bytebeat 

Bytebeat is a term referring to a form of algorithmic music or sound generation. It involves creating music or sound by directly manipulating bytes of data, typically in the form of simple mathematical expressions or algorithms that generate audio waveforms. Bytebeat compositions often consist of short, repetitive sequences of sound that emerge from the interaction of the mathematical expressions with the byte data.

Bytebeat gained popularity in the demoscene and among algorithmic music enthusiasts due to its simplicity and the intriguing results that can be achieved with minimal code. It's often associated with low-level programming languages like C and assembly, as well as with retro computing platforms.

Bytebeat compositions can vary widely in style and complexity, ranging from simple loops of beeps and tones to more complex and melodic sequences. The appeal of bytebeat lies in its ability to produce interesting and unexpected sounds using very concise code, making it a unique form of creative expression within the realm of algorithmic music.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
