Shoutout to @grimreapersprintā for actually exploring/explaining each of these in our discord! Here are her findings:
Dirtstep - technically yes, and it sounds exactly like what you would expectĀ
Grassgaze - I found one song and itās strangely ominousĀ
Leprechrust - No, which honestly surprises meĀ
Flowerviolence - real and sounds like crapĀ
Shroom Nā Bass- This is just Hardbass with extra stepsĀ
Moss Rock - sounds kind of like older bluegrass listened to from a distant cavern except extremely loudĀ
Shiny Rock - Sounds like if you gave a Nirvana cover band a fistful of molly and shroomsĀ
Garden Core - Sufjan Stevens on a near-lethal dose of XanaxĀ
Cavern Core - Sounds like cookie monster started a garage band in an abandoned aircraft hangerĀ
Treewave - The one song I found sounds like getting a severe concussion in the middle of a house trackĀ
Birdsong - gentle chirping backed by a hurdy-gurdy the size of a volkswagen beetleĀ
Whistle Choir - Unable to disambiguateĀ
Subterranean Folk - yes if you count underground folk, which absolutely sounds like gnome musicĀ
Dark Underground - this sounds what executive dysfunction feels likeĀ
Deep Underground - Hardbass with fewer steps OR chugging an entire bottle of cough syrup and then trying to pull off a jazz drum solo while someone plays a keytar in the backgroundĀ
Earth Metal - Just because you CAN daisy-chain three distortion pedals together doesnāt mean that you SHOULD.Ā
Star Metal - This is actually kind of a complicated subject and beyond the scope of this reviewĀ
Rootbop - no, which is a shameĀ
Meadowpunk - found one song about bitching about condosĀ
Solarpunk - Noting the above exception, most ā-punkā musics are different genres with songs about/atmospherically designed to fit the aesthetic of what is more of a social/visual aestheticĀ
Ā Moonpunk - See above, but if it existed it would sound like rockabillyĀ
Ā Stump Stomp -No, which is kind of a shame, reallyĀ
Ā Woodwind - literally a category of instruments
