I had this idea since December and it took this long of Anthony asking for me to do it lol. If you guys dig it, we can do more vids like this. -Austen

So proud of Fantano for having a punk genre named after him
MELON punk!!
@@yoshiplasma Melon Metal
if any are interested in egg would highly recommend Uranium Club, really great band, hope they put out something again
MELON-IS-A-PUNK music
check out Gee Tee!!!! the goat
The takeaway is that Austen is really good at making up genes
I make some new genes sometimes IfYaKnowWhatIMean
@@MuteD6I don't
Edit: ah okay genes
I get it
As the people on Rate Your Music are
Probably popped it into gpt
The takeaway is that Austin is a woman?? checking my biases ig
I know it wound up being one of the fake genres, but Bristol Sound was likely referring to trip-hop
Yes its a term that is actually used interchangeably with trip hop
Could have sworn it's a thing
Massive Attack in the 90s were critical of "Trip-hop" as a term and preferred people to call it "Bristol sound hip-hop", basically. Similar situation to how lots of "IDM" artists hate the term
tricky too, he started shows with a question do u wanna hear some trip hop and if audience said yes he told them fuck offf
Yeah but ‘Bristol sound’ is used for quite a few genres for the sound popularised here in that genre, I’ve heard people talk about the bristol sound in dubstep as well
It was funny seeing Phunk there knowing that *Phonk* is an existing genre
My guess is phunk would be a combination between phonk and funk

@@calebcomrie7984phonk and punk? 😮
@@calebcomrie7984 Phonk is an offshoot of chopped and screwed that uses funk and jazz samples along with hip-hop. So combining phonk and funk would be redundant.
I love this because Bristol Sound actually is a common term used to describe a lot of that portishead style trip hop from the 90s lmao.
I was screaming that in my head, and then....I was wrong. LOL
yeah was just gonna say, that's technically trip hop ^^
Yeah the premise is a bit misleading, because obviously the database has had to choose one authorized term for each genre and omit near-synonyms. Just like sadcore actually has been used.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the excellent work made by Austen in both genre research and coming up with genre names? Every question was really challenging and fun.
oh thx! glad to hear that
Hey buddy what were those black psych albums that flew past? @@fantano
@@HarrisonSim wormlust & oranssi pazuzu
thank you so much!! @@fantano
@@fantanostop fucking spinning around headlines, it's fucking annoying and makes them impossible to read even when paused.
That last one is genuinely unfair because while Sadcore isn't on RYM, it _does_ have a page (or at least some mentions) on Wikipedia
slowcore and dsmb may count
Right????? It’s a legit genre!!! It’s interchangeable with slowcore, and I have 100% participated in conversations where Galaxie 500 and Duster were referred to as “sadcore.”
@@yoshiplasma slowcore's on RYM. So is DSBM (assuming that's what you meant)
@yoshiplasma you mean dsbm?

Don’t know how much you read the comments but Balinese Gamelan is some of the most hypnotic, complex, and rich music in the world. The intricately arranged beats, played by hand by huge ensembles is astonishing to see live. Anyone really into techno/IDM, Björk and Radiohead, and/or American Minimalism like Reich, Glass, Adams, Riley, Eastman etc is going to have a huge appreciation for gamelan. There are some killer vids on TH-cam of some amazing gamelan orchestras.
Yeah a lot of musicians from Debussy to King Crimson and YMO were heavily influenced by Gamelan music, kinda shocking that he doesn’t know about it. Also ironic because he praised the Akira OST, which is heavily reliant on it.
Comparing Gamelan to Bjork and Radiohead.... I think that Fantano viewers can name a maximum of 5 artists at a time
It’s an easy and obvious comparison to make and Björk and Jonny Greenwood have extensive knowledge of musical traditions globally. Björk literally invented an instrument called a gameleste; a midi controlled celeste x gamelan. I mentioned the artists I did because there’s a direct relationship between all of them and gamelan music. I wasn’t playing hipster bingo, gamelan is just something a lot of western musicians are inspired by.
