hugopal Different genres have different characteristics.

Yup, I’m not arguing otherwise, it’s not necessary about genres themselves. My point was that you seem to be anally retentive about other peoples descriptions of those characteristics within a given genre, when in fact it’s all subjective.

One man’s heads down tops off ram banger is another man’s honky-tonk soft cock house.

      mono-stereo when in fact it’s all subjective.

      It’s not entirely subjective though given that, as we’ve both agreed, different genres have different characteristics.

      Sure, but considering the term “banger” clearly derives from the notion of something which makes a “bang”, e.g. fireworks, guns, etc., I’d say that the louder, more energetic and more violent a track is, the more legitimate a claim it has to being described as such. In a similar way that a magnum revolver makes more of a “bang” than say a paintball gun.

      Also, the term “banger” is partly, but not always entirely, independent of genre. For instance there can be drum & bass, or dubstep tracks where the term “banger” could seem to reasonably be applied, though they’re still drum & bass, or dubstep, as opposed to techno.

      But as I’ve alluded to previously, I doubt there’s even anyone on Earth who has ever called stuff like Zero 7 or Boards of Canada “bangers”. Same could also probably be applied to say, Hed Kandi/Kaskade style deep house stuff as well. So clearly there is a line somewhere, or a spectrum with a blurry line, and the further along that spectrum, or away from that line, the more reasonable the claim sounds.

      But for the record, most of the stuff you guys post on here is “honky-tonk soft cock house”.

            Yes Hugo. 🤪

              I’m not talking about different genres, I’m talking about the individuals interpretation on how cardinal ram banging a tune is, which is clearly subjective.

                  But some genres are by their nature more likely to sound like a “banger” than others.

                    Finally got round to listening to this, probably won’t listen to it again but I did enjoy track 15 which has been id’ed as Sasha & Laura - Burnt Letters.

                          Me thinks not, probably Brando’s best performance.
