| I just strongly suspect that it's a big part of the appeal here, subconsciously. |

| Probably. Although I don't even know if it's always a subconscious thing. This actually reminds me of people I knew way back early in high school when I was into metal and hardcore music. There were a lot of young people in those scenes who seemed drawn to the fact that it just sounded like a lot of screaming and noise to most people (particularly older people). |

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop on this. Like, it's revealed that this is all some elaborate 4chan joke being played on credible music journalists:
Create a music scene that encompasses every cheesy-pop attribute these rags have deliberately avoided over the years, then make it big enough so it comes off as culturally relevant and in need of coverage. Once enough 'sites have bitten, abruptly cease any and all production of the scene, as though it never existed in the first place. The press ends up looking ridiculous for having chased yet another failed fad.
Or maybe I'm giving internet trolls too much credit.:gsmile: |

I think it'll burn itself out fairly quickly unless there's a lot to be mined out of style (aesthetic overload) that it is currently, which I'm not really sold on yet. After going through a lot of the stuff within this sphere I'm not that big a fan, although there are some things that really bang. |

I've been coming back to this for days now I think it's poisoning me.

| That little turn in the pad melody (1:36) is pretty tasty. |

To me it sounds like some chavs from the northern UK got their hands on Vocaloid software... in a way it almost brings back memories of late 2-step/early grime, where you have amateurs making tracks on the PSX music maker game (Musical Mob - Pulse-X, Dizzee Rascal, etc).
Now I listen to vocaloid music, got into dance via saccharine eurodance / Alice Deejay / Ian Van Dahl, but those things seem to be much more refined in terms of production. Though maybe that's the point of PC Music, an attempt to simulate pop music but without the extremely high production sheen (as opposed to the early grime I mentioned before where the low production values were used to augment the grittiness and rawness of the production).
I'll just stick with the 90's throwback house the article mentions as the opposite of PC Music (Disclosure, Kiesza). |

| The music being discussed in this thread is extreme...that's all I can say. |

That's a fairly decent piece, probably the best i've read on this stuff. Probably because they're trying to find out why this stuff exists rather than just going "this is the new zany trend you need to hear!" |

would make sense, a play right out of the media manipulation playbook. Based on manipulating the incentives schemes that drive digital bloggers and reporters. |