@@inthexu3594damn youre too cool
@trrricky YES!! My dad is actually an American Gamelan composer who blends Balinese Gamelan with American minimalism. He also had his entire Gamelan orchestra custom made to use his own tuning system that he designed. You should check out his stuff, Bill Alves
"Sadcore" is a reference to Scott Pilgrim vs the World. There's a section for it in one of the scenes in the record store.
Also one of my favorite artists (Passenger of Shit) has referred to his works with ethereal girl as sadcore
Nah it's a real genre but it's not on RYM
I read an article about Lana Del Rey that said she invented sadcore and it made me not want to put up with life anymore

Music Fantano won't listen to:
- Sleepy Music
- Nervous Music
I am SHOCKED he didn’t know about the kawaii future bass one knowing how popular it was on TH-cam at one point
Not to mention multiple of Porter Robinsons songs fit into it (Flicker, Shelter, Sad Machine, Goodbye to a World the remixes he did of Let Me Be With You, Tell Your World and ebb and flow)
Yeah it’s a big genre I listening to to quite a lot
frr
I knew Kawaii Future Bass was real because it was on my friend's spotify wrapped last year, along with "brostep" and "indie game soundtrack." I think it was purely just him listening to indie game music that caused Kawaii future bass to be on that list. None of us know what it is
I have a playlist called 'Cute Music' which is KFB, anime ost stuff, denpa-kei/shibuya-kei, and downtempo.
It's a weeb thing so it makes sense no one would rep it.
@@baronvonbeandipdrop the playlist brother it sounds hard af
i've listened to some it's either kinda fun or really bad
Snail's house, Moe Shop, Yunomi. Anime girl album covers, bright sounds, and when there are lyrics, they're often in japanese.
Album wise, I'm partial to Moe Moe by Moe Shop.
@@FranciT98there is also Neko Hacker they fusion Kawaii Future Bass with Rock Electric Guitars
I love how some of these genre terms actually are real but just not recognized by RYM, like sadcore or Bristol sound (an early term for trip hop music)
Gregorians absolutely pale in comparison to the Baltics chanties. Unadulterated bliss.
Now we know Austen should be making music in these new genres she created
so real
Austen is NB iirc😊
@@celtic69literally used she in the video

Kawaii Future Bass has to be what got me into making music in the first place. Artists like Hyper Potions, Snail's House, yunomi, and Shawn Wasabi are huge inspirations to me.
fun fact Gamelan hails from the island of Java (not too far from Timor) and is super relaxing to play and listen to!
Not gonna lie, I think Gamelan deserves to be utilized more in a contemporary popular music setting for real! And when I say "popular music", I mean in a sense of referring to virtually every music that falls under the general convention of genres and styles, not just about mainstream songs that are widely recognized and celebrated a.k.a "popular".
@@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435 John Carol Kirby has been using it more and more lately. Specifically Balinese gamelan
I was an admin on RYM many years ago. Mainly to cover SE Asia related stuff. And the daily argument regarding "is this a genre? WTF is this" were a highlight of my time on the admin board back then lol 😂
Egg punk is by far my preferred flavor of punk. It’s been in somewhere in my Spotify wrapped for the past 2 years
Gamelan music is incredible btw, if you’re a drummer or percussionist check it out their sense of rhythm is otherworldly
I was convinced Bristol Sound was real and applied to the Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky era of trip hop
Egg punk is super identifiable. Has that mid tempo KICK SNARE KICK SNARE + distorted vocals

Nice to see that RYM genre inventions are getting famous now.
are any genre's invented by rym? think you need prior evidence of it to submit it as a genre
@@thomdotexe not really, community's more open towards adding them nowadays
@@p0werfu11 yh I was kinda irked over chipmunk soul being added, bc yes there's evidence of it being used as a *term* but it's a *term* used to describe a production technique of sample flipping, often never used to indicate a genre or aesthetic movement of any kind. So dumb. If Jay Z makes chipmunk soul then Flume makes Vocal Chop and Jai Paul makes Sidechain R&B. see how dumb those terms sound as genres?
