I was worried about using rocks, I might get confused with a rock star.
I appreciate the support, please consider donating some quinoa seedlings, it really helps the channel grow and keeps my Sea Monkeys fed.

or a wanna be Be-bonker.
Rather, Be-bonk was a musical style long before rock was. Credit where credit is due, manā¦

Sometimes I listen to the last 30 seconds of The Call of Cthulhu by Metallica on a loop in my sleep. The ultimate in big rock endings.
I donāt know why anyone does big rock endings since that came out, they all sound shit after that.
Even to this day Iāve no idea who plays them drums, but it wasnāt bloody Lars, thatās for sure.
Just another of my thoughts.

I just donāt know why producers today donāt do something original, like for example sampling/remixing 80ās or 90ās tracks, or taking an old upbeat song and remaking it much slower, then get a vocalist to sing it in a really melancholy depressive way.
Reckon we could do with some new ideas like these.

Fading anything out or coming to a slow conclusion at all can get in the sea. Just make sure your guitar shorts the entire venue and club upstairs (preferably without killing the performers), turning off light, sound and competence all in one fell swoop of unexpected drama.
(A true story; not my guitar, I was just there to press play on the backing track CD, which is a technique that has obviously been completely overdone to death).

Think we need more synth pro youtubers proving that they drink too, I for one am convinced that most of them must be androids, as it is well known that drinks would short out their circuits. With the worrying rise of AI in recent years Iām always comforted when I see a youtuber proving their humanity with a beverage.

One of my favorite moments when iām feeling down is to listen to some classic stompy industrial or graver shit and the magicā¦ is in the vibe. The old stuff is not at all as dynamic as i remember.

Good thread. Feels like Iām joining a bit too late to give a serious reply, but I have no sense of humor, so enjoy.
I agree entirely with @darenager 's original list, but also think some of these tropes can become interesting when deliberately abused or turned sideways. Pitch-modulated shimmer sounds twisted, sidechaining can create almost physical dynamics when used more creatively than for lazy auto-mixing, compressors are awesome tools in feedback loops, random is alright on timbre but shit for rhythm and pitch, etc.
One thing Iāve gotten pretty sick of in contemporary electro is the snappy resonant unison detune bass with sequenced filter cutoff. Way fucking overdone on records from the likes of CPU, brokntoys, Mechatronica (NB: I really really like these labels). Explore more ideas for godās sake, the genre is wide open to weird timbres.
