Good and Bad Genre Names

[Mr. Tea]

I always hoped 'grimstep' would take off for stuff on the borderline between grime and dubstep.

Alternatively, a style of dubstep popular Oop Noarth.

Chill Out, it nearly became a genre with all those horrendous compilations, there was a separate section in the local HMV so I guess it qualifies.

See if they'd called it "Tranquilizer", I'd be much more interested.

Yeah, it'd be great to see compilations called Audio Xanax vol 3 or whatever.

House, garage, funky, drum and bass, dubstep - all shit

Jungle, 2step, techno, grime - all good

It really has to named after a building or part of building tbh.

When my brother and I were kids we recorded a tape of 'shed' music, using the sound recorder function that came free with Windows 95. Well, I say 'music'...

Ketamine Sundays Vol 5.

Ketamine Sundays Vol 5.

Nah, ketamine is at least potentially interesting (if you like that sort of thing), and kind of enjoyably sinister. Your proper white-bread "mellow beats" chillout dreck is definitely more in the valium/xanax mould. Washed down with a glass of really cheap dreadful chardonnay...

 

[muser]

tropical, i kind of like it but it makes no sense to me whatsoever, is it just because their happened to be an option for it on myspace so it got reappropriated?

None worse than "glitch-hop", IMO.

Mind you, what's so awful about it is that it gives away how bad the music is. So maybe it's not bad after all.
