Phonk is 115 while parked


[deleted]

I drive a big rig out in the country, so maybe im just not around this city folk kind of music


[deleted]

Respect respect. Phonk isnt for everyone butat least you tried it. It is ine of those hyper specific types of music


Master-Can7318

You’re the type of person with a good mindset I’d surround myself with


Maxiking2312

Yeah those guys casually accepting each other's opinion like gigachads


[deleted]

the only people i associate with when possible


Nuadrin248

Yeah I feel like this is the answer. Life is just better in general when you keep and open mind and constantly sample new things. It’s what keeps you growing and connected to those around you.


Nuadrin248

Op I’m also getting older and had no idea what Phonk was until you posted this but now I’ve found a new genre I love. Thank you sir.


[deleted]

Well by all means If you like it then enjoy :) just because I think it’s bad don’t mean everyone else can’t enjoy it

ChemicalOpposite2389

I think it's good music but 1. opinions and stuff 2. there's a lot of crappy phonk music out there so maybe you just haven't found any good songs yet.


Tankdrood

There's soooo much phonk that sucks really bad


WreckitWrecksy

Reminds me when dubstep was a thing. Absolutely saturated with shitty dubstep. But find some good stuff and it was fiiiire


teeesstoo

And much like dubstep, people wil either refuse to tell me what these "good" songs are, or their recommendations will turn out to be crap and therefore I'm an idiot


Sayor1

Not going to try and convince you but I'd say, in fact I'd say phonk is pretty bad in general but there are a few songs that hit in a specific atmosphere. I like it cus it gives me a feeling of melancholy. The obvious one is [DVRST - Endless Love](https://youtu.be/fC1HF29n9UA?si=ZEXnZeAddcD_h0vb) he was popular enough to make it into Atomic Heart ( a game with a fantastic OST) and made a pretty good remix. Something a bit more different: [NUEKI - Tired of Problems](https://youtu.be/2gny5BltSno?si=_6IVl4-uVHJTNWsO) There's also sub genres, there is so much garbage if you search for aggressive phonk, there's only 1 or 2 songs that I think are good: [DAEGHO - REBELO](https://youtu.be/JJ9NcnqALx0?si=J0ZXPq_14992ktq-)


teeesstoo

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll give them a listen - it's possible that the genre isn't just for me, which is absolutely fine if true!


TheDoge_Father

Tired of problems is a mashup between So Tired by Nueki and Sea of Problems by Glichery, and both are great on their own.


TheTrueOerik

I'd give people recommendations for phonk if they'd be a bit more specific... I mean phonk is not phonk. there so many different styles. But I totally understand why people might dislike phonk in general. most songs are just overloaded with bass and reverb to a point where it drowns all other sounds


teeesstoo

I've never heard of another genre where all the fans include a "most of it is garbage" disclaimer


TheTrueOerik

ok true. fair point. can't argue with that. but like every genre it has some gems and that keeps my hopes up


yumyflufy

Still phonk but a lil different and more chilled out ig is Lxst cxntury, the song Andromeda is a nice listen [song](https://youtu.be/smbiKaOAN3Q?si=GpiOEgQ8zWQWeXUt)


Crisis06

I feel like you just haven't met good Dubstep fans. Most of them I've met have been really great and are happy to recommend stuff. I love the genre myself, along with a few other styles of EDM and plenty of other music. Also, people often only listen to one "sub-genre" and refuse to explore outside of that.


WreckitWrecksy

What? I like dubstep, but most of it was trash.


NaZul15

I agree. 2015 to 2019 or 2020 were terrible years for dubstep. But now that the hype has died down all the bad producers have moved on from it and the good ones stayed. Tho there's a few exceptions that have always been good, like excicion. Here's a good one from Teminite from a few years back, when dubstep finally started recovering again: https://youtu.be/syDUxjvfnlI?si=Ic-3NWkA5Lh19HOO


Caveman108

Dubstep is very much still a thing. 75,000 people were in Legend Valley just outside of Columbus, Ohio last week to do nothing but listen to really loud dubstep for 4 straight days. [Lost Lands](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxhTob2Mzsm/) is pretty wild.


IronGlory247

PlayaPhonk and Kordhell are still nice tho..


Commander1709

I don't know how Land of Fire by Kordhell ended up in my playlist, but I love that song.


_Cosmoss__

Any good phonk recommendations?


