Aphex Twin also hated IDM (which I'm pretty sure was coined to describe his music) and preferred "braindance" but that didn't catch on lol. Honestly IDM just sounds cool as an acronym I tend to ignore it's supposed to be "intelligent"

same w krautrock, something ppl actually tried to call out others on using

I know you can’t really hurt any group of white people’s feelings with a slur but krautrock has always been kind of foul, haha

facts.

what you said in your first point is the big thing I think. Ka and Marci etc have been doing this but Earl inspired a way younger generation to follow step tbh.

And that in turn through people like MIKE inspired even more even younger people and made it this movement I'm pretty sure

anyhow I wouldn't want this to go down same way it happened to shoegaze, idm or other names that artists themselves didn't universally agree on. I guess you need something cool for that tho, like death metal and s***

still, the idea of ppl 'mumble-rapping' underground rap is hilarious the more I think about it

I'm German and I think everyone here (after a couple years) kinda rolled with it lol, we think it's funny. Nowadays no one would consider it derogatory

wrote an essay in highschool about how it's lowkey Germany's most significant contribution to music of the past 50 years still lowkey stand behind that

btw Sauerkraut is lowkey underrated

In

SRS definitely actualized those ideas you could find on early MIKE, sixpress and pink siifu projects. dont think it was as present in the genre before that. earl wasn't the first (or maybe he was if we count idls) but he made it so there's the before and after to this sound

yall gave us Kraftwerk too

yeah krautrock and early electronica (berlin school progressive etc) kinda went hand-in-hand, very fruitful time

lowkey Can being my fav German band does have a correlation with Damo Suzuki not singing in German tbh

just looked this up on rym surprised to see that the first Kraftwerk releases are actually considered krautrock as well

This is the same weekend Wiki x Navy play LA

I can't afford to take full weekend off tho so I'm go to this one and a Wiki x Navy show right after somewhere else

lmao they gave Soulja a "futuristic swag" genre on rym too

“East” is one of the most important songs in modern hip-hop. There’s no correct answer, but underground rap is a question of whether you like that song or not.

Camden malik just dropped a 40 something long mixtape. This song with Navy Blue fye

man.. waiting for him to top this

especially the third track

Damn this tough you heard this?

Its older but prolly my favorite song by him

This thread's anthem

Honestly im kinda glad they gave it the "Drumless" tag it makes ir easier to find similar music

yoo this s*** would bang in the summer

i wouldve never thought of u as a can fan but only because i guess we dont have a thread for them. cool beans

real, my fav thing he's done too. Need them to do another collab project tbh. Jodi forever one of the most underrated out of this scene despite being slums og

most of the stuff I listen to is hip-hop related but I do listen to plenty music outside of rap 🙃 rateyourmusic.com/~beflygelt

Love krautrock and love when its influence shows in the music of Radiohead, Stereolab, Boredoms, Mount Kimbie, Darkside, even that latest SOTC track?

Seeing Faust perform IV this week

obliv’s darktwaine’s wilderness is rlly therapeutic

That London lineup Voldy to renegade the whole thing again
