brazil funk isn’t really new people just don’t know it in america

the distinctions between music are real in terms of actual sounds, tropes and instrumentation, however the actual classification itself (as in the concept of rap and/or country) aren’t actual existent things lol

they're just terms used to refer to classes of sounds

The only new genre is mid

what is ur point? like fr lol

so by following ur logic I can also say that languages/idioms are just classes of words and languages/idioms aren't actual existing things

nah, now I get it

i mean yeah theyre basically just adjectives. the idea that theyre some super concrete terms that are mutually exclusive is weird

as long as different sound exists people are gonna describe them

rage music

Western artists could just start borrowing elements from obscure ethnic genres, tweak it a bit and turn it into something unique

this is mathematically impossible with the concept of making music with computers and was probably impossible before/without that. same concept Lowkey applies to fashion

The people in control of things just have to be conscious of profit so things aren’t as wild and weird as they could be in both fields. Collectively it seems in the 80’s and 90’s pop culture as a whole across medium and genre was guided by the intention to innovate/break new ground. Seems like since around somewhere in 2009-2016 we’ve collectively shifted to just enjoying sparkly spectacles that give our generation it’s own version of past things rather than continuing to innovate and make the true next evolution of something

That's always been a practice for decades.

START?

there are genre who will never reach a mainstream level bc they are too unconventional

In the future, we're going to have Country Rap sung in Spanish by Korean artists.

well yeah lol

yeah which is why im saying that genres won’t ever stop being invented because you can just mash up music any which way and people will name it whatever comes closest to what we know it as

i mean that’s kinda why people call SGP’s stuff like psychedelic cloud trap for example, worst case scenario people will just slap an “alternative X” label on whatever if they don’t care to figure it out

ive seen people call this country trap or whatever the f*** it is

Lil Darkie is a crazy ass name lmao

yeah the guy is like a racist Indian guy or some s*** iirc, some slappers though
