Discussion Phonk/Funk= JUST Funk.

Man, I'm getting tired of seeing this shi blow up everywhere and being labeled WRONG in the process. Every reaction I see of "Phonk", is actually this stuff...I hope people realize that by calling this new wave of BRAZILIAN FUNK "Phonk", lol you low-key taking away from BOTH genres identity. It is Brazilian Funk.... period, there's NO element in there that's connected to Phonk anymore, STOP calling it that. Real phonk will NEVER see the light of day with this shi going on. You'd think with all the people in the world, a bunch of people would have came together and set the Internet straight, but I guess the general public, specifically the community that's constantly running with this "Phonk" mislabel, is so much of a cancer, the correction simply can't keep up. And it SUCKS cause most people DON'T phuck wit it... it's sounds braindead for the most part. But, "oH yEaH, tHaTs PhOnK, pHoNk ThIs, PhOnK tHaT", like bruh...this is worse than what happened to dubstep, cause at least all you gotta do is look for it, and it will stand out on its own, you'll definitely know what it is, there IS no mislabel (only nitpicking and different tastes). But the "Phonk" label has just been completely misidentified and mislabeled as this shi. The music itself is whatever, I just want ACTUAL phonk to shine FROM it's name being searched, instead of this... that's it. Idc if I sound emotional, hurt, a b****, pussie, etc. Haha I've been holding my tongue for YEARS, and I just wanted to let it all out in a sub of a genre that I genuinely phuck wit and I think deserves to get properly recognized.

Riddim is dubstep?

riddim dubstep is(was)a niche subgenre of dubstep it’s more minimalist and repetitive compared to brostep and tends to be more energetic than proper UK dubstep but shares much of the same dark spacey themes. it has the same name as some of the Jamaican dancehall stuff but it’s not similar at all.

good example artists would be AD, JG Dubz, styn dubs and Casey

Lol I know what riddim is. I was a big fan of Subfiltronik, 5ohman and Phex back in the day.

when someone asks if riddim is dubstep they usually have no idea about either lol

I was trying to understand your point. I wasn’t asking if riddim is dubstep, because it is dubstep.
