Pokécore.

I've been on a breakcore binge recently, go figure. Something about the incoherency of drums seems appealing, although I can't exactly put my finger on what it is. Venitian Snares, if I recall correctly, was my first real exposure to breakcore, and it wasn't bad at all.

Hardstyle is also another very similar style, as is Happy Hardcore, Trance, and a few others. They all have very clear distinctions from each other, but all stay in the same experimental techno family. Long story short, it's probably alot more enjoyable when you're on some mind-altering substances.

My only problem with it, is that the music is generally shunned as a whole. Of course you'll find communities that accept and encourage the music, and I'm not suggesting that it needs to be more 'mainstream' (hipster alert), but people hear four seconds of a Breakcore song and don't give it the light of day. It could do with a little more love, is all I'm saying, really.

So, my question to you is, do you listen to any music considered 'out of the norm' by societies standards? J-pop, Industrial, anything. If you do, please, don't be afraid to link some of your favorites. I'd love to hear!

The Meaning.

So, as I sat here without my beloved PSN, I decided to do a bit of PS3 info searching. Among my results were that Sony planned to give players 30 free days of Playstation Plus, and some other magical content that doesn't really matter to me right now, because I found something that is so much better.

On the news site, I happened to find something on Street Fighter x Tekken. I remember being excited as shit for it when it was first released, but the hype kind of died down. But now there are two new trailers for the game, and I almost pissed my pants at how simply awesome it looks. Now, if this game will be great, I have some high expectations from Tekken x Street Fighter. So, what's the general consensus? Which game are you looking forward to more? Do both games even need to get made, or will one satisfy everyone? Who do you want to see?
