Future Bass

A genre of electronic music involving but not limited to:
1) filtered/modulated saw synths that can be detuned, with gliding pitch, with multiple voices to make it that crispy supersaw frequently used by Flume and Illenium. This can be used for chords, plucks, or leads.

2) Brassy sounds for synths or bass. Just make sure it's detuned and glidey.
3) Arpeggiated plucks for accompaniment.

4) Reese bass or some other detuned, low-passed bass. Often 808's.

5) Trap-influenced drums/percussion with toms dispersed with the kicks and snares. Impacts can help with the impact of the drop.

6) BPM 90-160. Usually between 90 and 130. The higher ranges are often associated with future bass sub-genres like Kawaii Future Bass or future trap.

7) White noise and heavy buildup with cutoffs opening up leading to drop.

9) Very focused on melody and chords.

10) Can have vocalists but not necessary. Can even have rappers.
Me: Bruh, you shoulda been at that concert. The crowd banged to that future bass Flume drop.

Boss: Oh did they? Well how about I bang you out of this job for being absent all week long!

Pseudopredictive future-past

A verb tense exclusively and habitually used by sports commentators. Despite sounding exactly like future tense, this tense is used to describe recent past events to give the illusion that said event was predicted by the sportscaster.
"...and Pujols will rip a foul one into the outfield!" exclaimed the televised play-by-play commentator, immediately after it was over and everyone could clearly that it already happened. World Series viewers everywhere rolled their eyes at the constant and annoying use of pseudopredictive future-past.

Industrial society and its future

"May I sit there?"
"That's my lap?"
"I know"
"Industrial Society and Its Future, by Theodore Kaczynski.
INTRODUCTION
1. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have
been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly
increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in
“advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society,
have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings
to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and
have inflicted severe damage on the natural world."

Future Funk

FIRST WAT THE FUNK is FUTURE FUNK!?

Funk is latin for FUMIGARE which means to smoke which later evolved into meaning something smelly and smoky... kinda like DANK ASS KUSH!!!*AIR HORN SIRENS*

Funk is also a term used by African American JAZZ musicians in the 60s for a genre of music in which musicians would GET DOWN and boogy! This of course happens when you let the spirit of JAZZ inside your booty - it can be fun when its consensional. Funk music was mainly popular in the 70s along with DISCO and afros and bell bottom pants with the boots with the fur the whole club was staring at her this music made people hit the floor next thing ya know shawty got low then in the 80s the drum machine and synthesizer changed FUNK forever

Lets also not forget Disco Demolition Night in 79 where 50000 people blew up discofunk records in the name of ROCK MUSIC Ya know just a bunch of white people blowing up AfricanLatinGay roots music rituallistically infront of the eyes of millions on television - Im sure that didn't have any long lasting repurcussions of any kind
Afterwards funk kinda died for 30 years because most record labels didn't wanna pay black bands anymore cuz with the rising popularity of rap music it was easier to pay one rapper than a whole band - ya know systematic racial economics. Basically FUTURE FUNK! is like Vaporwaves more outgoing trendy cousin who likes to go to the beach while drinking Pepsis in a vintage bikini while driving a 1985 red corvette in TOYKO yo
Frank: Hey have you listened to that future funk song Selfish High Heels?

Skylar: That one by YUNG BAE? yah I've listened to it. its some goodshit
