Just browsing through some stuff on band camp today and ran across a couple really strange sub-genres and was wondering what other weird things were out there 
The two I saw today:
Witch House (for real)
Math Rock
WTF are these? What other sub-genres have you seen that just make no damn sense?
Youāve forgotten the low-hanging fruit tag there.
Along_the_Wire Hahaā¦fairā¦.I donāt know how to edit it, but if any mods wanna update, Iām good
Muscular House
Multi-Factor Authentication Techno
Battles are well worth checking out (math rock)
jonattonyeah If I saw that on Beatport Iād spurt in my strides.
Havenāt much else from them but remember Atlas being a tune
Think the first Foals album was considered math rock..
Resident advisor is an absolute hoot and terrific source of previously unknown genres.
āThis monthās guest mix comes from Terry Tongues Testicles, with a mix of absolute fire from the Peruvian Pigmy Funky Hempcore scene.ā
Not any worse than fucking āOrganic House.ā Absolute tripe with the tunes to match.
LOL yeah. Resident Advisor is the worst website on the internet.
Resistant adviser is so cool itās into music that hasnāt been released yet
Kells77 apparently āAggrotechā exists ā¦
Crust Punk/Stenchcore sounds fun too!
Went to see this lot in Brum a couple yrs agoā¦aggrotech, industrial rockā¦whatever, great live.
Itās like if The Prodigy was terrible.
jonattonyeah haha, well they have been for a while now
Yeah fair.
One other thing of Salemās I have to post just for how outrageous it is, taken from one of their EPs. Also fairly typical stylistically for the witch house genre as a whole.
Iām still not entirely sure if itās brilliant or ear-assaultingly offensive (though the video is great with it):
Kells77 the āhouseā part of the genre name is definitely misleading and a bit of a misnomer. The āwitchā part of the genre description makes sense as it was/is all very goth-y, with lots of dark, drone-y synths, and lots of satanic, occultist and medieval imagery.
Musically it is very firmly in the electronic music camp, but in form it has more in common with ambient and experimental electronica, though also sometimes trap, breakbeats, pop and even techno. I guess āwitch houseā just sounded cooler than say āwitch electronicaā and the house part was enough to just signify that it was electronic.
Phil-McRackin aggrotech
Alice Deejayās āBetter Off Aloneā is way, way better.
Kells77 Math Rock
I have less awareness of where math rock is or isnāt today, but remember when it first appeared and what it refers to - generally intricate, technical, rhythmic-focused, largely instrumental rock music. Itās a bit less of a coherent āsceneā than witch house was, and is/was more generally attached to a fairly broad range of bands albeit with some particular sound characteristics. I can kind of understand why the intricate, instrumental nature of it gained it the āmathā tag.
The band Battles were one of the first to have the tag attached to them (see below). This album came out on Warp actually.
The band āFoalsā were also described as math rock pretty often in their early years. The similarity in sound to Battles is fairly apparent.
Linear skynard and pink Floydās seminal The Long Division Bell are classics of the math rock genre in our houseā¦
-si- Math rock is a state of mind
So Trisco is math rock?
