The other day someone asked what kind of music I listen to and I said frank schauthiggua, they asked what genre and I said mostly cerebral catwave. It seemed like he took it seriously or he was really good at pretending to know what that is. I at least think I made those up. His reaction made me question…
I have almost no idea what any of the more specific genre tags I see on a lot of songs even mean. Has anyone already made something like a list of genres with some examples?
Edit: Thanks everyone, I’ll check those on my next break or maybe when I get home if they get on my case about headphones at work
That really sounds like it could plausibly be some niche internet microgenre of music even if you pulled it out of your butt, so maybe they just rolled with it?
(If it isn’t one yet, someone will probably make it one now that you’ve posted this… 🙃️)
If I encountered someone I thought was bullshitting me about some Gen alpha Internet micro genre, I’d probably just roll with it too while admiring the improv.
Rule 34?
I mean, if you want to retroactively classify the PornHub jingle as “cerebral catwave”, I’m not gonna stop you… 🤔️
