are there any interesting new genres?

[SuitcaseOfLizards]

I remember death metal polka. Frying pan. And experimental crow!

Where have all the cool genres gone?!?!

+12 thousand for cumbia. Not exactly new, but definitely fresh and worth mentioning. There's some really interesting stuff going on in the digital varieties (plural!).


And related to cumbia, Andes step.

The most exciting newish genre in terms of rhythm is perhaps digital cumbia.

Saw a question about "witch house" some months ago in here - it was not what I thought it was..

[acYm]

Hmm. It's interesting. I was wondering what's been going on down there. Looks like you're kinda screwed if you can't rock a flute or a charango though (or sample worth a damn).

Have to respectfully disagree - just pretended genres didn't exist, browsed Beatport

Hmmm, really cant see how you went wrong there then. :scratches head:

Check out TRUMP

It's a fusion of country and rap, it has another name too.

I don't know if it's a genre (or care) but the recent trend towards using live jamming with modular synths is really cool - seems like a fusion of electronic music with free jazz. Particularly loving anything by Erika

also Bana Haffar, both who I found out about through Moog

and Sarah Davichi who seems more Eliane Radique influenced musically

No idea what 'genre' these are really but who cares?

digital-tunes wasn't much better

that is obviously a bunch of great synthesis, I like playing drones and such sometimes (as much as the next Koreist ) but like I said ambient and experimental just doesn't stay with me, I'm drawn to more movement and energy, dancer at heart.

It's no new genres, but it feels like there has come a new wave of Dubtechno and Tech House the recent years, and with new waves you often have some new character to the music coming with it.
Check out Deepbass, DJ Rum, Dorisburg, Sandra Mosh

[Firebird]

I fondly remember the days when it was pop, jazz and classical...

Oh, so far away and long ago....

They have movement and energy, I work with dancers who dance to this stuff.

OMG, that's the fusion from like 25 years ago!

But, as a matter of reference.........

According to this website, there may be hundreds of new genres just waiting to be explored. Everynoise shows 1300 music genres in a scatterplot (similar ones close together, different ones far apart) with music samples and artists, so just find two you like with little in common (eg death metal and operatic pop) and start decomposing!

might go ahead and make a solipsynthm track, just so I can say I make solipsynthm. "Hey baby, have you ever grooved to the sounds of solipsynthm?" no, seriously, clever name.

tbh I'm a bit of a hater when it comes to this list. I don't know wtf that was that they labeled progressive house, but prog house is an actual dance music genre that sounds good, not fistpump festival trash, no matter what beatport or spotify says about that.
