Some of these tracks feel to me like a feeling in dreams, when I'm running/flying/riding something too fast. I lose control of my movement and can't process what's happening around me fast enough. I can't slow down easily, but trying harder just wakes me up, even though I didn't die in a dream, just was flying through unintelligible mess of space. That feeling that it's so fast I can't see anything at all, just colors of huge things like a green grass field. But I never fell down the stairs. I guess it's the same kind of feeling.

[@silphv]

You're both right because it's both 5 and 3. Assuming you have some other element that actually accents the 5/4, then you have something cool yeah, a polymeter of 5/4 and 3/4. - - x - - x - - x - - x - - x o - - - - o - - - - o - - - - If you had all that occuring within one bar then it's a 5:3 polyrhythm.

5/4 is not that crazy haha some of these people just don’t know how to do it (these submissions were still impressive). Mission Impossible theme is 5/4

[@jasonyesmarc309]

I spent a while making 5/4 songs for a not-insignificant amount of time, and now it sounds normal and fluid in ways difficult to articulate. It's super unsettling at first, but it's beautiful once it becomes familiar. It feels so much more alive and biological.

[@leah.muriel]

I’ll definitely agree the mission impossible theme is popular among the general public. I can only imagine the madness that would occur when a 5/4 sig is played instead of bumping four to the floor beats at the music festivals😂 But we would appreciate it for sure, just not the general masses

[@EddieFreak]

@@leah.muriel if done right it doesn’t sound weird at all is my point. Gorillaz has a song called 5/4 which is in 5/4 except for the drums which play in 4/4 and it’s pretty good

[@leah.muriel]

@@EddieFreak you’re right

I feel I blinked and dubstep had become like a million different genres

[@willdebeast6849]

it's only a million different genres if you believe it to be. It could easily be less

[@Somerandomjingleberry]

Oh people have been subdividing dubstep for years lol

[@XxSanderMLGamerXx]

This sounds so much like some real life underground electronic rave music! Ain't no way it's fake! This sounds like the electronic music of the future! I hope this genre will continue developing!

[@XxSanderMLGamerXx]

@@adamrozek5782 I don't listen to pop at all, this sounds like a subgenre of hardstyle!

oh i think i just didnt understand at the moment of writing this, im insnanely fucking high, sorry for the inconvenience

[@mrbones9332]

Half of these are "Vicodin Overdose" and the other half is "Spider Mastermind from DOOM 2016 is having a seizure."

[@dialog_box]

damn there were a lot of really sick submissions. ironically i think Kevwpl's "worst song ive ever made" captures the prompt the best. you can really hear the 5/4 groove in the first half, and then in the back half you kinda get this pull-back effect before each phrase

[@eljefeamericano4308]

Hit 'Em is a great name for this style. Love hearing people play around with time signatures outside of 4/4.

[@Eta_Carinae__]

Tip for 5/4: most of the time, it's a safe bet to do the 5/8 clave, where you break the bar into a 2+3 or 3+2 - a strong beat on the 3, and a weak beat on the 2. So think about 5/8 like a 2/4 with one of the beats being longer. Think about 5/4 similarly, where you've got a 3/4 and a 2/4 bar in each bar, and seperate your melodic stuff between both, as in for call-response, call on the 3 and respond on the 2 for example.

[@jasonyesmarc309]

THISSSS, when I figured this out, 5/4 became the grooviest and most fluid time signature. You get call and response for FREE. It's so good!!!

[@nathanberrigan9839]

3+2 seems to be the more common version. It's the variation used by all the well known examples (Take 5, MI, Mars).

[@mattmann1623]

The most common pattern I see is 3+3+2+2. (1) & 2 (&) 3 & (4) & (5) &

[@user-hk2qz1hz4i]

right, bishnu doesnt seem to use this that's why it sounds more off-putting

This comment is some form of elvish, I can’t read it

i love how hit em is both the most diverse and cohesive genre of all time

[@jasonyesmarc309]

I absolutely love 5/4 and crunchy audio so this is a wonderful prompt to take off!! Love all of these!!

