actually good comparision
modern rappers trying to incorporate memphis rap in their music but it still sounds more earfriendly
same with black metal (we have blackgaze etc)

-lo-fi production
-generally violent or misanthropic lyrical content
-the "hipster" choice
-large underground scene
-shitty cover art
