Isn't there another thread exactly like this one?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 10:09 (twenty years ago) link

Probably. I've just googled and krauthop and ambient metal exist, why wasn't I told?

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Tuesday, 18 November 2003 10:23 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, I invented Krauthop in 1996, so if anyone is using it post then, they owe me money!

All right then!!!!!!!!

Microskiffle!!!!!!!! (Skiffle done with granular synthesis!!!!!)
Gabberfolk!!!!!! (About 20 folky types jumping up and down in Doc Martens on a hard wood floor, in unision, pausing occasionally to shout "F@£% YOUR MOTHER!!!!"!!!!!!)
Heavy Acappela!!!!! (All those buffoons who go "deeoww, deooww, neeeaaoow, etc" and do air guitar to those lovely guitar solos on 80s hair metal- stuck in one room, doing heavy metal guitar solos- in harmony!!!!!!!)
Venga-Cohen!!!!! (A great new pop genre where you write a really heavy metaphysical song like Leonard Cohen, and play and sing it in the style of tha Vengaboys!!!!!)
Erm, I'm out of ideas!!!!!!!

Regarding some of the genres above: some of them already exist!!!!!

Celt-hop- if you listen to some of those funny shows on Radio Scotland in tha afternoon, virtually of the new "folk" tunes start sounding like some coffee table hip-hop before going into the fiddly-iddly-idely-oh bits without warning!!!!!
Symphonic hip-hop- wot about Massive Attack's "Unfinished Sympathy"?!?!?
Bed rock- maybe that's wot we should call Belle & Sebastian!!!!!!!

"virtually of the new" = "virtually all of the new"

goth funk!

It exists!

i remember when I first read about Razed in Black, I almost pissed my pants because the idea of a goth band from hawaii just makes my day. I was hoping they'd mix dark industrial with surf rock. needless to say i was disappointed when i actually heard their music.

In the next two or three years someone is going to label SOMETHING "Dreamo"

Melissa has flirted with the idea of forming a "harp punk" band with me. I dig that.

I had this idea for the student paper I write for, where there would be three column sidebar of random words you could connect to create new music genre names. Column A was a nationality/geographic region, Column B was a prefix like Post, Death, Ambient, or Straight Edge, and then Column C was the key genre name. Adding "core" to the end was optional. So you could come up with things like "Czech Death Folk" or "New Zealand Ambient Metalcore." I was pretty much the only person amused by it.

ISD: Intelligent Square Dance. The moves are called out in Latin anagrams. If you're not so quick, you'll be lost on the dance floor, but then it's not really for dancing, is it?

The last time I tried this my best friend and I invented "Hatebread," a project devoted to wiping yeast off the face of the Earth. When we called our music "annihilation metal," thinking that we were really over the top, someone else told me that that was an actual genre.

I really wanted to be the first person to invent annihilation metal, so that sucked.

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Thursday, 9 September 2004 15:56 (nineteen years ago) link

There's also a band called Hatebreed, I think.

I'm actually trying to "Jewgaze" right now and it doesn't seem half bad: slow, reverb-drenched, almost drumless noodling along the klezmer scales, with dubby bass and delayed shofar drones.
