A study by microsoft showed that attention spans have dropped from 12 seconds in 2000, to 8 seconds now. They suggest this is because of smart phones, social media and the like.

This dual requirement for novelty and economy of information (6 second videos, 140 characters, etc.) could explain the rise in popularity of what I'd call the "sample snippet" genres- footwork, baltimore/jersey club, litefeet, flex, etc. in which small pieces of information are rapidly fired at the listener.

Ironically these genres that appeal to our post-social media cognition were not born on the internet, but rather in localised scenes.

Conversely internet music is slow and drawn out. It's almost as if the internet is trying to nullify its own hyperactivity.

the internet wants your body

porn sites (which is still the most popular stuff on the net) at least

the porniness of guys like ty dolla sign or the dream etc makes them post-net-porn artists to me

i was thinking of something like onehotrix point never, who im semi-interested in, but also find a bit irritating and effervescent. his music seems to fit both your templates - "in which small pieces of information are rapidly fired at the listener" but also "slow and drawn out."

Very interesting idea of having both dualities in one music. I'll have to give him more than the cursory listen I've given him in the past. Incidentally he pioneered vaporwave under his alias Chuck Person with the Eccojams album.

maybe not rapidly. but the stuff ive heard did seem like lots of disparate bits of info delivered in a slow burning, disconnected sort of way.

A bit more vogue house.



Corpsey, the second one has some tracks you might quite like considering you're a big UK Funky fan.

I've been liking this EndgamE track for awhile, didn't realize Purple Tape Pedigree was a thing.
