I was just browsing through some sounds made by a (pretty decent, tbf) sample label which some of you will know, and stumbled across one of their new releases named "Dungeon Techno":
https://www.undrgrndsounds.com/collecti ... eon-techno
Now it's possible that UndrgrndSounds have just made up this new sub genre - but it appears from that website and elsewhere that Dungeon Techno is indeed a 'thing'...
Which got me thinking not only about how sonically it might differ from other possible sub-genres such as Torture Room Techno and Medieval Fetish Techno.
But also, do you have to own a dungeon to make this music (which gives vurt a headstart already
) or maybe you have to dance around with wild abandon in an actual dungeon, if you can find one, to be a true member of the scene?I digress...
At 41 years old, a lot of these new (and possibly fleetingly invented) sub genres are an utter mystery to me now.
This is perhaps a good thing.
And so, are there any perculiar or amusing genre / sub genre names which also make you think WTF??
(Or are there any sub genres that you think the world is somehow missing out on currently and desperately needs?).
Cheers,