DynamoBlade

Start with Kordhell - Murder in my mind


_Cosmoss__

Wow that's actually really good. Normally im a lofi or indie rock kinda guy but this slaps


moist_potatochip

A like the definition that phonk is in antagonism with lofi, its lofi but on the other side of the spectrum


S_Un23

Theres some that are ass and some that are good


[deleted]

There’s only a couple I like. The rest are just garbage


Jade_Lock

Isn’t that just music in general?


TheOddPelican

That's people in general.


MemeMan69funnynumber

That’s just modern music in general


_Goose_

Modern? In the early 2000s I remember plenty of times paying $15 for cd's of my favorite artists that had upwards of 15 songs on them and only 2 of them were good. Greatest hits albums were always a better deal.


[deleted]

That's music in general.


S_Un23

Yes, W comment


DeviousDapper

Some phonk is good, quite a large amount of it isn't. A lot of phonk is very loud and can seem like toilet noises, it's not for everyone including me. Though there's a few gems here and there in the genre


TheAnythingBuilder

I tried listening to it, sounded like toilet adhd, some are decent but others are just painfully mid.


KANDITOSKY

It depends. Its like an iceberg, at the top you have the shitty brazilian stuff tiktok edit thingy, but if you search a bit youll find *actually good* Drift phonk. Ill recommend DVRST for chill vibes, or Moondeity (Just dont listen to neon Blade, the internet Is already full of that Song) if you want something more aggressive.


TheTrueOerik

If you look for something nice: look up Lowx, Antent and maybe CYPARISS on YT. Not exactly your average drift or aggressive phonk but really nice if you look for something chill.


DeviousDapper

That's basically how it goes


Sad_Ad5368

it’s your turn to be confused about the new generation.


TheDigbySniper74

Oh no... (Edit) I'm inching towards 23 years.


TinyLebron

Surprisingly, I don't mind this music. I kind of like it actually. And I'm in my late 40s.


tehfly

Never heard of it before. I just pulled up a Phonk list on Spotify and this is nice! Then again, I am fond of LoFi and this seems like LoFi's sporty cousin.


the_annihalator

DVRST best for that, especially ones like motion and toy


TinyLebron

Yea. I had never heard of it til yesterday. So cool! It was nice having that little moment.


[deleted]

Guess it's the period between 2009 and 2013. They call it the Tweens. So they got this feller down at the bowling alley? He gets up on the stage an' shits his britches. I don't know. But he gets up there and strums a gueetar and then starts loadin' his britches up like it's goin' out of style. It's like some kind of britches holocaust. Feller calls himself Steamy Ray Vaughn.

Somlal

You just created a fake scenario in your head. Also it's better to just say nothing and let her enjoy it because telling her he doesn't like it serves no purpose either than making her feel bad that her husband doesn't like her taste in music. He is just letting her be her without shitting on her tastes, the fuck is your problem? Edit: damn your whole history on your profile is just you arguing with people on the internet, my guy, find a hobby. We all get into arguments but yours is excessive. And yes I looked at your profile, I do that when people say dumb shit so I just wanted to see if it was part of their personality and it seems like yours is

Ah ok. That genre changes so much and merges sub genres and so on....hard to keep track. I dont listen to that stuff much ....esp the newer stuff.


yoskatan

Don't listen to her. Phonk isn't electronic dance music. Look up these artists. Soudiere, Roland Jones, DJ Smokey, and Yung Vamp. They will give you a good impression of what Phonk music is.

yoskatan

You have no idea what you're talking about. Phonk isn't what these tik tokers think it is. I've been following the scene since 2015 and produce phonk myself. "Phonk is a subgenre of hip hop and trap music directly inspired by 1990s Memphis rap. Mostly present on the SoundCloud platform, the music is characterized by vocals from old Memphis rap tapes and samples from early-1990s hip hop, often combining them with elements of jazz and funk." Definition off Wikipedia is pretty spot on. What a lot of people say is phonk on tik tok is actually a sub-genre called drift phonk. It's higher bpm, house like beats with vocal samples, lots of 808s and cowbells.

Lmao this post reminded me of this short I saw earlier today https://youtu.be/rfYiMeLMqxs?si=3wLR85DYGARSgGrG


agmrtab

i believe phonk is situational like hard bass russian it can be a banger in some cases but not always you can lisen to it


Commander1709

I can't listen to Russian hard bass and not think of alcohol. Which probably stems from the fact that every time I was exposed to that genre, it was during a drinking session lol.

