was hyperpop the last new genre? I seriously can't think of a single one after it
i dont like how hyperpop has become the "EDM" for zoomers. not everything electronic is hyperpop..
>>130891091hyperpop was always a meme genre unfortunately
indie sleaze revival
>>130891091ps2 rock band guitar hero algorithm
laptop twee was the new thing last year kickstarted by Worldpeace DMT. Ear and Bassvictim are the biggest bands in the scene now i guess tho The Femcels were the hot shit early this year but these days any attention wares off so quickly that the scene is pretty much over and didnt blew up>>130892778this as the current thing bleeding into pop just as hyperpop did
>>130892778>new genre>revival
>>130891091100 gecs is more digicore, which came after hyperpop. But yea, digicore was the last new genre. I think there are like new strands of guatemalan psychedelic folk or whatever but let's be honest, that's not what people mean when they say new genre
>>130895044well.. kindalike I can tell you the difference between garage rock and garage rock revival idk man stop being so finnicky you girl
>>130895062Splitting hairs between the foundational era vs the revival era is what's finnicky
>>130895088that was easy to convince you
>>130895044it's a movementthey're just making electro house, electropop and neo-electro again
>>130895106electro house is a top 3 genre
Hyperpop sucks, but 100 gecs and SOPHIE are/were good. Vaporware sucks, but Oneohtrix Point Never is good. There is a lesson to be learned, here.
if we go by the 20 year rule then we are having a revival of the mid to late 2000s now, indie sleaze, lap top twee. I suspect bands like animal collective, arcade fire, lcd soundsytem, will be the go to bands to rip offremeber, the late 2000s and early 2010s, back when indie went mainstream, back when arcade fire won the grammy of the year, back when there was a deluge of indie movies that were "quirky", and they all were directed by wes anderson and starred michel cera and zooey deshcanel member the peak of indie land fill, and then p4k gave kanye that 10 and it was over, poptimism had infected the brains of all music critics and p4k started to pretend beyonce and taylor swifts music was important personally, cant wait for the bro step revival in 2032
>>130896083It's curious: the odds that at least some extremely popular music would also (to discerning/eclectic listeners) be actually good music should be non-zero. Some ultra popular mainstream movies are occasionally non-slop. Some of the most popular TV shows have good, artful seasons. Yet pop music (in the past 30 years) seems to never actually be goodWhat's up with that
>>130896148pop music is a disposable product meant to extract wealth from teens, no matter what poptimists think, it will never be more than that
there was actually 2 genres after but im not sharing them because i hate the idea of normoids getting ahold of them and ruining the essence of them like they do with everything else
indie sleaze revival, laptop twee revival, chillwave revival, witchhouse revival, brostep revival, vaporwave revival, seapunk revival, ocean grunge revival reviving vaporwave will be funny, a revival of nostalgia or seapunk, a micro genre that lasted a few weeks and only existed online
>>130896172There's none
>>130896163I do get that, but it still is odd that it's all slop. It's like if every popular movie was a Marvel movie. A lot of popular movies are, for predictable reasons, but what is it about the medium of music
>>130896177>ocean grunge revivalI still don't understand what oceangrunge was. Vaporwave x Witch House?
>>130896246Ocean Grunge is a moody, nihilistic microgenre and aesthetic that emerged around 2014 as a darker evolution of Seapunk. It blends vaporwave, drone, and 90s noise rock to create a distorted, underwater sound. The style leans on bleak, weathered nautical themes, salt-worn harbors, and a muted color palette of blacks, greys, and muted blues.Originating largely as a satirical internet meme on forums like 4chan and Reddit, the aesthetic aimed to sonically capture the feeling of dark, deep-sea desolation. Rather than the bright cyans and neon aquatics of Seapunk, Ocean Grunge thrives on reverbed, slowed-down samples that mimic the sensation of being dragged into a deep, crushing abyss.
Each meaningful new genre of the past ~decade is sparked by a single viral "internet artist" with some very opinionated, totalizing, and coherent aesthetic which can be (sometimes bastardizedly) readily distilled by both listeners and creators. The musical parts are incidental.OPN makes echo jams in a kind of intentionally memey way with an interesting worldbuilding approach, vaporwave spawnsCrystal Castles does their (unintentionally/way too unironically, in more ways than one) memeable aesthetic, witch house spawnsSOPHIE introduced hyperpop but it was missing some of those other factors, which 100 gecs abundantly metWith the "meme power center" slowly shifting from 4chan to Twitter, and with TikTok as a more sloptimized form of music proliferation, it might be a long time before we see a new genre that lasts more than a few years
>>130896505>With the "meme power center" slowly shifting from 4chan to Twittergo to bed elon
>>130896541I despise Twitter and I despise Elon. I'm only speaking descriptively. Unfortunately it's pretty obvious where the ball is rolling. In 10 years 4chan will probably either be offline or irrelevant and Twitter will probably end up serving its old role.Look at all the metrics and the cultural influence shifts. Something Awful was the primary upstream source of internet culture for a long time. Nothing lasts
>>130896619nigga shut the fuck up, there is litterally a billion dollar movie out right now called the back rooms that is based on a 4chan post from /x/, meanwhile twitter is going to get destroyed by elon being a retard who wants your biometric data and congress passing digital ID laws
>>130896652I hope you're right, but I think I'm gonna end up right
