There are only so many different ways to arrange notes and so many different sounds to apply to them in a manner that appeals to enough people to catch on as a distinct genre. It's possible that we've simply hit that limit.

I'm a Millennial but I do sometimes think we had the least creative generation lol. The best thing we came up with IMO was the whole DIY beats culture thing around 2010-13. Some of the LA beats shit was sick too but that got kinda old quick. Clams Casino, Shlohmo, etc was a really cool moment in Millennial music history

Millennials didn't create most major music genres from scratch, but artists from that generation were central to creating, defining, or popularizing several newer genres and subgenres that emerged from the late 1990s through the 2010s.

Some notable examples include:

Genres and subgenres strongly associated with Millennials
Dubstep (especially the modern, aggressive "brostep" style)
Artists like Skrillex helped redefine the genre in the early 2010s.
Future Bass
Popularized by artists such as Flume and San Holo.
Hyperpop
Cloud Rap
Associated with artists such as Lil B and Yung Lean.
Vaporwave
An internet-born genre that emerged around 2010 through Millennial online communities.
Witch House
An experimental electronic style that gained attention around 2009–2012.
Chillwave
A nostalgic, lo-fi electronic style from the late 2000s.
Trap EDM
Distinguished from hip-hop trap by applying trap rhythms to electronic dance music.
Genres Millennials reshaped

Many genres existed before Millennials but were transformed by Millennial artists:

Metalcore
Deathcore
Post-hardcore
Progressive Metal (modern "djent"-influenced era)
Trap music
Bedroom Pop

Millennials were also instrumental in creating or popularizing many internet-native styles, including:

Synthwave (modern revival)
Lo-fi Hip Hop
Future Garage
Complextro
Nightcore (as an internet phenomenon rather than its earliest origins)

It's worth noting that music genres rarely have a single creator or belong to one generation. Most develop gradually through the work of many artists across age groups. Millennials' distinctive contribution was less about inventing entirely new musical traditions from nothing and more about creating and spreading internet-driven, digitally produced genres that became influential during the 2000s and 2010s. I might be wrong about assigning a specific genre to a single generation, because these developments often overlap between late Generation X artists and early Generation Z artists.

Yeah, for example, a lot of good indie rock happened in the 00s, but it wasn't really a new genre.
It was a mishmash of past influences adapted to a modernised sound. They continued to apply the genre hybridisation recipe that led to the emergence of grunge/alt-rock, but now applied to even more exotic genres like world music, punk, new wave, garage.

And they managed to get new sounds out of it. Like Vampire Weekend didn't really sound 100% like Paul Simon. It sounded more like Paul Simon put through a punkish/new-wave filter and sung with a stom-clap-hey liveliness.

literally explained by the fact that time is a spectrum and scenes don't begin and end with hard generational cut offs. People don't suddenly realise they're one generation or the other and break apart a scene for that reason. fully agreed btw.

I've replied to you the 3rd time but like literally even if they didn't invent the genre
Night Lovell, Corbin, Edward Skeletrix (Cight back then), Misogi and BLVC SVND were all teenage Zoomers who were in the early Cloud Rap wave as early as 2013 for all of them. Hell even Johnnascus (of Spider Gang fame) put out a mixtape in 2014. It's the type of shit no one knows and blows a part the conventional narratives. All the credit belongs to Millennials (Friendzone, Clams Casino, Yung Gud, Clams Casino etc) but again it's the shit people don't realise.

>Has Gen Z created a new genre?

No one won. No one lost. That's it. Fags are acting uppity and that's it.

No one has created a new genre of anything worthwhile since like 1989 or 1990. Sorry not sorry.

Cascadian Black Metal sounds pretty distinct from most USBM and their fanbase was decidedly Millennial especially all the hipsters who binged on BrooklynVegan and Vice. The True Metal underground who mostly consisted of aging and terminally irate Xers loathed that stuff. DSBM may have been started by Xers but it found a much bigger audience with Millennials especially those who'd later forge Blackgaze.

Prior to those scenes, USBM was mostly just imitating what their European counterparts were doing with some exceptions namely Grand Belial's Key who were no stranger to classic Heavy Metal influences. I Shalt Become also sounded very distinct from Burzum who they took inspiration from. Others like Nosvrolok, Absu, Krieg, Demonic Christ and Ritual (California), while good, still sounded too connected to their European counterparts.
>>
>>130798518
Should also mention Xasthur and Leviathan. Both bands are praised as pioneers but, to me, they were always mediocre at best.

North American War Metal, on the other hand, was always much more interesting. That was Xer, though.
>>
Fuck me for forgetting Profanatica and Havohej. Xer as fuck but highly influential to early USBM. Cartoonishly blasphemous, too.

Point of all this is to highlight the distinct difference between American Millennial Black Metal and Xer USBM.
>>
>>130795284
lol no
>>
>>130795284
>HexD

is that really a genre or just a mishmash of styles that had existed for years, like chiptunes' bitcrushing or nightcore's sped up version of everything.
Seems more like syncretism than a new genre, which is in line with zoomers' tendency to create more and more crossover styles and blends of everything before. It doesn't necessarily lead to a new genre just this digital soup of styles that had already existed, but hijacked for different purposes.

Ig you could call that hexxing, but is it really a genre or a technique of screwing the sound, much like vaporwave did with samples?
>>
>>130789529
I saw some guy on YouTube claim JPEG mafia invented Vaporwave with the Devon Hendrx album, never had I felt more disappointed in humanity
