Seapunk (more in-depth)

[Imaginary Vice]

The Attentive Teen knows that tumblr and twitter aren't just social networking timekillers: they're ways of life. Recently a new buzz has been slipped into the main, and the watchword is #SEAPUNK. Pioneered by rising Los Angeles musicians Shan Beaste (Zombelle), Albert Redwine (Fire For Effect) and Sean Bowie (teams), the microgenre is still wearing training wheels, but it's already starting to gather speed. With connections that range from Scottish 8-bit hero Unicorn Kid to the based hip-hop collective Ocean Gang, seapunk is at that perfect level where the sound is still undefined, but immediately recognizable.

It's hard to say what the first splash was; it could have been the Tropicult EP Zombelle released with fellow swimmer Myrrh Ka Ba in July. It might be the frequent postings about aquatic lifestyles that Lil' Wayne did a while back. Or maybe it's just fun to create stuff like this. Regardless, seapunk is looking like it might not just be another music-meme: the recently-created Coral Records already has a compilation for sale, featuring artists like Le1f, Slava, and of course teams, Fire For Effect and available soon. Summer may be over, but the ocean is forever. Up the seapunks!

This reminds me of Steampunk:
It sucked, it was a cultural failure, and it died hard and fast.

i'm not comparing the aesthetics..I'm comparing the reaction to it from people.
Most of these small cultural scenes have a cult following, and that usually entails that it sucks.
I actually gave Fire For Effect a try. I highly dislike him.
Unicorn kid is just......no.
I really don't see this erupting into the mainstream.

Yeah, but it's different with those genres, since they already have a standard sound, and they already have growing subcultures.
Chillwave is especially loved by hipsters, whom are so mainstream, that theyaren't even hipsters anymore.
Goth is still a growing subculture, continuously evolving. Witch House is just one of those stages of evolution.
House is mainly played at parties, and any party nowadays. There's no standard subculture for all House. Hard House is mainly played at raves. Otherwise, there's no standard subculture for it.
And Hardcore what, exactly? Hardcore Techno? Post-Hardcore? Hardcore Punk? Metalcore? Hardcore Rap?

Hardcore techno I would say that Seapunk isnt cult at all there are a lot of mainstream seapunk
mixes for instance mishka has the occupy mix tape by ultrademon/fire for effect and if you dont know mishka it is LA based inferring you should google if you dont already know), but either way Seapunk is a micro genre as there is seapunk house, rap, and dnb not to mention whatever UK calls his music