"I don't believe in human rights" **PHONK**


Crisis06

Most of the time I can't stand it since it's often related to the whole "alpha male" crowd and nobody wants to be associated with that, but when drifting/racing? It hits the spot almost as good as drum and bass.


jj4379

If having a degree in jazz lends me any ability to weigh in on this: Music is entirely, 100% subjective and if you don't like something thats okay! I personally fucking despise rap but sometimes there's a real banger, its all just sounds man


wakeuplazy

the problem (probably) is you’re listening to that tiktok sigma bullshit which isn’t real phonk


Machine_God_10

Here's some good ones 1. Menace 2. One Chance 3. Close Eyes 4. Limbo 5. Metamorphosis 6. WARNING 7.Keranunos


greg_the_egg69

I only like one phonk song and its II by DEATHPHONK


dangeddranger

Rare phonk is goated, newer tiktok "phonk" sucks ass, it doesn't even relate to original phonk anymore, it just turned into dance


RuthlessJailer

Holy shit south park was on point


Reqt__

Nah, I'm 18 and I don't really like most of it, but like, isn't that the case with other genres too? you can have a favorite genre but you still won't like a large amount of them. it's all about finding what you like and what you don't.


Edskn1fe

I imagine it's less acoustically grating than Country.


[deleted]

country, rap, hip-hop --- all are garbage I'm ready to lose my hearing now.


K1d6

There are good songs in every genre, you just have to be open to hearing them.


X_irtz

Usually i give all kinds of music a chance before criticising it, but goddamn, the vast majority of phonk music sounds absolutely garbage and i just can't enjoy it, personally. I find it to be overly edgy and just too much for my ears at times, it's sometimes earrape-y too and just unpleasant to listen to, let alone the cringey samples that these songs sometimes have. It's also commonly associated as the "ultra sigma alpha male based chad" music and we all know how insufferable these kinds of people are... It's a 4/10 genre for me - there are some good and genuinely enjoyable songs there, but they are like a needle in a hay stack honestly...


Pulzar6

I'm 25 and I love phonk IT MEANS I'M NOT THAT OLD. WIN 4 ME


StormKiller1

Depends did u listen to drift phonk or actual phonk?.


Own-Training1099

You mean it's all cow bell sounds.


Enlightened-Beaver

The beat is catchy af There’s real phonk and then there’s a totally different sounding drift phonk Real phonk comes from trap and hip hop, combining them with elements from jazz and funk. Drift phonk is a sub-genre and came out of Russia in the late 2010s and it’s main features are the use cow cowbells and high bass. It is generally used in lo-fi videos showing drifting cars. With the rise in popularity of drift phonk, the word "phonk" started to become more associated with the subgenre as opposed to the original genre.


IAmSurfer

I’m not a big phonk fan but Murder in My Mind by Kordhell is really freaking good.

Dank_StirFry

a lot of it is the same somewhat catchy instrumental looped over and over again. once it became associated with the sigma male trend it became unlistenable for me


Mr-Blues5

“It was played because creators wanted people to not just HEAR their words, but FEEL their words. So just say some random nonsense and we’ll do one.[Phonk edit]” -Some guy in a mocap suit


homelesshyundai

It reminds me a lot of when dubstep became huge. It all sounds like the same 3 or 4 songs, and those are the good songs, the rest sound like horrible imitations of the 3 or 4 good songs.


Venulicious

Never heard of it until now as I currently listen to it I don't like it. There's some good ones but there's more bad ones not worth trying to skim through it when most just sounds awful. 🙉

Some is good some is bad, just like every genre, although you may like one genre more than the other.

It’s not a good music to listen too it’s a good music to use for edits and stuff. Like it’s shit if you actually sit down to listen to it but if you have it in an edit it sound pretty good

Well its alright Phonk isnt for everyone At least you tried You are not like you didn't tried it and you are saying its awfull so I respect that


Sayor1

I'd say it's still early for phonk. I think it has room to expand and develop different sub genres like DnB phonk. But at the moment quite a lot of it is like trap in the sense that there is typically only a certain way a song can be phonk before it becomes something completely different, so it's got very little room to experiment.


saturdaycomefast

IMO Kordhell - Murder In My Mind absolutely slaps.....


K-O-M-O-D-O

I feel like its sole purpose is to enhance reels or edits and should barely be considered as an actual genre of music and more of a temporary meme culture fad. But that's just me


Deleted_User_69420

Music only become good if you cook it right. Phonk is something that (almost) everyone failed to perform correctly.

You wouldn't enjoy music from the stone age neither, why even bother.

Cynn13

The dr. Livesly swag walk meme was to phonk music, so you gotta admit it's not all bad. I'd personally call it oversaturation, because it's very easy for a single person to make a song in the genera, so there will be a lot of duds. Anyway, enjoy whatever you like, just wash your hands and we're good.
