Create Your Own Music Genre!

[Meatwad555]

All you do for this is combine aspects of other genres and make a new, totally cool genre of music. Don't forget to give it an awesome name too.

You can make as many music genres as you want, but make sure the genre doesn't already exist!

My genre would take many aspects of Grindcore, heavily distorted, down-tuned guitars, extreme tempos, etc., and have nursery rhymish lyrics.

I would call this genre ToddlerGrind.


Your turn.

[Gowienczyk]

I want to mix elements of thrash metal and bluegrass evenly. Electric Banjos would be the dominant instrument, clearly.

What would you name this revolutionary genre?

Southern Metal? Blue Metal? Thrashgrass?

Hell if I know.

[back_blows]

Metalcore + Numetal + Post-grunge = Nugrungecore

[afterstasis]

black metal-esque guitar and general atmospherics + chaotic emo's drumming and vocal style + the occasional fit of pure noise worship...
basically something like a bastard spawn of burzum and orchid with a dose of prurient.

we'll just call it "blackness" and keep our fingers crossed that no one lame finds out about it.

[Meatwad555]

Southern Metal? Blue Metal? Thrashgrass?

Hell if I know.

Blue Metal? That is sad and br00tal at the same time.

[warthogdb]

Southern Metal? Blue Metal? Thrashgrass?

Hell if I know.

I'm liking thrashgrass.

[Onslaught_fei]

Hokum guitars + Nu-NRG rhythm + Jeongak string sections + Motown vocals.

Ill call it sonic cluster ****.

[ArmsAreLoud]

Hairy Neo Progressive Punky Grunge. Just for the lulz of seeing a band actually pull this off.

Neo refers to Neo Classical, by the way.

[onidragon]

Techno beats, blues-rock guitar with heavy distortion, Metal bass, and Bob Dylan esque vocal style, with banjo and keyboards. I call it...MAGIC RAWK

[timmay9]

African Tribal Rhythms + Shreddy Guitars + Vocoder Vocals + Crime Show Esque Synth Tones + Funky Bass + Lyrics about Pirates = I have no clue what to call it, except for that it would be awesome.

[WhiffleBallTony]

African Tribal Rhythms + Shreddy Guitars + Vocoder Vocals + Crime Show Esque Synth Tones + Funky Bass + Lyrics about Pirates = I have no clue what to call it, except for that it would be awesome.

That's basically Cynic minus the pirates.

[Alright_Computer]

I don't think too many people have really done folk-funk, although by now I'm sure someone has. If they haven't, I call dibs on it.

[Gowienczyk]

That's basically Cynic minus the pirates.

I don't know about that.

[a21schizoidman]

Psychadelic + Folk + Barbershop + Death Metal + Noise Rock

[Zeleii]

Occult Southern Fried Black Doom Rock

[Soror_YZBL]

Goth + prog + punk + house = Awesome Rock.

[willdabeast21]

Guitar - psychedelic
Bass - funky
Vocals - none
Other - sax (alto, tenor, and baritone), trumpet, trombone, piano, tambourine, crash symbols, timpani drums, snare drum, bass drum, and tuba.

Picture a band with Hendrix, Flea, and a jazz ensemble.
I call it Funkadelic

So does george clinton. :) It sounds like p-funk, only without the (admittedly nonsensical) lyrics.

[Runesmith]

Black Metal + New Wave = Black Wave!

Okay, that was awful...

[Soror_YZBL]

Black Metal + New Wave = Black Wave!

About as bad as Klezmer + synth pop.

Jew Wave

Jew Wave
That got my lunch all over the screen.

[SonicRocker15X]

A mix between heavy metal and country.
Distorted electric banjo, heavy metal guitar solos, and skull crushing loud drums.
With lyrics inspired by Metallica, Megadeth, and many other metal bands.
I call it... Sharpened Southern.

[back_blows]

Black Metal + New Wave = Black Wave!

Okay, that was awful...

You're not by any chance a fan of Amesouers are you?

