An evolving genre of electronic music. Often combines instrumental/orchestral leads with extremely fast and complex beats and rapidfire melodies. Stays at the extremes in terms of tone; either so upbeat it makes you sad out of jealousy at how upbeat it is, or just plain scary and depressing. Not very well-known in the musical world, as there are very few artist who actually produce it. However, its fast beats and complicated melodies have made it very popular in rhythm games such as Osu. Made by xi, ICE, Sakuzyo, occasionally by Yooh, and a few other, mostly Japanese composers. A pretty good pick for anyone who likes classical music but thinks it lacks power, or people who like DnB but think it lacks melodic variety. Sometimes combined with speedcore or trance. The only problem is that you sound super pretentious when you say it.