Genre submission queue is a fucking warzone. You aint getting anything past Miklak without sourcing
@@thomdotexeRYM has a fuckton of made up genres. like, an insane amount.
As an EDM-head, I am proud to say I know Kawaii Future Bass is a real genre. Hello Snail House.
There is also Neko Hacker
Seeing the joy in Anthony’s eyes as he discovers more music to hate is beautiful 🥹
conducted improv is absolutely a thing my alternative high school had a weird little experimental improv group and we were made well aware of this stuff. On one end you've got like, John Zorns structured improv which is pretty close to how a looser jazz band works but with weird little twists to throw the players off, like conducting, but also like a card based system that dictates ordering and other stuff like that and, and then the other end is like, basically a john cage-esque experiment in chance-based composition, but in real time, with everyone trying to link their totally unstructured playing to the gestures and queues of a conductor, who in the most ambiguated sense might actually be a dancer or even a poet. ITs hard to quantify where that style ends, especially as its not really a genre in itself, moreso an approach to composition that can be applied to anything from noise and industrial to jazz, or progressive rock.
K.
YESSSS! Egg punk is such an underrated "genre" and any of Mark Winter's (Gordon Spicer Band, The Coneheads, D.L.I.M.C) stuff is amazing!
Austen read my mind with the Distantcry tag at 6:22 lol
Bristol sound is real but it's just a synonym for trip-hop basically (Portishead, Massive Attack, early Bjork, Tricky, etc)
Speaking of which, it's about time for a Mezzanine classic review melon ;)
This is Weebcore erasure and I will stand for it, good job guys
:'(
That Pisse album in the Egg Punk genre is awesome
You don’t deserve the title “Internet’s Busiest Music Nerd”
3:13 nice to see Wormlust get shouted out. "The Feral Wisdom" is a must-listen for any black metal fan imo.
Sadcore is absolutely a thing. I remember people using it interchangeably with slowcore
Its not on RYM tho
@@screwtapee wild, cause it's even on wikipedia lol
@@bannanafruitsalad It used to have it's own page there but it got merged with slowcore
doesn't she throw the page that includes 'sadcore' up at 09:46?
Anthony Fantano not knowing Gamelan music was the most shocking thing in this video, honestly.
Fun fact, my university offered a course on performing Javanese Gamelan music and it was incredible. One of the best classes I ever enrolled in.
Weren't GY!BE incorporating elements of gamelan at some point?
@@p0werfu11 I wouldn't be surprised!
i can't believe Anthony doesn't know what gamelan is!!!
i never got into Snail's House, but i knew Kawaii Future Bass was real because a lot of early Panda Eyes and half of Geoxor's music is often compared to or inspired by that scene.
I always thought it was spelled "Austin" I feel like such a fake fan now
6:33 DISTANTCRY ON THE BEAT
The albums that flew by him talking about black psych were Feral Wisdom by Wormlust and Mestarin kynsi by Oranssi Pazuzu
I Have Known About Egg Punk Longer Than Anthony Fantano
Only one I knew was Kawaii Future Bass because it actually has quite a following, It's definitely not the most obscure on here.
Anthony you reviewed a Future Bass Album in the past called “ Glass Swords “ and you weren’t able to point out that future bass was a real genre. (T^T)
There's an added "kawaii" to the future bass in that quizz option, you know?
As an ambient noise wall enthusiast, I thank you for acknowledging the existence of our genre, Mr. Melon
Shouts out to Gamelan music, very cool music from Indonesia and surrounding countries
egg punk is definitely the kind of thing rym nerds made up to categorize the unique style of sound from that time period
Zorn’s “Cobra” comes to mind as Conducted improv. Very interesting album
It's crazy how RYM has all these weird-named genres but won't accept Dissonant Black Metal 😭
tbh there's not that many bands doing that (assuming it's dissodeath but for black metal acts, where the few i can think of are already kind of doing dissodeath as separate from black metal, i.e DsO or krallice), feel free to correct me tho!
