Genregender: when your gender is related to certain genre(s) of writing in some way. Also an umbrella for any genric gender identity, such as fantagender and scifigender, literary subgender examples.

Similar to bookgender, it stands more for literature’s genres than music, film/television/movie and video game genres, since there are already terms for them, such as moviegender, showgender, musigender and gamegender. 

Not to be confused with gendergender. ~ap

- vocoded whistling mimicking bird calls

- sampled birdsong

- complex 'call and response' style instrumentation

- album covers that include bird skeleton diagrams and track listing that use the scientific name for various birds

- actually a subgenre of industrial/EBM

- lyrical themes of knowledge and discovery, nature worship, and birds

the book “the Microgenre”, and let me post a quick pic of the index table:

Shatter is a style of glitch music that borrows heavily from riddim and brostep

Shatter is almost never in (straight) 4/4, Opting instead for odd time or polymeter.

In spite of this, shatter is quite rhythmic, lacking any real melody or harmony in favor of complex rhythms that loop.

Shatter is so called because the drops often sound like the song itself is being broken or torn apart.

Shatters drops tend to be a bit longer than standard dubstep drops, and only happen once per song, usually towards the end.

Shatter album covers are fairly abstract, using glitch art and datamoshed images

Shatter drums are usually pretty thin, until the drop, where they become incredibly heavy

A very stripped back style of ambient/drone

often uses asmr inducing sounds

features pure sine waves as leads

Uses field recordings of protests and nature, often chopped or gated

uses solid colors for album covers
