Back to the Future Day

Celebrated each November 5th, Back to the Future Day is our opportunity to recognize Doc Brown's discovery of the Flux Capacitor, the device that makes time travel possible. Back to the Future Day is celebrated by wishing everyone a Happy Back to the Future Day, and updating your social media networks statuses accordingly.

On November 5th, 1955, Dr. Emmet Lathrop Brown (Doc Brown to his friends), was attempting to hang a clock in his bathroom. As he reached over, he lost his footing , slipped from the toilet that he was standing on, and struck his head against the side of the sink.

Unconscious, Doc had a vision. And that vision was that of a Flux Capacitor — the device that makes time travel possible.

Requiring 1.21 gigawatts of electrical power and to be moving at a speed of 88 mph (142 km/h) the Flux Capacitor allows one to move forward or backwards in time.

Dr. Emmet Brown, on this day in history, we salute you, and remember your red letter date in the history of science!
Back to the Future Day: The Origin Story
Dr. Emmett Brown: Then tell me, "Future Boy", who's President in the United States in 1985?
Marty McFly: Ronald Reagan.
Dr. Emmett Brown: Ronald Reagan? The actor? Then who's VICE-President? Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady!
Marty McFly: Whoa! Wait! Doc!
Dr. Emmett Brown: And Jack Benny is Secretary of the Treasury.
Marty McFly: Doc, you gotta listen to me.
Dr. Emmett Brown: I've had enough practical jokes for one evening. Good night, Future Boy!
Marty McFly: No, wait! Doc. Doc. The-the-the bruise - the bruise on your head. I know how that happened! You told me the whole story. You were standing on your toilet, and you were hanging a clock, and you fell, and you hit your head on the sink. And that's when you came up with the idea for the Flux Capacitor... Which... is what makes time travel possible....

Future Bass

A subgenre of trap music. Most of the time it has more melodic elements than regular traps. Some major features are:
1. Stabby chords (Short chords)
2. Chord Progression tends to end in group of 3s.
3. Lots of mini-sounds such as creaking bed, water droplet, hey chant or any chants in general, gunshots, etc.
4. Trap elements and 808 usage such as hihats or snare rolls. A good 808 subbass can be orgasmic
5. While the name is future bass it doesn't have to be based on the bass (no pun intended). It can instead focus on the mid-end of the spectrum.
6. Trap bpm ranging from 100-160 (Note: these are frequent bpm. There may be outliers.)
7. MODULATIONS. Add some volume or filter modulation on the chords and bam the song is future as fuck.
8. A good way to differentiate between trap and future bass is by identifying the melody. Usually trap music doesn't focus on melody while future bass does. Usually.
9. Arpeggiated chords are common among future bass songs. But then again any genre can use arp, just not regular trap.

These are only a handful of features I can think up on the top of my head and im pretty sure there are more. This is only a guideline thus future bass can vary greatly from these features. If you can check a few boxes on this list then I betcha the song is future bass.
