parallels between drum and bass and rock/metal

Post by AutumnCheney »

just a shower thought i had: i had the idea of finding parallels between the various subgenres of drum and bass and rock/metal

of course these parallel genres exist for entirely different reasons and aim to do completely different things, but whatever, this was just a fun idea i had

genre names taken from rym unless noted, not at all scientific or comprehensive, nonetheless let me know your thoughts

dancefloor drum and bass - heavy metal/nwobhm
darkstep - death metal
drumfunk - math rock
jazzstep - jazz-rock
jump-up - hard rock/glam rock
jungle - rock & roll
neurofunk - technical death metal
techstep - industrial rock
trancestep - power metal
sewerslvt et al (not a real genre but nonetheless quite influential in dnb nowadays) - shoegaze
skullstep - dissonant death metal

honorable mentions (not strictly dnb)

faster algorave - jam band
artcore (the branch of j-core that occasionally uses dnb rhythms) - symphonic/neoclassical metal
breakcore - grindcore
digital hardcore - hardcore punk
drill 'n' bass - probably djent
faster glitch/idm - post-rock
