serialism is like a hundred years old

― jmm, Tuesday, 19 December 2017 19:54 (eight years ago)

Yeah well serialism is getting on for 100 years old so I'm assuming they're recycling genre names in both cases. (hah, xpost)

lol ya. weird list

Spotify's 'The Sound of Vintage Swoon' playlist is like 80% culled from a compilation series entitled 'Rare rock and roll tracks of the 50s and 60s'.

The first sentence should be "Not entirely convinced that Glenn Mcdonald didn't just make half of these up, but here we go.".

Jumpstyle still rules

― frogbs, Tuesday, 19 December 2017 20:33 (eight years ago)

Chaotic black metal, distinguishable from your more orderly, sensible black metal

― airdnb (Tom Violence), Tuesday, 19 December 2017 20:58 (eight years ago)

I'm all for serialism being the sound of 2018.

― Frederik B, Tuesday, 19 December 2017 21:10 (eight years ago)

...serialism?

― flappy bird, Wednesday, 20 December 2017 19:08 (eight years ago)

How does chillhop differ from triphop?

Jumpstyle easy

― brimstead, Thursday, 21 December 2017 00:55 (eight years ago)

Wonder what's going on in the world of jumpstyle these days

― brimstead, Thursday, 21 December 2017 00:56 (eight years ago)

Chillhop probably uses trap beats

― brimstead, Thursday, 21 December 2017 00:56 (eight years ago)

Man I hate instrumental trap to such an irrational extent

― brimstead, Thursday, 21 December 2017 00:57 (eight years ago)

I am interested in your future funk and would like to subscribe to your newsletter

Chaotic black metal, distinguishable from your more orderly, sensible black metal

― airdnb (Tom Violence)

similarly, we need "melodic power metal" to differentiate it from the better-known atonal power metal.

D-40 started a great ILM thread on future funk... only to be met by the usual jaded moaning

― brimstead, Thursday, 21 December 2017 03:49 (eight years ago)

I'm surprused 'fluxwork' hasnt made the cut

― the man from P.O.R.L.O.C.K. (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 21 December 2017 09:14 (eight years ago)

Vintage Swoon.

― chap, Thursday, 21 December 2017 09:15 (eight years ago)

No wait judging by their playlists when they talk about Serialism they do actually mean Stockhausen and Boulez.

― Matt DC, Thursday, 21 December 2017 14:03 (eight years ago)

It warms the heart to see Jute Gyte on a playlist with 400 followers.

― Simon H., Thursday, 21 December 2017 14:11 (eight years ago)

2018 will be annus mirabilis for 'cryptic black metal'

― the man from P.O.R.L.O.C.K. (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 21 December 2017 18:20 (eight years ago)
