What’s neo-pop? You can’t just stick neo- in front of something to freshen it up. Not the most stupid of genres to be sure, but both a word of warning and a chance for us to point out that Damn Shames and Isosceles are both TERRIBLE bands. Whoops, did that slip out?
Classic example of sticking together four apparently completely unrelated words to produce something that puts the jism into neologism, as it were.
Now this is more like it. Ostensibly a natural progression on so-called intelligent dance music, this slaps a completely extraneous ‘h’ on the end, comes down firmly on the ‘electro’ rather than the ‘intellect’ side by chopping out an ‘l’, and comes up with some utter, utter nonsense that makes the much-maligned IDM look like a stroke of fricking genius.
Not sure if ‘death by bass’ is quite ludicrous enough as a genre but for the fact that I seriously dislike club nights that threaten me with violence to tempt me into turning up.
This must surely be the early gold standard to which all ludicrous music genres must aspire. Childishly controversial? Check. Abstract punctuation? Check. Insane emoticon-based sign-off? Present and correct. Come on you lot, the bar has been raised.
Kudos as well for coming on a night featuring a band called Scrotal Tunic.
Nothing wrong with a club night called ‘Freak Scene’ or a DJ named apparently named after a hamster breed. But ‘mutant disco pogo’, and designed specifically for ‘punks in pumps’… bit self-limiting, dontcha think?
As if folk/psyche/drone with a drone influence (OK, so he likes drone) didn’t make things clear enough, time to go happily a-wandering in the trees with the frankly silly ‘forest folk’.
So this is the flyer that kicks it all off, with this fabulous rhyming couplet of utter nonsense. Are techchunk and electrospunk two genres? Or is techchunk an offshoot of electrospunk? Right out of the Nathan Barley top drawer.
