibility before you can label a new genre on it.

There's a million talentless cunts producing horseshit in their basements just to try and draw attention to the new "genre" they've created.

Sorry, but those don't count.

A lot of "academic" type stuff, actually. For instance, there's an album by a percussion ensemble called Kroumata where they do a piece called "Schlagmusik II." If you google it, you'll find almost nothing about it.

Nope. They fucking don't count.

Just because you force 2 existing genres together doesn't make a new genre son.

There has to be some credibility there, some value. It has to gain a level of wider acceptance and have people endorse it, before you call say it's a new genre.
>>
>>48944897
Do you have any links?

>>48944493
Listen to bands like Buckcherry and Five Finger Death Punch and you'll get an exact idea on what buttrock is
