What genre has the cringiest name? I'm gonna have to say

>>74290974
Djent no contest

but the name is a joke

>>74290974
/Mu/core

Any of the late 00s indie meme genres like chillwave and witch house

>>74290974
Post-Rock
It sounds so ungodly pretentious y'now? "It's not Rock, we've moved past that." Makes it impossible to talk about with normies without coming across as pretentious yourself.

Metal.

intelligent dance music is up there for sure, its name is a meme even among fans

Jazz

"""Conscious""" hip hop

Crust punk

>>74291115
Probably this.

vaporwave

Post rock

>>74291115
I fucking hate telling people what IDM stands for so I usually tell them "experimental electronic" to come off a bit less pretentious

>>74291618
The name makes it sound much more interesting than it actually is though, it's not a bad name.

>>74290974
mumble rap
just sounds so outsider gawky

trap

>>74291082
Post Rock and Prog Rock for sure

PBRNB

ska obviously

>>74291709
I use the acronym but call it "Independent Dance Music". there are lots of "indie" bands signed to major labels so i figure the distinction is more in sound than actual conditions

>Avant Garde
The fuck are you supposed to pronounce that frog shit

>>74292646
not hard to say at all but it does comes across as obscenely pretentious to most normies.

math rock

>>74291115
This so much. The name isn't even fitting. IDM isn't inherently intelligent, and also since the name "IDM" is based on the name "EDM", it implies that one of the differences between edm and idm is that one is electronic and the other isn't. If anything it should be EIM or something, which still isn't perfect and it doesn't have as much of a ring to it, but it's more fitting at least.

>>74291724
mumblerap isn't a de facto genre

>>74292646
A vant guard or if a faggot a von guard

>>74290974
How about Pook?

>>74292804
pookcore is the future

"Pop"
Like what is it a bursting bubble of gum?

Pornogore.

>>74292737
How about ELM, electronic listening music?

>Country
Which country?

>>74290992
This to be honest family.

>>74291082
Any genre with the word "Post-" in it sounds pretentious. Post-Rock, Post-Electronic, Post-Punk, Post-New Wave, shit like that.

>>74294358

>>74292646

walked right into that one

>>74291618
On one hand, it's based off of the term "vaporware" and is intended to invoke feelings from a broken nostalgia. On the other hand, it's just a bunch of kids slowing down Diana Ross songs in Audacity

>>74294358
Post Punk isnt bad but the others yupp

Lolicore

>>74291115
give examples

hip-hop. it doesn't sound so bad because its an everyday word, but when you think about it it sounds so fucking stupid

>>74294794
>On the other hand, it's just a bunch of kids slowing down Diana Ross songs in Audacity

So naming it after when companies don't deliver on their product is

Also Mac Plus wasn't made on Audacity.

>>74294842
I don't know among fans of IDM, but Aphex has joked that IDM is "really mean" to other genres of music and thinks "braindance" would be more appropriate.

Fado
Math Rock
Post Punk
IDM
Experimental Big Band
Bluegrass
Plunderphonics
PBR&B
Trap
Boom Bap
Musique Concrete
Krautrock
Turntable Music

>>74291005
This, its all RYM shilled chart fag shit.

Wonky. Wonky is the WORST name

You know when I think of it, "Hip Hop" is a pretty gay name.

>>74291115
the term "idm" is lame but what's even worse is that it's such a vague and meaningless term atp. like literally every "idm" artist can be comfortable classified as something else, like ambient techno, dnb, downtempo, you name it.

Gothic industrial

Even though I listen to it I don't like saying it

>>74294891
Macintosh Plus wasn't, but it's still the exact same concept

>>74295029
Gothic anything, since it rarely describes the music.

Also Visual Kei for that same reason.

crunkcore
dungeon synth
post-metal
baggy (and madchester)

PBR&B

I think by the time this was coined the "making fun of hipsters for drinking PBR" thing went out of style.

>>74295203
Different poster here, but let me explain why I also thought "post-metal" was a gay name...Its just the original "post-rock", but with the word metal put in.

Trap

Some of the more highfalutin classical terms like "New Complexity"

>>74294926
>experimental big band
wtf

nobody wants to listen to big band, and they certainly don't want it experimented with.

>>74295352
>>74294926
I just love that trap is named after a place you'd most likely hear trap.

>>74295382
That's why it's named trap, dummy

>>74294358
Post-killyourself

>>74294542
Just call it downtempo. Most people won't know the difference.

>>74295420
...I know, dude. That's why I love that it is called that. It's honestly more descriptive that way.

>>74294542
There's nothing wrong with trip-hop.
>>74295469
Downtempo is both different, and more retarded of a name.

>>74294877
>but when you think about it it sounds so fucking stupid
Who do you think invented it? Niggers don't have the capacity to think.

>>74294087
The only country that matters, friend. America.

>>74295503
I know they're different, I literally said most people won't notice the difference.
What would you call it? I'm not being a dick I'm genuinely curious.

>>74295512
Thats so racist- you know what? I can't even THINK about this post...

>>74290974

You do realize that the term "shoegaze" was initially a derogative slight, right?

>>74295247

It had, but "alt-R&B" is just as bad

>>74295767
That doesn't make it any less cringe

>>74295512
>Niggers don't have the capacity to think.

He's never heard jazz before

>>74295789

Yeah I guess so

I mean, the term for the genre makes sense tho... You don't get lost in a wall of sound by not gazing down at your $5000 pedal board

Bluegrass, Math Rock and Krautrock all kinda make sense though.

>>74296551
Yeah, bluegrass likely came from the name of a band, the Blue Grass Boys.

>>74296551
Not Math Rock. People called it math rock cause "wow lots of time signatures" but in actuality, I don't think Hella or Tera Melos or Don Caballero even know the time signatures to their songs/they didn't write the music with time signatures or technical bullshit in mind. The thing about math rock bands are that they are not formulaic and exact and precise as the term "math" rock would suggest. These are usually guys who used to play in punk rock bands. They write spastic shit without thinking of time signatures, and fans trying to analyse the music noticed that the songs don't consistently stay in 4/4 and when notated, the songs are actually in rapidly changing time signatures, so they called it math rock because of the changing time signatures, when in actuality math rock bands are just writing music that disregards time signatures which is why the time signatures frequently change.

Also I'm tired as fuck and I'm not proofreading this so my bad if my explanation sounds like shit or repeats itself or whatever the fuck
