A Guide To Music Micro-Genres 1: Hedomatic Skepto-Crunk

My recent return to considered criticism have reminded me just how baffling and complex, the edifice of music has become.  In order to 'dance about architecture' successfully, some sense of context has always been necessary.  However, in our current digital age, the categorisation of music into an ever more fractal  labyrinth of genres, sub-genres and micro-genres has made understanding a specific piece of music's place in the grand scheme of things near impossible.  If we are to continue to shoehorn musical expressions into arbitrary pigeonholes, or to appreciate how they may now even be tailored in their genesis to the parameters of genres devised as specific marketing tools - some clarification seems necessary.

Here then, is the first in a series of hopefully useful definitions, designed to provide a little clarification of some of contemporary music's more obscure micro-genres... 

Hedomatic Skepto-Crunk:

This was one of the first of these musical movements to integrate a meaningful sampling of corporate/commercial aesthetics/ rejecting all conventional desires for health, wealth, power and fame// In this glass bubble, certain trends and techniques are used to the point of exhaustion, and it is the normative claim that we should always act so as to produce our own pleasure.

What we have here then, is without a doubt the least prominent of all music genres// It's on no local radio stations, besides perhaps once a month on a small Indy station// However, it does accept the idea of declining marginal utility/ just more fucked-up and better// Everything just sounds good slowed down with reverb// It has an indescribable feel; a special something that/ furthers the interests of a well-off individual to a lesser degree than it would the interests of a less well-off individual// For those that like their ice cream way above and beyond the regular taste/ eventually, there will arise a need for more content, and different angles at which to approach things.
