Wonky Compilations?

[antloss]

from LA with Love

an incredible mixtape. been obsessed with it for time. has some good alt. indie folk implosion-esque stuff on it too. good mixture.

Anyone waiting for the term post-wonky to come about?

I don't like the name either. It just reminds me of donk and that's not a good thing.

I think of it as progressive hiphop just like how the anticon heads were.

[stapleface]

reminds me of ketamine.
and that's not good for a genre's reputation.
it's hip hop.

might as well stick with trip hop because we cant keep making up new genres every time someone makes a new patch on their synth

IMO trip hop is a worse genre name, and being old enough to have been there i don't remember anyone really using enthusiastically at the time, either. Basically, artists hate genres but they're pretty useful when to have conversations about music or find new stuff.

you have to label it to describe it to someone. im not just going to say "oh its like a bit of this a bit of that and a little of this"
when i can just say its "like wonky" or "like trip hop"

get real

its not hip hop, because when you say hip hop people thing cut up samples, boom bap, and mc's, the whole point of labeling something is to describe it to someone before hearing it, so if that's the image they get then you have failed in describing it

r u agreeing with me or disagreeing with me?

i said genres were useful in having conversations about music.

wtf are you disagreeing with? that trip hop is a wack term? you mention hip hop. i didn't mention the phrase "hip hop". look in my post.




BTW, my avatar is dancing in time with the music

just that trip hop is a not effective term, and someone elses post that "its all hip hop anyway"

its about the easiest way to describe trippy hip hop

even if people don't like it

hip hop is the genus and there are many species

[hurlingdervish]

damn that avatar is sick with music!

[slugabed]

im changing my name to thelonious wonk

[thunderloops]

put a wonk on it.

also, i just remembered that the genre description for Warp back in the really early days was "bleeps and clonks", so maybe "beeps and wonks"

Is anyone called Willy Wonky yet??

[Matt3r]

donky.

my favourite term of the day is 'ketakrunk'


didn't someone call this 'beats' already? at least that's slightly more meaningful

[thunderloops]

beats is the old hip hop term for 'beats', e.g. tracks made to be rhymed over, so therefore minimal and instrumental. or that's how i'd describe it. but yeah, certainly in America it's always been 'beats'. i don't know, someone else chime in.

in the us thats the general term, its been around for a loooooooooong time

"check out these beats"

doesnt imply anything other than a sampler or daw being used

I sure hope not

[onelouder]

Says it all right here, although Ket hop was a good 'un. Am i making any blanket statement about Ket use and W----y?
