I think I should have created multiple threads and spread the poll among them.
Well, I just wanted to give it a try.
What style of music you make?

Hardstyle comes to mind with that combo of all stars listed lol.Former Pharaoh wrote:Now there's a mix...Trance/Techno/Hardcore.
Oakenfold vs. Vath vs. Ron D Core.
Also, shouldn't Ethnic be with New Age?
Or am I stereotyping?
I make Electro/Techno with hints of Industrial/IDM/Italo/Newbeat/Minimal synth. So yea I am messed up. lol.
Every situation(1) should be confronted with its opposite(2) to come to a better situation(3).

New Age music, as I see it, is mainly those massproduced meditation or relaxation tapes that have little to do with actual music... or tedious samplings and watering down of supposedly 'original' and 'authentic' music and repackaging it as a musical wallpaper for stressed out yuppies to play in their car.
Ethnic/World music is just music that's not from the european/african-american tradition. So you get Indian classical music, traditional Pakistani Qawwalis (and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's (bless him) new, updated qawwali that's the 20th century version of an age old tradition), North African Gnawa, African drum styles that's as old as the wind, Tibetan chants, Chinese art music all the way from before Europe had invented banging rocks together up untill today, Mali proto-blues, the latest Mbalax tunes from Senegal and south east Asian bhangra, Bollywood music, Brazilian hiphop, etc etc etc all lumped together in one convenient shelf for musical tourists (like myself!) to pillage... it's Eurocentric as hell! I've seen the Pogues (Irish traditional punk, I suppose is the best way to describe it!) shelved next to a disc of dance/d'n'b remixes of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and a Best Of Angelique Kidjou (contemporary African pop - I forget where she's from exactly, South Africa?)... ARGH!!!
Sorry... you pushed a button there

If mankind had to sacrifice one of the categories listed, and completely delete it from our current and all future cultures - it would have to be trance/techno/hardcore.
It is just so naff, stale, dated, flat, uninspiring, simple and insulting to the eardrums.
Next of course would be glitch ...
Then R&B; Specifically Usher should be drowned in a bath of warm vomit.

I thought of New World music when I saw New Age but it makes logical sense to affiliate the latter with "waterfalls" and "Frogs croaking".noisetonepause wrote:Definetely...Former Pharaoh wrote:Also, shouldn't Ethnic be with New Age?

By the way, no joke, i heard that when frogs croak, they open other dimensional worlds where most insects travel to. Just think how cool it would be to put a loud Croak in a dance song that opens up a dimension! People will think they are tripping!
RE: frogs croaking open up a dimensional portal for insects?!?
I think that insect dimension they open is called 'frog belly'
RE: bizare categorization of music poll ...
I make a wider range of music than the poll seems to allow.
It's a shame PHPbb polls dont allow weighted voting (choose 1,2,3rd choice etc ) it would work better
I've been doing songs ranging from breakbeaty to lounge to glitch to fake-celtic IDM to Dub to ... all sorts of stuff. I'm doing some psi-trance jam with a cellist in the next couple of weeks. She wants me to take loops in on the fly and fuck with them in a psy trance style, I'm not sure how that works, it'll be different thats for sure!
Like colin_h's post ...
Its fun to bill yourself as some made up new genre and see if it catches on. Harddub, trancestep , tripplecore, snoozebeat , ambient hiphop, sleazebeat, etc.
