I find it hilarious the ridiculous degree to which people break up Dungeon Synth into subgenres. Like its to the point where a "subgenre" might only have a single album in it. Its very silly, and not in a bad way. Just the fact that "plant synth", "nature synth", and "forest synth" are separate things demonstrates the silliness pretty well. As well as "prehistoric sloth synth" lmfao.

@baronvonshekel7323 Жыл бұрын
There aren't, for this to have any halfway official meaning, there would need to be more entrys for the categories and the projects talk about their style in detail (which doesn't happen) Now go and find a top 3 album list of "Plant Synth" and what makes a DS album trve kvlt Plant Synth,a good timewaster but nothing that will have success as its more made up than Supernatural X Dr. Who fanfics. Reading "uncomfy synth" should make you chuckle but calling Ziggurath "Dessert Synth" really takes the cake home
@galaxy_musicc Жыл бұрын
Ahhhh the Typo-Police. Jokes aside haha I dont think anyone can decide how a artist wants to call the style of his project. If the artist wants to bring a certain idea, motivation or feeling across by naming their music, for example "desert synth", then thats completly fine. I think in most of the Projects in this list, you can clearly hear the direction they wanted to go and naming it a certain way just helps people to find, remember or even create it. Of course there are some streches and jokes in here, but to say its all just made up is wrong.
@baronvonshekel7323 Жыл бұрын
@@galaxy_musicc don't get me wrong,if an artist releases an album with a certain theme (like using instruments and tunes you'd associate with a desert for example) and slaps "prehistoric/dino synth" on it,its his choice and valid in that regard but thats not the same as creating a whole sub-genre as no one follows trough and walks in the same direction.
@galaxy_musicc Жыл бұрын
you may be right when it comes to subgenres. But Carlos asked about styles and I think there is a big difference between a "style" and a full blown subgenre. You probably could put all of these examples in 5-6 subgenres. But they still have different styles or themes. The Artists just decided to name them.
@TheSquareOnes Жыл бұрын
@@galaxy_musicc That's actually a really interesting perspective. I'm on the side that says a subgenre should be well populated to be meaningfully useful, but even within genres artists can have very distinct styles and I could see value in putting a name to them (although I'd still want the greater subgenre given as well, since that's what will allow people to find related artists more easily). This especially makes sense as an approach to something like dungeon synth which is typically trying to evoke very specific imagery in a fairly minimalist way.

I've only been getting into dungeon synth very recently. I explored just about all types of metal music, everything from thrash to goregrind to warnoise, so I decided to look for something new. I'd been slightly exposed to dungeon synth through black metal but I hadn't checked it out proper. So far I'm absolutely adoring it. I love how it sounds so futuristic yet so pre-modern. It makes me feel the same way I felt when I first discovered atmospheric BM.
