list 'em. can either be a hybrid or something totally new. make an attempt to explain it.

here's mine : Disco industrial reggae. i wish i could tell you what that might sound like-- perhaps dub with a funkier beat and synths while a heavily distorted voice screams and a hammer pounds hot steel in time with the snare???

Dance music that is not 4/4 (3/4 is danceable, though it's a little bit tricky to get a good groove going).

2. Thrashgrass

Waltz?

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 28 December 2003 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, sorry, you meant "real" dance music, not this old "traditional" crap

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 28 December 2003 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

;)

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 28 December 2003 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

5/4 dance music is more natural to me than 4/4, esp. if it has that "Mission Impossible" pulse (DUN-dun-dun-DUN-dun-dun-DUN-dun-DUN-dun)

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 28 December 2003 19:06 (twenty-one years ago)

dj's who spin all waltz all the time.

huh? half of these exist! you can make perfectly danceable dance music without it being 4/4 OR 3/4. check out schaffel, for instance -- nowhere NEAR 4/4

"Has there ever been any country music-influenced prog-rock?"

Bela Fleck?

He's not exactly 'No Depression' matierial, but the guy does play the banjo. I suppose the word "rock", would be questionable.

Island Ska, like Hawaiin stuff with Ukuleles.

― Dante-Cubed (Sean3), Wednesday, 31 December 2003 01:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Aja, Black Industrial Underground Jazz already exists. It's called the blues.

"gangsta folk" was suggested upthread; I believe John Wesley Harding called his band "Gangsta Folk All-Stars" at one time.

Pointless anecdote: Some time ago, I was editing a magazine to which someone submitted a record review (odd enough because said magazine had never published a record review).

It began with words to the effect that "The problem with most vegan hardcore bands is that they focus on the message so much that the music suffers." Odd enough that "vegan hardcore" was genre to begin with; still odder that it was a large enough sample to make generalizations about.

So I wrote back asking whether in addition to vegan hardcore, there were bands that do macrobiotic disco, carnivorous reggae, ovo-lacto-vegetarian soul, fruitarian polkas....

― The Mad Puffin, Thursday, 23 June 2005 12:23 (twenty years ago)

Chemo. (Chemical Emo)

It'd probably sound something like Jamie Stewart purging his soul over tracks like Vitalic's "La Rock" and DP's "Rollin' & Scratchin'" (and some of the tougher late-80s/early 90s acid trax).
