I've been a Worlds End Girlfriend fan for a while now, hes a musical genius imo. But I've run into a problem, i'm absolutely obsessed with this song of his but he doesn't have anything that even comes close to being like it and I don't know the name of the genre so I cant even search for it. Ive searched things like Avant Garde and Scream but still no cigar.



Someone help a fellow lover of music?

Thank you in advance!

What in the world...? And I thought some of my music tastes were strange. Anyway, check out the "similar artists" section on their last.fm page -- for something like this a single genre with a one-word name is probably not a helpful characterization.

Holy shit that song's going to give me nightmares lol. Ummmm. I have no clue what to classify that as. I'd say you're trolling but you seem so sincere. I can't see how ANYBODY could possibly enjoy music like this but I guess you're an exception. I mean in the beginning its got those distant children sounds that you hear in horror movies. Is horror a music genre?

From wikipedia:
electronica, classical music, and post-rock

RateYourMusic says:
Post-Rock, IDM, Modern Classical, Film Soundtrack, Film Score, Glitch, Experiment

Last.fm tags:
post-rock, experimental, japanese, electronic, ambient

I'd say it's electronic, ambient, post-rock and experimental (if that's a genre) from that one song, but I'm not an expert...

^What in the actual fuck.
I was about to say this isn't music it's a compilation of irritating noise.

If in doubt, "experimental." =X

I also would like someone to name this genre for me too:

Sometimes I wonder if this is what people back then heard when they first encountered Stravinsky.

Do you not hear the constant piano? the soothing strings? Its a different kind of music, I didn't like it until i forced myself to listen to it a couple times. Now I cant get enough. Just listen, you'll be surprised what happens when you have an open mind.

And thank you everyone for all the responses! much love!

Try some "modern" classical. Not exactly the same, but similar ambience/mood.

Reminds me a little bit of some musique concrete hah. Denis Dufour does kinda similar stuff pretty well. Really difficult to find some that's worth listening to though.

The actual music is being drowned out in screams and noise.
Only thing that this "song" is meant to do is cause a feeling of discomfort.

Just to disprove this, you can see When i posted I had 1336, posted 2nd time 1337, and to utterly disprove im posting now. Bringing me finally away from 1337. Honestly its funny you said that because I only noticed it after I made that second post. Honestly, im not trolling and im grateful for all of you who have responded with alike music!

You won't get the random noise drowning out the music, but if you like music with a bit of an eerie feel, I'd recommend the "Blue Gender" OSTs. OST1 will ocassionally add in some Japanese vocals, so you might prefer OST 2. However, it's hard to find samples of OST2 online without getting into torrents.

I did find a few:
+ Show Spoiler +

OST 2


OST 3


OST 1





It's also a pretty good anime if you watch it from start to finish. Much more brutal than most.

edit: Specifically try to find Static or Blue Illusion, they sound a lot like what you linked, minus the garbage drowning it out.
Playing better than standard requires deviation. This divergence usually results in sub-standard play.
