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!
