dang, people are saying "x doesn't sound like a femtanyl song"??? Literally my favorite musicians have insane range, I cannot imagine asking an artist to restrict their songs to some small subgenre

[@LORDXKITTY]

True

[@krill_CO]

@@ttuesdayy1 at first it took me a bit to get used to it when fentanyl was expanding, but now i love the newer songs like weightless

[@sprshotgunn]

it's kinda giving what people were saying about machine girl when their new songs came out a little bit ago 😭

[@ivy.s_gone]

Most times its not really a subgenre limit, but an audio processing limit, for example: Virtual riot, you can listen to any of his tracks from the past few years and even if youve never heard any of them and he is exploring a new genre, youd know its him, because he can make a sound, sound like his. Similar thing with space laces and his style that transcends genres. Maybe im overthinking :P

[@grayanddevpdx]

my favorite artists have invented words such as “Fabloo” and “whatever-the-hell-we-want-to-write core” so if anything I’m excited for more wacky styles and unique tracks

​@@Joseph_185 isn't it kinda the point of digital hardcore tho? Especially whatever you would call Femtanyl music (Femtcore?). Violently expressing your emotions, yk, hardcore. And digital music!

[@Mothman_The_Moth]

I remember finding Femtanyl right before she started trending. Right before the AM community and Foxi Boxi found her. I was going through something rough, and, believe it or not, it was very hard to try to listen to more silly hardcore type music she makes. But when I found her music, I finally felt like I can find peice listening to this kind of music again. Thank you, Femtanyl.❤