@@smidlem1117 There's a list on RYM called simply "Dissonant Black Metal" by user Tyrcrash, it has like 60 bands. I obviously didn't listen to all of them but I think it's enough for the genre to be considered "real".
ONE PUNCH MAN T-SHIRT?!
Fantano stocks have just gone up exponentially
isn't that "Bristol Sound" refer to what became known as Trip-Hop in the 90's? before trip-hop was trip hop...
Sadcore actually *is* a genre, albeit a contentious one. It's sort of an offshoot from Slowcore Music, but most bands in the scene dislike the name and disagree with the label itself (as is also the case with artists inside the Slowcore scene). It's simply Slowcore Music but even more depressing, and heavily overlaps with the former. Arab Strap is probably your best example (particularly their album "Elephant Shoe"), although they're commonly placed under the Slowcore label too.
And if you haven't heard of Slowcore before, then I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. Codeine, Low, Red House Painters, Cat Power and Arab Strap are all great artists, *ESPECIALLY* Codeine.
6:31 Distant Cry on the beat
How does a music nerd not know what Gamelan is?
Can't believe Anthony didn't know the Bristol Sound is trip hop
Damn dude catch up on your Egg Punk. Gee Tee! One of the best bands right now!
Daaaaaaamn my cousin showed me egg punk like a year ago and I was shocked you needed to guess it, I’m pretty sure sooper snooper is that
The powerplant record is unbelievably good
it’s been a little while but I feel like I remember not really being able to get into the vocals on that band
Anthony’s been listening to too much sleepy music that he didn’t know nervous music was a thing
And dark prog
@@grahamdowney5550i read that as 'dark pog', a mythical Twitch genre of dark ambient
The DistantCry tag at 6:35 🔥🔥🔥
I've been playing in a collective performing conducted improv. There are at least two internationally recognised sign systems for conducting of free improv bands. So, the genre is legit :)
Only reason I knew Egg Punk must've been the real one is I saw Oh Sees and they had a dude named EGG IDIOT as their opening act, he ran around in a paper maché egg costume playing crappy midi punk songs on his computer and shouting into the mic. It was actually very entertaining.
this was the most entertaining fantano content in a long time.
Can’t believe you didn’t pick up on Kawaii Future Bass! Such a dope subgenre!
It’s strange because he did once review a Future Bass album back in the day
@@NYUMIR yk which album?
@@nerdst13 It was called Glass Swords by Rustie in 2011. Which I think actually might be the first future bass album ever made. Some of it sounds pretty outdated now but when it first released it was amazing in my opinion.
@@NYUMIR if you can find it you NEED to listen to Rustie's BBC essential mix, it's the bible of early future bass and hybrid trap, got tons of unreleased beats that after 11 years are still some of the craziest stuff i've ever heard
He review Flume's album, which is considered the reason future bass exists. He's also mentioned Illenium's future bass work in track roundups.
Goes to show he's not listening to the deeper electronic music genres if they aren't curated for him.
This kinda stuff, the tier lists and other fun variety stuff is my fav fantano content ever. Love any time a new thing like this drops
Sadcore is definitely a thing. Look up Red House Painters, American Music Club, and Cat Power.
That's the same thing as slowcore. Sadcore is an another name to slowcore.
@@Xgennn57 Yes indeedy
Patisserie kamome is such a good album goddamn
Just in case you need recommends for Kawaii Future Bass:
fusq, Snail's House/ujico, YUC'e, Yunomi, dark cat, Moe Shop, HoneyComeBear, MYLK, Trifect, cute girls doing cute things, Kirara Magic, tea team (Setka, Viuk, Love Club), KUWAGO
There's alot of overlap with future funk, electro, denpa-kei, shibuya-kei, happy hardcore, etc but you'll find your way from those starters
Melon, I really enjoy these videos where you goof around and have fun like this and I think lots of us would enjoy if you made them more
weebcore is not a fake genre, thats literally every Demondice release.
