Future Bass
Future bass is a melodic, drop-focused style of electronic dance music built around lush, detuned saw-tooth chords, dramatic swells, and emotive, pop- and R&B-leaning progressions. It typically runs at 70–90 BPM (or 140–180 BPM in double-time), uses trap-inspired drums (808 kicks, crisp snares on the third beat, syncopated hi-hats), and features heavy sidechain compression for a breathing, "pumping" feel. Producers often layer shimmering supersaws, pitch-automated leads, and chopped/pitched vocal snippets to create euphoric, weightless drops that contrast with airy verses and cinematic builds. A hallmark is its glossy, future-leaning sound design—gliding chords, LFO modulation, wide stereo images—paired with catchy, sentimental melodies that make it equally club-ready and radio-friendly.

Lo-Fi
Lo-fi is a music aesthetic and genre defined by an embrace of audible imperfections—tape hiss, clipping, room noise, distorted transients, and uneven performance—that would be treated as errors in high-fidelity recording. Emerging from the DIY ethos of American indie and punk scenes, lo-fi turns budget constraints and home-recording limitations into a signature sound. Songs are often intimate, direct, and unvarnished, prioritizing immediacy and personality over polish. Typical lo-fi recordings use 4-track cassette or similarly modest setups, simple chord progressions, and understated vocals, spanning rock, folk, pop, and experimental approaches while retaining a homemade warmth and nostalgic patina.

Electronic
Electronic is a broad umbrella genre defined by the primary use of electronically generated or electronically processed sound. It encompasses music made with synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, computers, and studio/tape techniques, as well as electroacoustic manipulation of recorded or synthetic sources. The genre ranges from academic and experimental traditions to popular and dance-oriented forms. While its sonic palette is rooted in electricity and circuitry, its aesthetics span minimal and textural explorations, structured song forms, and beat-driven club permutations. Electronic emphasizes sound design, timbre, and studio-as-instrument practices as much as melody and harmony.
