Whiny post-rock influenced emo that talks about ~feels and has really bright sounding instrumentation. Basically anything that rips American Foosball.

twinkle is the sound of an open note incorporated into an arpeggio/tapping on the electric guitar, usually coupled with a light distortion bright tone or a completely clean tone

Has nothing to do with post-rock necessarily, also A Bunny's Caravan do not twinkle

An open note on a guitar has a very specific tone and you can only get that sound on a guitar so no twinkle for piano or pretty much anything else



Like you could play a twinkle riff a different way with all fretted notes and it won't sound the same and you'll be like wtf is this

he is right, but tbh just saying "shit that rips AF" is also accurate because that's pretty much their sound.

yea I really don't give a shit about the technical jargon behind the genre, especially when it's developed in a pretty linear fashion branching off of a few main bands... influence of predecessors is super duper evident in any "twinkle" band, more so than other subgenre styles... I think thinking about it that way makes a lot more sense because there's not really one mood associated with twinkly stuff at all i.e. American Football sadcore vs. Grown Ups zazz