[Bub]

Jazz metal. A jazz metal song would start out with a soulful saxophone and the next second the sax would stop and an insane double bass drum fill comes in and the sax lets out this wail. Their would also be extremely distorted guitars and basses too.

[MronoC]

Swamp Doom:
Drone Metal Influenced basslines, Swamp blues guitar/banjo, drummer optional (if present, most likely stoner-doom-esque), additional Horror Punk influences, voodoo inspired lyrics in the vein of Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and minimalist additions by out of tune piano (not essential, but that's what I would do).

Painkiller (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rUCl8j3rws&feature=related)

no guitar, but other than that, fairly similar to the desription given

[Soror_YZBL]

You're not by any chance a fan of Amesouers are you?

I am. They're amazing.

[a21schizoidman]

hmmm

Hair Metal + Noise Rock + World Music + Pop Punk + Country + Folk + Doo Wop



i call it:

Crap Rock

[CycoMiko138]

**** Dale-esque guitar with a wah-wah pedal and slap bass. Horns are optional.

Can anyone guess what genre this would be?

EDIT: LOL! D1ck Dale gets no respect from the censor-bots!

[a21schizoidman]

**** Wah Wah Horn?

[CycoMiko138]

**** Wah Wah Horn?

You're hardly trying. :rolleyes:

[a21schizoidman]

You're hardly trying. :rolleyes:

i tried to make is sound like a bad porno title

[CycoMiko138]

i tried to make is sound like a bad porno title

Then, it would have to be something like "Slap My Horn-y ****".:eek:

I would have thought that the genre would be obvious!

[a21schizoidman]

Surf Funk?

[CycoMiko138]

Surf Funk?

There ya go! Give this man a cookie!:D

Btw, someone should seriously invent this.

[Runesmith]

About as bad as Klezmer + synth pop.

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

Jew Wave

My new favorite genre. :D


You're not by any chance a fan of Amesouers are you?

[HyeJinx1984]

Tribal Bouzouki Metal

[Warfighter1021]

metalcore+ numetal + pop = nupopcore

[Hungryfreak]

Grease

Metal that draws influence from 50s rockabilly stuff associated with greasers.

New-Wop

Modern take on Doo-Wop. Really just a movement title, since there could be many modern takes like a metal context or shoegaze context or much more. It could spawn all sorts of fun pun genre names like Shoe-Wop or Doom-Wop.

[rowtheboat]

Glam + Jazz + Country = Lol music

[SevinWoohoo]

ElectroBlackenedDeathPornogrindShredJazzCore.

[FatFreeDoritos]

Music industry executives take music back from the masses by playing down and dirty music that appeals to the broadest possible fanbase and sell it at premium prices.

[Lolicat]

Britmericana

[a21schizoidman]

Fargo Sound

[SisterRay]

Pop Fusion- fusing pop melodicism, and harmony with elements of all types of music. The use of interesting choices in rock/pop music instrumentation (piccolo trumpet, sitar, french horn, string ensembles etc). They use of the recording studio to experiment with extensive editing techniques like running a track backwards and recording on top of that. The use of odd meters with song structures common in pop like verse/verse/bridge.

[ZosoBaron]

Electric blues + NWOBHM+ Space rock

Turbulence Metal

[DethTung]

Grunge + R&B/soul = Rhythm & grunge

[CyanFunk]

[exploder]

I would probably do CrazyCore or Psycho-Rock:elements of Hardcore Punk,Pop Punk,Thrash Metal,Carnival Music,Funk Rock,Hardcore Rap,Industrial,Electronica,Nu Metal,Metalcore,Jazz,Rockabilly,Disco,Southern Rock,Comedy and Death Metal. Maybe throw in some bagpipes and banjos just 'cause.Maybe,even a Crunk song for ironic hilarity.
think Slayer,Eminem,Korn,James Brown,Lady Gaga,Immortal,Marylin Manson,DMX,Nirvana and Lonely Island mixed

