Trixie, what are your thoughts on the hit subgenre, Moombahcore? It's a bit of a unknown genre, you probably won't know it
i can't tell if this ask is sarcastic or not so i'm going to answer it as if it's sincere.
i've known about moombahcore since i was 13, which was 14 years ago in 2012. i discovered it because of when i got into skrillex and how that led me down the path of discovering festival oriented edm genres.
moombahcore was a development from moombahton, which itself was a development off of reggaeton and other dembow oriented latin subgenres. moombahton is more adjacent to dutch house music, and was pioneered primarily by nada and dillon francis, and arose partially through slowing down 128bpm dutch house songs to be between 100-115bpm.
moombahcore developed from there, though it usually drops the dembow beat and reggaeton inspired percussion, fusing with the brostep-heavy edm scene with its growls and processed 909's (or similar) that were ripe for the picking in the early 2010's. bangarang is a great example of a moombahcore song that most people will probably be familiar with: it's a midtempo (110bpm) brostep song which checks the boxes to make it moombahcore.
the earliest available moombahcore in my own discography is "Vinyl vs Tavi" from mid-2013.
but now i'm going to air out a thought i have that i think frequently. i've watched a lot of videos that attempt to categorize songs into a single genre, and i have seen the one you're showing in the screenshot. most of them usually are pretty gravely wrong about things. so i think its usually a bad idea to take them at face value.
protagonist syndrome is not actually moombahcore. and even assuming it was, it still confuses me why it was included in a "hardcore techno subgenre" compilation, because it's not relevant to that at all. and i remember there being enough tangential genres included in that video that really just makes it come off as a parody rather than a resource for anyone to consider.
it's not 100% inaccurate to describe protagonist syndrome as moombahcore, because it has like 4 brostep growls. but its actually moombahton, not moombahcore. its far more influenced by the latin subgenres like reggaeton and cumbia, and by jamaican genres like dancehall. it doesn't incorporate processed 909 style edm drums, rather it arranges the reggaeton style ones dembow-wise. and while it has the brostep elements, they take up a minuscule section of the drops, and the drops aid a lot in determining festival-edm oriented subgenres.
i think the layperson doesn't usually need to be concerned with genre accuracy like i am. like the average person doesn't really need to care. but what i will pick a bone with is people who are trying to educate other people on genres and are boldly inaccurate without inquisition. this includes me, i love being wrong about a genre and getting to do the research to adjust my understanding. but i think a lot of these genre labeling videos on youtube are hosted by people who don't really know what they're talking about or do any actual research beyond preliminary, stereotypical, or vaguely informed impressions. luckily the distinction between moombahton and moombahcore is not an enormous deal to me at the end of the day because they're already both very-white takes on latin music, so interchanging them with each other wouldn't be as bad as interchanging moombahton with reggaeton, for example.
anyway yea i know what moombahcore is.
