We need a word for sample heavy instrumental music and plunderphonics already exists sorry but definitions change

The definition wasn't changed, Oswald already well defined it. rymers literally redefined it (unsourced also) around the beginning of the 10s

Look if you wanna make this the electronica version of clutching to 80s DCHC as the only "real" emo, go nuts but I think we all know how that battle is going

No one gives a fuck about your immutable genre gatekeeping/nitpicking, Ghandhi. Never will.

“What is etymology”

I'm not a hater of sample based instrumental hip hop though. You could group all this stuff under the loose banner of "sample based music" similar to how all that music is grouped under emo. That comparison would be apt if people started retroactively referring to Midwest emo as emocore.

You know a while ago I asked a coworker what kind of music they liked and they said "fast songs" and I think it's important to keep in mind that that's like a functional level of musical taxonomy for a majority of the population

You are being the hairsplittingest of hairsplitting little poindexters rn and I'm not conceding a damn thing until you personally convince the rym mods to drop the tag from all three albums' pages

Album Rating: 5.0

Never questioned the genre tag plunderphonics but considering its origination in philosophy (intent + process), I can see why Ghandi might take a hard stance on the topic as it pertains to SILY, which doesn’t seem concerned with anything beyond vibe.

every song on this is either the best or worst song i've ever heard

^yup. second album is worse. they can't compose a track to save their lives. you can stuff 30 samples into a song, but it's still shit.

Yeah I wasn't all that wowed by Wildflower when I checked it the other day but I will say "Because I'm Me" slaps at least as much as any slapper here

Surprising lack of 5’s here hmmm 🤔

sputnik's obsession with genre debate circlejerks would end instantly if the userbase would talk to someone about music IRL literally just once in their lives
