Musical genres

(Shout out to ThatWhichNeverWas on the Forums, who listed some ideas for music in the world of EP which quickly set me off on the path to a lot of these concepts)

AETHERWAVE
Ethereal or haunting genre of music only completely appreciated by those with Enhanced Hearing.

BHANGRA POLKA

BIG BOLLY

Style popular on Luna and pushed by Experia - large performance bands with traditional instruments of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Works well with crowd dances.

HEBETUDE

Slow, relaxing, almost hypnotic electronic music, favorite for ambient sound or slow dances.

RETROBIT
Surprisingly deep musical genre which reimagines many classic sounds in early video game "midi" style. 

SCAVDUB

Music genre which plays pre-Fall styles of music on "scavenged" instruments, both replicas of existing styles or wholly unique constructs. Music in general plays to themes of memory and nostalgia.

SCUM TRIBAL

SYNTH RAGE
Electronic/synth music genre produced by recording synthmorph vocals, high on acoustic dissonance and social themes.

TWENCEN

"Genre" which includes popular music and music styles from the 20th century (particularly the last half), and includes remixes and mashups thereof.