Regardless of what you posted, you just created "necrocore". :D

[LiveHomeVideo]

1. Cheese Metal. Lyrics and vocals are similar to pop lyrics, but in a metalcore/death metal setting.

2. Popcore - It's death metal lyrics in a girl-pop setting and vocals.

3. Life Metal - Death Metal that praises Jesus!

4. Dumbifying - A spin on Inspirational music, but with nonsense lyrics.

5. Machine Pop - Clinging noises set to autotuned lyrics about robots.

6. Sega-Core - Like Nintendocore, but set to a hacked Sega Genesis.

[GreatJedi7]

Electronic Metal
Main Instruments: Keyboard, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Vocals.
Sounds Like: Owl City + Any Metalcore band = Electronic Metal

Me and my friend were seriously in the process of doing this as a two man band, but then we stopped for reasons which I forget.

I should ask him to start it up again.

[Ferocious Q]

emo jazz
progressive bluegrass
death country
grind hop
jazzcore
discopunk
polkacore
polkabilly
jazzibilly
jazzhop
i could probably come up with more, but i had this discussion with my friends last year and we came up with these

[Lameboy19]

jazzcore
jazzhop

both of these exist.

[MrFruitLord]

1. Cheese Metal. Lyrics and vocals are similar to pop lyrics, but in a metalcore/death metal setting.

3. Life Metal - Death Metal that praises Jesus!

Different names, but already exist.

[Runesmith]

Roots-rock death metal. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers meet Death (as if Tom Petty doesn't look like a cadaver already).

[killer_roach]

Different names, but already exist.

Life Metal is actually used as a term, even if "Unblack" seems to be the more accepted one anymore.

As far as contributions of my own go...

Chamber post-rock - Sparse soundscapes with a small orchestral ensemble. (That being said, I guess Art Zoyd and Univers Zero have already come close to this...)

Avant-garde disco - Should be self-explanatory.

Baroque metal - Dream pop-inspired keyboards, rhythm guitar, and backing classical strings play counterpoint to distorted lead guitar riffs and double bass pedal work. Probably using a dual-vocalist setup.

Progressive Italodisco - Dueling synths is the name of the game here, as the hyperkinetic modulations of modern eurobeat mingle with sweeping neo-prog synth lines and subdued, morose vocals across multi-part compositions.

[LiveHomeVideo]

Life Metal is actually used as a term, even if "Unblack" seems to be the more accepted one anymore.



That's Christian Black Metal. I meant Christian Death Metal or Deathcore.

[killer_roach]

Life Metal is used as a term, though. But seriously, "Christian Metal", "Life Metal" and "Unblack Metal" are all more or less used interchangeably, even if they probably shouldn't be.

[Lameboy19]

twee-hop

[afterstasis]

progressive bluegrass


Guess what year this actually started before clicking here (http://rateyourmusic.com/genre/progressive+bluegrass).

[exploder]

Crunk Thrash - constantly repeated loud phrases about 40 ounce beers shouted over butt-slammin' metal riffs

[exploder]

Eminem made one:
"This is Hello Kitty bedspread satin funk,
Mixed with egyptian, with a little rap and punk
Zapp and Eric Clapton, (Shaft?), Frank Zappa crunk"

[Boskov]

I always thought a half 'n half of Grindcore and Shoegaze could be intense.

Frantic, aggressive rhythm section with those Shoegaze vocals and guitar.

Shoegrind would be in full swing.

[_mg3b_]

Post-everythingcore - you probably haven't heard of this because you listen to music like a n00b. In reality everyone knows the only thing worth listening to is post-everythingcore, a genre created at CERN by accelerating a recording studio with Radiohead and John Cage so fast that they travel back in time. Of course, time is cyclical, so eventually they are thrust into what your puny mind probably regards as the future, though in reality it is more like the intersection of the past, present and future, a dead area of time and space where nothing does or ever will again exist.
Bands to watch for - You don't watch for bands in this genre. If you're good enough for p-ecore they contact you.