I'd be nervous if i was making music too
Kawaii Future Bass is actually fire
Isn’t that just Future Funk?
@@TheSkaOreo future funk is usually when you add drums/remix a sample of an old 80s japanese banger, kawaii future bass is just hyper cheery EDM music with jazz chords
Listen to Yuc’e the absolute queen of the genre.
@@TheFattestLonelyPickleYuc'e has some misses. Future Candy is more denpa-kei than KFB. Romantic Jam is pretty good tho (Sunset Tea Cup and Macron Moon are fire).
I think Snail's House/ujico and HoneyComeBear outperform Yuc'e in general.
@@TheSkaOreo No it isn’t just Future Funk . Kawaii future bass is a sub genre of Future Bass that utilizes a Chiptune sound and video game aesthetic. One person that makes it is Snails House. Kawaii Future Bass is exactly what it sounds like “ A Kawaii style of Future Bass “ this style originates from Japan. Personally though I prefer regular Future Bass.
this is one step closer to anthony going on hivemind
You should do one where you have to guess based on how it sounds
We’re gonna build the ambient noise wall and make Mexico produce it.
The biggest surprise here is learning that Fantano has never listened to Snail's House. I feel like everybody I know irl is into his music.
Thought for sure sadcore was a legit genre…Low, Red House Painters, Codeine….
I think that’s slowcore not sadcore
It's a fairly common term online, but hasn't made its way into the rym framework. Carissa's Wierd are peak sadcore even though I've never used the term lol
My favorite part of this video is when Anthony kept shouting“CONDUCTED IMPROV, WE HAVE A PROBLEM” for 10 minutes 11 seconds.
I made a comment on egg punk in the snooper review. Egg punk is basically devo hardcore in modern day. Check out DLIMC and coneheads. Pretty cool stuff
This is addictive. I need a lot more of this content dude
Austin was not editing this “as we speak”. Neither while tony was making it, nor while we are watching it.
Kawaii Future Bass unrecognized by melon 😔
0:05 *Vsauce music plays*
At this point it feels like a fever dream that you reviewed a kyarypamyupamyu album
Still mad at rym for deleting their massive ultra specific and unnecessarily pedantic metal subgenres around 2014. Bring back blackened melodic deathcore.
You gotttaaaaa check out Tyshawn Sorey, he studied at Wesleyan with Anthony Braxton and on top of being a great drummer his large ensemble guided improvisations are sensational. Those two, and Wadada Leo Smith are my favorite free improv composers, they make gorgeous graphic scores that players decipher and use to inform their improv session. Sometimes the scores tell you something approximate about duration or note choices but sometimes they’re just for you to interpret emotionally. And then often the bandleader literally guides the improv telling people when to play and dynamics and stuff like that. It’s really fun to watch and play in.
This is one of the most fun music related fresh content I've seen in a long time. :D
very appropriate that he wore the anime shirt for this one
I know of kawaii future bass, i just didnt know it was called kawaii future bass lol
This is the most happy anthony has been in a video in a while
anthony not knowing egg punk made me lose all respect lol
Never thought i would see kawaii future bass in a fantano vid, but here we are
"why would you conduct improv?"
*butch morris has entered the chat*
Great idea for a video, RYM genres are something else lol
You should try something similar where instead of guessing the real genre, you hear a song and then you have to pick the right genre out of the 4 given options.
I feel like I spend way to much time on RYM, because I got all five questions right
same, don't know if i should be proud
nervous music is just hobo johnson
I’m more surprised that a lot of these genres don’t exist, than how weird the ones are that do exist.
That thumbnail made me want to click! I’m a huge fan of the future bass genre and just EDM in general.
Kawaii future bass is a cool genre
literally, being on dubstep gutter 24/7 as a kid finally paid off. Also i like the rustie pfp
