BREAKCORE: BY DISTURBED TEENS, FOR DISTURBED TEENS

=================================================================


oi listen yea


I know there is a lot of mild banter being tossed around the place about the whole breakcore ressurgance and what it means for the original fans and everything. You know what I'm talking about. Yea, I mean the whole mess regarding if its breakcore or ambient dnb or ambient jungle or jungle or dnb or math rock or distinguished chemical traction or ambient trance house techbreakneofacism corecorecore or rockcore drumbreakcorestep or WHATEVER


Now, one thing I know is that MOST of what youtube and music boards consider "breakcore" THESE DAYS is actually just ambient jungle or ambient dnb. and, for some of it, that is true.

However, not all the time. Because if you think about it m8, a lot of these songs rely on heavy use of the distortion and break-ing-up-ing of drum breaks including the amen break. A lot more than the original genres.

SO it is a bit of an in-between innit??

But I mean how politically correct can one person be bothered to BE when it comes to such a trivial thing, yknow?

So regarding the above, new breakcore artists + kind of switched up sound = just a little more on the side of "breakcore".


ou know what I bloody call it?


Neobreak


by god just call it that

Because that one term actually covers everything. Every insurance, every liability.

it distinguishes it from what it used to be AND acts as a medicine pill for all the old wrinkly OG's who get a heart attack at hearing people refer to it as breakcore. AND it gives the kiddies something to claim for themselves.

just call it "Neobreak" man


Neobreak: A modern version of the genre "breakcore" which incorporates elements of ambient genres and other breakbeat elements, creating an offshoot mix of basically all of them. Often charactarised by heavy reese basslines, emotional chords and a visualizer which portrays heavily distorted and mangled-up anime girl art. Neobreak songs began rising in popularity during the early 2020's.


THERE M9 ITS DONE


personally, i love old and new breakcore. old and new, jungle or dnb. im down with all of it!!!


but for those who arent, ill just give my opinion rq.

breakcore isnt what it used to be. i mean, thats what everyones saying, and its TRUE. its changed up completely.

its in the hands of a new generation now. gen z have the baton now and theyre taking it further wherever they want. its just what happens, yknow. especially with the internet where it can be shared and produced and there are production kits and EVERYTHING BASICALLY lots of people can and lots of people do.

and thats just the way things go in aaallllbuuuquuuuurrqquueeeeee.


speaking of what theyre doing with it, the whole point has seemingly changed. it began as an experiment with one very defined cause: make it as aggressive and mortifying to listen to as possible. glitchy, harsh, whatever just make it blow your ears out.

nowadays, that has been taken and given a whole new face. its not like that anymore. you know what it is now? a way of venting. yea.

Neobreak is about the emotions, you dig? its about the sadness and hearbreak and the melancholy. hence why its far more melodic than its predecessors.

i mean look at everything from the art, to the producer names, to the song names, to the full JOURNEY a song can take you on. heck, even the album description which some people leave in their videos, exposing their trauma or whatnot.

so to all the tweed hat-wearing grandpas waving your fists at those darn kids on your digital lawn, let them graffiti all over the stuff and make their installations on it and dye the lawn crazy colours with their emo ideologies and practices.

what you contributed to in the past is still there. its engraved in history. but now its another generations turn to do their stuff. i mean, theyre taking what you created/enjoyed and makign something new out of it. take it as a compliment if anything.

let the kids be kids, man. with their silly little computers.


so it is, quite literally, not what it used to be. sound-wise or purpose-wise.

hence, the title at the top of this post.


just call it Neobreak, i swear to god.
