New Fake Music Genres

Had this silly idea, so might as well.

You can share a thought up music genre here. Add a short description about the specifics that make up the genre, so, unique features, such as tempo, sound-design, sound characteristics etc.

If you want to, you can try to create these in the studio of course.

Eg.: Neuronoise D'n'B - Is a subgenre of neurofunk, heavily utilizing noise elements in its sound-design. It aims to create atmosphere and heavy drops using non-standard tonality, harmony and heavily processed field recordings and/or noisy synthesized sounds.

Have fun.

  • This is something Former has made a playlist of. I wouldn't say it's a genre, but perhaps a production style. I only have a vague definition myself and the term in my own playlist includes tracks from several genres. Here's how I'd define it.

    "Mecha Ballad" - a style heavily utilizing robot-like vocals, either through voice synthesis (vocaloids) or heavy vocal manipulation that makes them sound artificial (vocoders, pitch shifting, hard autotune). This artificial singing is then combined with a slow, brooding instrumental carrying a sense of melancholy and some sense of darkness. It may be beatless, or including a slow beat. It may also combine real instruments with futuristic sounds, older, ethnic or alternative tuning systems or scales, more evolving and non-linear structure.

    Examples:

    Former - True Overfiend

    Former - Shadow Convoy

    Former - White Field

    Former - i know where to go

    Former & Posij - Blue Flesh

    Former - Always Smiling Mouth

    Former - Edge Mecha

    Noisia & Former - Cleansing / Pleasure Model

    MAERE - Contrasts EP

    deadmau5 - Sleepless

    deadmau5 - Monday

    ...

    More distantly:

    Billain - Different Eyes

    deadmau5 - Nyquist

    deadmau5 - Rlyehs Lament

    Maenad Veyl - Bleak

    • I love this style, and I'm planning on creating something similar to it myself.

  • BBCcore

    • define "turbulence"

    • trap with extra turbulence

  • rarematic phonk: a mix of rare phonk and rawmatic phonk elements:

    rare phonk: drums & fx

    rawmatic phonk: maybe the snare, sample, also mixing

    (listen to both genres to really get an idea of how this would sound)

    • oh yeah also rawmatic bass so just layer a bunch of long sustained 808s and dr-660 basses on top of each other

    • there is no one tempo you have to make it in also, just as long as it's from 112-187 bpm

  • bootycore

  • bellycore

    • A comment on a SoundCloud track from this genre: "A true gurgler, this one!"

  • Webcore- Basically music composed completely or mainly of internet memes or sounds. From software sounds, to clips of popular Vines, etc

    • ts just goofy ahh beats from the early 2020s

    • Webcore is already a visual aesthetic, connected to vaporwave and old internet culture though. Don't know how much of an overlap in music there is and whether a genre with these characteristics has already been defined. Dariacore is partially made of such elements already.

    • In your case we may even have a "culture" or scene built around it, so... Could be a real thing.

  • lofi but its like futre bass

    • sooo basically just future bass with a goofy piano sample & vinyl noise in the background?

  • *Melancholic death-hop*

    Basically just lofi hip-hop with metal vocals. The beats are usually very emotional, slow, nostalgic and melancholic with quiet death or black metal vocals/scream or growl techniques of many kinds. Utilizes a lot of reverb and keyboard or piano playing. It takes inspiration from atmospheric metal genres, blackgaze and even DSBM.

  • Although there are specific distinctions to the 2 genres future bass and melodic dubstep sometimes sound very similar. I've once heard the term "future melodic" and even though it may sound a bit silly and broad, I think several tracks fit that description better than either future bass or melodic dubstep.

    • i think they call that "melodic bass"

  • This style or subgenre technically already exists and comes from the strange crossover of people who made digicore/dariacore and hyperpop and now create shoegaze and other rock genres now. Who comes to mind is Jane Remover and quannnic. I can't remember the channel that came up with the genre, but they named it zoomergaze. I found zoomergaze sounds a bit silly, therefore, I propose a few other names for the genre: screengaze or digigaze. For a more inclusive/umbrella term, I suggest: digirock.

    • i know exactly what channel ur talking about. ppl label everything and anything with gaze or core though so if it already exists u can still make it ur own js becuase of how expanisive it all is ..

  • speedswarm, which is just a random genre i made up that's just experimental rawness where everything has a sudden speed to it, with lots of panning and then random stops and slowness before it speeds itself up again idk lol

    • You know what would be crazy? If this genre had a strong live performance aspect to it. Like an extremely demanding and super confusing performance with actually very strictly defined guidelines for the tracks or even strict music notation lmao.

    • Not entirely sure how that would translate into music, but I get it. Actually has some interesting implications.
