I'm still trying to understand what "drewgaze" is?

^ Thanks, guys. I`m glad you enjoyed the clip. I used to have an album like that, and although it started off sounding wonderful, after twenty minutes of that thin whine I was saying to myself, "This music is beautiful but I really can`t endure it a moment longer!"

Of your clips, Carpe, I really liked "Nobody" by Skindred; no big fan of metal or reggae, I was just swept away by the energy of that song.

^ No use asking me, Rjinn; I`m still mystified by Shoegaze.

What, btw, is RIO ?

Okay, that crunkcore genre definitely wins over Pornogrind for being the worst weird sub genre. If I was forced to listen to that **** for an hour I'd probably literally puke.

Not really a sub genre, but here's some extreme metal band fronted by a dog. yes, I'm dead serious.
I also remember there being a band of another animal, I'm not sure which though. I think it was a parrot?

^ That seems such a cool idea to me, Dylstew, taking animal sounds and music in an unexpected direction...
Much more conventional, although considered rather innovative in its day, is this beautiful song in which a bunch of humpbacked whales handle the backing vocals:- Farewell to Tarwathie, adieu Mormond Hill...



Fact: Whales are the loudest mammals on the planet, with Howler Monkeys coming in second.

Zeuhl began in France with all bands related to Christian Vander's Magma but in recent years has become increasingly popular in Japan

Zeuhl, a progressive rock music sub-genre

RIO = Rock In Opposition, bands like Henry Cow, Art Bears, Thinking Plague, Univers Zero, so on
RIO/Avant-Prog, a progressive rock music sub-genre

I haven't heard the Dun album, I will look into it.

^ Thanks, Paul. I will be checking out Magma and Henry Cow next time I`m in the mood for something challenging. Right now I`m enjoying music that is a bit more relaxing, in the Psychedelic threads. That music, however is not nearly as restful as this strange sub-genre, Tibetan Bowl Music:-



And by the standards of the genre, that`s a pretty frivolous piece; punchy, upbeat and short. Other Youtube clips are one, three and a rather daunting eleven hour piece - just let me know and I`ll post that one for you, Paul!.

^that was amazing

i suppose i should add

Krishnacore would probably be one of the oddest sub genres that i seriously enjoy

basically started with Cro-Mags and cause for Alarm but boosted with bands like Shelter and 108....Krishnacore is basically hardcore and Hare Krishna

seriously in the 90s going to a hardcore show or even the early Warped tour shows the were always robbed monks who would be more than happy to talk to you....and often feed you

personally i love the genre....great hardcore music

and if i were to believe in a higher deity...the 8th incarnation of Vishnu is exactly where i would start...as he truly was beautiful


Shelter



^love this song

108



"our desire brings on our pain"

Inside Out

^this songs makes my blood pressure go up

Even though the music itself is not really strange, I think naming a subgenre "brutal death metal" is pretty ridiculous. It's like "evil black metal", "upbeat power metal", "dark gothic metal" etc.

This is called Chillwave. It's purposely made so that it sounds like an old cassette synthpop track from the '80s.
