Metamodernism Posts

A new genre or style is emerging in the modern, always-on world of music that kids are connected to in the 21st century. Something completely new but built with recognizable bits of lots of other things. If people hear it without knowing about all the various influences that are getting poured into it, it seems like a joke. But it’s not only serious, it’s making something completely new that demands a new genre tag to shape the conversation around it.
