Mellowstep?

Assuming both genres and sub-genres are real, here's a mellowstep track: http://www.salacioussongs.com/audio/Clare%20Maguire%20-%20Aint%20Nobody%20(Breakage%20Remix).mp3

Yes, the beat is still of a dubstep pattern. However, this is a pretty chill song, without any crazy drops or wobbles. Furthermore, I really enjoy the vocals, although I think they're much better in the second half of the song.

It's going to be OK.

My favorite Simon and Garfunkel song. Of all times.



Lyrics:
April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain;
May, she will stay,
Resting in my arms again

June, she´ll change her tune,
In restless walks she´ll prowl the night;
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight.

August, die she must,
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold;
September I´ll remember.
A love once new has now grown old.

I hardly ever listen to metal anymore, but when I do Death (yes, that's a band name) is one of the first bands I turn to.

Hardcore

I'm aware this might not go over well, but this song acquaints us with another style of music we haven't really heard this year or last. This sound is usually genre-lized (I know Dave, your favorite) as "hardcore." It's usually characterized by short, heavy-hitting songs with emotive, almost tortured vocals and "do-it-yourself" production. The song I'll post here is a fairly good example of all of these characteristics. A couple of things to notice: the aggression in the music/vocals, the brevity of the song (what's the point?), and the "build-up" dynamic evident in the song (does it make the "heavier" sections even "heavier"?).

Or you might just hate it.

When you click on the link it will take you to the last.fm page for the song. On the page it will say "Play direct from Departures (2:09)" with a play sign to the left of that. Click it.
