    venetian snares ruined breakcore I think, because now anything slightly different (though the loli shit is NOT it) now must be something else because it doesn’t sound exactly like pretentious idm. Go listen to Bloody Fist.

    STOP CALLING SEWERSLVT TYPE MUSIC A BREAKCORE, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, it's been 5 years, why people can't learn the stuff. Sewerslvt music takes atmospheric drum & bass as the main element and puts hardcore breaks (evolved from breakbeat hardcore) and acid breaks on top of it, while also including such genres as techno (acid techno, techno bass, hard techno and so on), house (acid house, outsider house, garage house etc) and trance (hard trance, trancestep), might also include such genre as doomgaze (i'm not sure if it's correctly to say that it's this genre, due to the fact that such a metal subgenre has nothing to do with the dnb scene, but it's sounds completely identical).

    Breakcore's breaks aren't looped, hence the name BREAKcore, the chain of breaks are chaotic (broken) and in constant change, while the dnb has looped static breaks, like, people can't even hear such obvious and main key difference between them. Also- FEMTANYL IS NOT A BREAKCORE, IT'S A DIGITAL HARDCORE.

    No, i'm not an elitists nor a gatekeeper, i'm just tired of people in our society not even doing any research before spearing the misinformation on the internet.

    It's not a problem of music or genres, it's just a question of mass audience. Let's be honest, few people want to listen to political or social statements in the form of loud atonal noise. Most people, especially teenagers, want to listen to simple and emotional music. And the aesthetics of anime and breaks evoke nostalgia for the 00s. It's just postmodern music for deadinsides of its time.

    I really dislike how internet-breakcore had basically ruined the actual genre for young people…. Actually it didn’t just ruin Breakcore, it’s a blemish on Atmospheric Jungle as well…

    I love breakcore, every type. from vs to sewer. personally for me I don't care about purity. I never would've knew about some other fantastic 'true breakcore ' artists had it not been for the new stuff.

    btw personally I make glitchbreak. this is what I've decided on

    it's not quite atmo jungle, not sure breakcore. I think maybe people on chat are only considering the popular faces of modern breakcore.

    theres a lot of talent in the scene y'all not considering
    that is def more than just break + sample on repeat lol

    Even tho i like the new sound (thats how i unfortunately found breakcore through..), i hate the anime aesthetic shit, ESPECIALLY the loli ones….. but obviously i respect the original reason where it comes from etc, why these kind of videos and other stuff ive watched are important. Thankfully have a friend who was alive when breakcore was bigger thing so he has shared me some good, original breakcore stuff 😀 (I mean i was alive too, just had… weird childhood, lets put it like that)

    This channel is reminding me more of Finn McKenty's Punk Rock MBA channel.
    Going into a niche sub genre of pop music and never explaining it is what Finn used to do, albeit he was just quoting from Wikipedia which I'm not accusing Coolea of.
    Then again its near impossible to explain a style of music that evolved over decades with each year adding its own layer. But like Finn, Coolea yaks away as if its common knowledge. I did have a passing interest, but that just faded.

    As someone who was directly involved with the scene back in the '90s, I put out a bunch of the Addict Records, a couple of Low Res releases, and I was friends with all the Zod Records crew. I can attest to you that, to the best of my knowledge, almost no one knew what Loli was, and for the most part… Aaron's Doll Doll Doll project was released on the Hymen label (correct me if I am wrong), which had its own distinct aesthetic that it carried through releases from many artists. Aaron Vsnares seemed way more interested in noise and cigarettes. For the most part, looking back, most of that scene was about degeneracy to some degree. Still, not in a CP edgelord way, but more in that Breakcore was a reactionary musical movement brought on by a group of 18-22 year olds who emerged from the 90s rave scene but became disillusioned once the first wave of "Electronica" commercialization began to take hold. It was as if GG Allin met Aphex Twin. It was about making "music" with our shit Amigas and PC trackers while taking too many hallucinogens, and a lot of irresponsible alcohol consumption. It was a rejection of the norms of the time. Most of the breakcore artists came out of the '90s rave scene, and we were all still in proximity to that scene through friends. That blend of characters is where breakcore came from. A Jungle DJ, Techno DJ, Gabber DJ, and Hiphop DJ all got really drunk one night while sitting around an Amiga or FastTracker. It was all about breaking the standard genre rules. We watched CKY videos, inherited our boomer parents' classic rock vinyl, and loved getting a rise out of all the rave normies. We threw our own barn parties and were a thorn in the local promoters' ass. We were lucky to sell 1000 copies of a vinyl release worldwide. If you managed to move more than 500, you were considered to be doing well, and we had to hustle for every record we sold since most vinyl distributors at that time wouldn't touch us. It was as DIY as you could get under the circumstances we found ourselves in, and it bore great fruits of sonic madness. Can it ever be replicated? Good question.. I doubt it. It was a time and place. Everything now is just trying to recreate that moment or ambient jungle masquerading as Breakcore.

    Maybe it's because I don't go to any of the redits or something, but why is modern breakcore associated with pedos and "unethical" things? (Idk if the unethical is in addition to the pedo accusations.) As just a listener of the music, I don't see it.

    The only breakcore I'm familiar with is Nero's Day At Disneyland, and its the only breakcore I want.
    It's like musical kombucha, completely weird and offputting and has a weird fermented stench to it, and that makes me want to slurp it up

    also re: Venetian Snares' weird Trevor Brown album art: i do hope a fan that knows more and has a closer relationship with the artist/records could speak on this eventually, i won't do it justice. but all of VS's records are made with clear intention in mind, and for the "find candace", "winter in the belly of the snake", and "dolls dolls dolls", the intent is to disturb, to educate about the subject depicted, and i don't have to doubt Aaron's intention around the subject or the album art. i trust him to not be a creep, the approach reads as very respectful. not as much with Ethan (Sewerslvt). none of it is an ode to child death, or child sexual abuse, it shows the horror of abuse quite well, and it IS a massive artistic achievement (not that it should matter with this topic but as i said VS is a professinal). i also think Aaron got pigeonholed into collabing with Trevor Brown because it was some sort of memetic hazard at the time for alt musicians to get a Trevor Brown album cover (Machine Drum, Whitehouse, Coil, Deicide). him stating he's happy he's closed this gestalt and can move on proves this. which isn't to say Mr. Brown is a wrongun; as far as i can see he's just a troll artist who hasn't acted bad his whole life. it's just that his art short of glorifies this abuse and can be triggering to survivors. but even for these records, the art isn't even pervy. it disturbs hand in hand with the music.

    whereas Sewerslvt's music and covers… of course it's pornslop: you can practically hear him making the records with only one hand.
