For example, Rock.
Romo
Dead metal
does sort of imply that rocks were once alive, which is frankly a rather scary thought for anyone alive in those times.
Underground, if it ever was a genre. Suppose it was more a scene.
Rap music
punk
Nu Rave? Klaxons and that lot?
Urban
New Wave Of New Wave.
That was one of the most exciting times in music ever. Who would have thought that SMASH and These Animal Men wouldn’t have gone on to be huge.
Drillgaze
skiffle
Grindie, anyone?
Not sure that was ever living?
Hip-Hop
Chillwave, the genre that only lasted one summer. And a glorious summer that was.
Electroclash
I had a bit of a soft spot for those. Some singles were quite good. But yeah…never going to change the world were they.
Chillwave
Trap
Witch house
Would argue that the sound of chillwave has gone on to be quietly influential and that a lot of stuff coming out now owes a debt to Toro Y Moi/Neon Indian/Washed Out
