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.

Vocal Trap
Trap but all the samples, the melodys and any sound, is done with ur vocals.
'Nother one (might already be a completely different thing, but eh):
Speedstep - a subgenre of Dubstep combining the Brostep style with Speedcore, Drum'n'bass and glitch elements. It is usually in the range of 300 to 600 BPM with kicks and snares placed where it would hit relatively regularly in halftime, or in this case, double to quadruple-halftime (every 2nd to 4th bar) while other percussion elements and basses follow a much more rapid tempo.
ear-rape
Perhaps. But some oddball like me might enjoy it.
UPPERCASE (alternatively: "CAPS LOCK"): is a subgenre of noise music and ambient lowercase music that uses field recordings and quiet sounds that are used in lowercase, but these sounds are then heavily processed, distorted and amplified. It aims to create harsh atmospheres, but may use tonal elements to create a more serene feel. Tempos are usually slower in nature, but not specifically defined, due to the live/performance aspect of the genre.
that's called acapella, correct me if I'm wrong. or beat boxing
nah like even the snares 808s wit ur voice
so beat boxing
Cognitive Alignment Initialization (CAI):
Any sort of music that is designed purely to force an emotional state onto someone, often-times combined with a strong urge to do something such as sleep or do homework. Also should be able to cut off extraneous mental functions and boost other functions, for example: replacing the ability to feel emotions with the ability to double your multitasking power or make you able to excel in things you'd normally be a failure in (of course, this "overclocking/alignment" would be temporary, lasting until there is no more music).
Cognitive Alignment Perpetuation (CAP):
Any sort of music that is able to keep a cognitive alignment active, no matter what the alignment is. Well, perhaps there would be a specific "polarity", but whatever.
I really hope people try this out, see if they can musically rebalance the brains of listeners to enable special effects such as the removal of stress or the boosting of mental work capacity. If this turns out to be possible, the world might see another scientific revolution of some kind. By the way, it is likely to be hard to do. There is a mental state I call a "productivity trance" and it is induced musically. It is a bit hard to find music that causes it, however some artists here have unintentionally mastered the art of this sort of inducement, such as Call Me Lito and Snadbrugen.
gothic dnb... need i say anymore
so uhh... dnb with cinematic medieval choirs? Beause that sounds awesome.
I like the idea. There's a lot you can do with music and it certainly has impact on your mental state, no matter whether you want to or not. Still, focus and productivity are a very complex phenomenon, and it differs from person to person, so yeah it would be difficult. I think there's some truth to this and could be scientifically justified much more than for example the so-and-so Hz healing music. As far as I know there's quite some research done on this topic and would be interesting to delve into. As said though, cognitive processes are complex and it wouldn't be a 100% all-in-one solution imho. Combining initiation of some mental state like this with some physical activity could help a lot though.
Sounds like a nice idea.
yes... dnb with cinematic mediaeval choirs. synths maybe too. sounds tuff
kinda already what i do half the time anyway
boy do I have the track for you

listening currently
Derangedcore
Basically a subgenre of hardcore that is absolutely psychotic and sounds like a musician just had a massive mental breakdown. So many elements going off at once and following some strange and absolutely chaotic rhythm, as if someone put a piano in the worst part of the worst psych ward in the world. If people actually start trying to make songs that fall under this category, we'd probably be in for a ride of a lifetime.
diarrhea core, i just took a monster shit on the beat
real
Apparently it stylistically exists already.
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
wdym
Not entirely sure how that would translate into music, but I get it. Actually has some interesting implications.
Listening to deadmau5 unlocks that for me, currently. What works about it is the upbeat character, general lack of strong complexity and timbrally a very gradually evolving structure. Vocals are a no-go though, so are strong emotions like melancholy. It also helps if you know the tracks, but aren't too bored of them. You know what to exprect, so it doesn't steal your concentration too much.
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.
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 ..
Boutta start doing heavy research on brain waves and how to make music using them
I have entertained this idea before actually. It hard, but with the right mixing and mastering its possible
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"
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.
lofi but its like futre bass
Webcore- Basically music composed completely or mainly of internet memes or sounds. From software sounds, to clips of popular Vines, etc
In your case we may even have a "culture" or scene built around it, so... Could be a real thing.
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.
bellycore
bootycore
With a lot of bounce I presume
A comment on a SoundCloud track from this genre: "A true gurgler, this one!"
and very wide stereo
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)
there is no one tempo you have to make it in also, just as long as it's from 112-187 bpm
sooo basically just future bass with a goofy piano sample & vinyl noise in the background?
BBCcore
trap with extra turbulence
oh yeah also rawmatic bass so just layer a bunch of long sustained 808s and dr-660 basses on top of each other
define "turbulence"
SuperDrill
kinda like this https://www.audiotool.com/track/1gth13k6x3kf/
I do not hear how the track is drill, let alone super. Would make more sense if you specified the characteristics.
Like it's a mixture of supertrap and drill!
That makes more sense now. I like the implications.
thx
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.
Nuclear breakcore
Certainly...
And what would the parameters be?
uses different sounds from all of the nuclear accidents, explosions, fire, etc.
Jesus Christ
hey, its an idea
or you could make it a bit more cinematic - in order to capture how the nuclear events felt
something with the melody of that one song about war, that had the same rhythm as different people speaking about war(but this time for nuclear stuff), i cant remember that song but something like this, plus chopped up amen break
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp3BlFZWJNA - i recommend only listening to this if you're very emotionally stable. It's exactly how I'd expect something from that kind of topic to sound.
There is no other way to represent war musically. I'd never make a track about cruel bombs that could ever put that shit in any idealized light.
I've heard this. Give me a minute to show you what I was talking about.

Steve Reich is really cool
Indeed
ts just goofy ahh beats from the early 2020s
ambister
uses ambient sounds but Bsterthegawd sounds!!
soo.... bster-type ambient sounds as the sample and fx w/ bster drums?
if thats how you interpert it then yeah
sounds kind of like phonk
???
