Seapunk



So, have you every wished you were an underwater person? An underwater person who listened to house music all the time and had huge crazy underwater themed rave parties? I think about that kind of thing all the time. And now it's a reality. Apparently, there is a growing trend of musicians making underwater inspired dance music. They've been taking over hip dance clubs in Chicago and LA, in particular Chicago's Berlin Club. People are saying that the trend has grown out of chillwave and witch-house, which makes sense. What happens when you mix the jukey, ravey tendencies of witch-house with the beachy tendencies of chillwave? Seapunk, I guess... Anyway, it's pretty cool. Fire For Effect and Zombelle are the two main musicians in the genre at the moment. Both are currently based in Chicago. Of course, with new microgenres come new wardrobes, so dye your hair turquoise and take all that black, pagan-emblembed, witch-house shit you've been wearing and dye that shit turquoise too.
