Errr.. I appear to have written a thing. About #BonkWave, no less. And #NotBonkWave by association.

It's a personal perspective - please let me know if you think I misrepresented anything.

in reply to keef • • •but what is bonkwave? Is there a representative work?
Like, if you want to know about Vaporwave, I would paste for you a Macintosh Plus playlist I know of on youtube, because while it may or may not represent the entirety of the genre, it definitely represents the most important aspects of it.
I've been trying to find this for bonkwave.
edit: please don't ask me to sort out what is sarcasm and what is not when the thing says not bonkwave
maybe this is like, bonkwave's White Album where it's totally avant garde or else just weird rather than, you know, a rock'n'roll album. How would I know?

if you read the (admittedly long and boring) blog post linked above, you'll see that what you're asking for is, by definition, not possible!
I suggest seeking more answers by listening to the "Not What I Call Bonk Wave" compilations which you can find here: bonkwave.org/music - these are as definitive as it gets.
There's a radio station here: not.what.i.call.radio.bonkwave⦠also available via The Indie Beat FM.

in reply to keef • • •I did try to read it, but it seemed to be mostly concerned with the process of assembling a compilation, rather than explaining anything about the (proposed?) genre classification, or its features.
That said, I can say, from a quick scan of the vol 1 comp that Bonkwave is a sample-based subgenre of techno music. You could tell people that.

in reply to keef • • •Please
What is the point of its existence. I need to know.
All I get from its advocates is refusal to say. It's rather trollish, quite honestly, and I think I'm gonna filter the word at this point.
