I create songs in the genre I created, gribbleschnift. Why would I want to create a new genre? Partly for fun and partly simply because the world needs gribbleschnift. I look on the music subreddits and see page after page of people discussing nerdy details of mixing and mastering and prioritising perfectionism and a polished end product over style and originality. My approach to music is don’t bother learning how to work the equipment properly, throw a load of stuff at the page, see what sticks and create some entertaining chaos. This is the essence of gribbleschnift.

Here are the parameters of the genre: -

1. If there aren’t drums fucking everywhere and it doesn’t sound like two or more songs are playing at the same time, it isn’t gribbleschnift.

2. GS is a sample-based genre. If you’re bothered about infringing copyright, it isn’t the genre for you. There is no plagiarism in gribbleschnift. Want to rip off substantial chunks of other people’s songs? Feel free. If you’re the type of person who wants to make everything from scratch or even worse actually learn an instrument, GS isn’t for you. 

3. If you rigorously mix and master your songs or are bothered about the fine details like things looping properly then GS isn’t for you. 

4. GS should sound chaotic. It should also involve repetition. It’s about layering things and creating an interesting texture.

5. It should be listenable even if weird and chaotic. It’s music, not noise.

6. GS should take you on a journey - but not one with sign posts and maps, one where things just randomly turn up unannounced and you think wtf is that doing here?

7. These are not hard and fast rules, more the general spirit of GS.