[@LeHeartly]

my favorite part about this genre is how cracked out the name is rofl. like the name really does sound like it was made up in a dream but also could actually be real too. I hope Bishu revisits this genre for genre mashup with Hiddem, Hit Em x Riddim

[@_Jay_Maker_]

When a fake genre becomes an actual genre. There's a few electronic genres that really hit that "this is my ADHD" button (as someone with ADHD,) and this is definitely one of them. Good shit Bishu and Subs. :) Holy shit. Vyde channeling ACCESS TO ARASAKA up in here.

@@dillberrystew6205 Hell yeah! Gotta recognize the classics for sure!

[@LucidLetters]

So happy to see more people talking about hit em on KZbin! I think a lot of people who made some during the initial hype got bored of it too soon. There’s definitely a lot more to explore within those three parameters. Really looking forward to the release of the official comp.

[@drphdmd7064]

Prog metal listeners are laughing that the time signature is only single digits.

[@askeen8796]

Ill have dreams of full finished songs I've never heard but can never remember them when I wake up

[@markfarmer7534]

Fuuuuuuck. One of my dream genres is sludge riddim, and I can't help but think the love-child of these genres would be testicular nut blast

[@cormishii1542]

I'm kinda curious what sludge riddim would be, elaborate on it pls

[@kraio-sfu]

@@cormishii1542if I had to guess, it’s a combination of riddim and sludge (the prototypical example of which being sludgefest - chipmunks on 16 speed)

[@markfarmer7534]

@cormishii1542 It's just riddim, but all, but the drop is halftime. The lead in the drop normally starts very simple, but repetitions are highly encouraged to have at least 1 note more than before, and 1 of the previous notes be delayed by half a beat. The goal with that is to make it hard to tell if it is speeding up or slowing down, so there are other ways to accomplish it, such as polyrhythms. Both for maximum brain meltage.

[@xw591]

What are you fav artists or songs?

[@markfarmer7534]

@@xw591 That's a biiig question....

[@Xenocr0ss]

"hit em" has massive "off the grid" hack and slash action game battle theme/exploration vibes, especially some of the first songs showcased, id be really interested in either seeing something developed out of that or maybe even starting something myself. that shit gets me going

[@kittydemonoverkill]

Yeah, while listening, some of it had reminded me of the OST for Madness Project Nexus(a game connected to an old Newgrounds series called Madness Combat)

[@m0zkiii]

idk why ive never seen any vids like this before but i fucking love it. love how submissions get half he ep, and your track was wicked. this is so cool . clever peeps

[@ApolloMclaren]

Anyone have a link to full song at 1:00

I am also curious-I found the artist’s spotify but I don’t think that song is published there

[@Space_Roach]

​@bissyballistic you know the artist name?

[@davidlasebnik4409]

2:20 reminded me of the Battlefield 3 soundtrack

[@JadedeaJade]

Wow you guys are fire af. Some of ya'll made like subgenres like Lofi-Hitem, but Wizzleysc version....all I could see was what glitter, iridescence, sparkles, and twinkles sounds like. Like all mind kept playing was visions of sparkles, glitter, and like holographic cellophane. So cool!

Idk how this got recommended, but I love it. Awesome video. Great music, what a cracked out community you’ve got sending in samples like this! I’ve been listening to ROM Di Prisco who did a load of the need for speed game soundtracks so I’m guessing that’s why YT pushed this. Big W. 🔥

Meanwhile in 40k, the Mechanicus is probably playing even more synthetic stuff like this on internal channels, just different ones than the hymns. Don't tell me they have forgotten what "fun" is, they screw around far more publicly all the time and disguise it as professional intrigue.

[@SurgeX25]

When i think of "hit em" idk why but that one episide of Samurai Jack where hes dancing in a club in some goofy ahh clothes comes to mind 😂

[@NickBirge]

Its actually a pretty popular phenomenon to learn new things in your dreams, or how to do things you're currently attempting. Such as skateboarders infamously having dreams of how to do a *insert trick here* the correct way, as opposed to the way they've been trying. Pay attention to your dreams. Write em' down when you wake up .
