Definition: A uniquely Russian musical genre that emerged from the abyss of post-Soviet panel buildings, where hardcore depression meets the power of beats.
Example: "Deep Holz is like the soundtrack to your existential crisis, but with a good techno drop. It's the only genre where you can dance away your post-communist woes while contemplating the futility of existence. In other words, it's a party with a side of soul-crushing despair, and Russians do it best."

In a sentence: "I was feeling a bit too cheerful, so I put on some Deep Holz to remember the crumbling Soviet era and embrace my inner doomer. Now I'm questioning the meaning of life, but at least I'm doing it to a sick beat."
