This is a fun one to think about. I spend a lot of time in two pretty different worlds geology and audio engineering and my friends reflect that. One group is all about field trips and quiet focus, while the other is constantly debating microphone techniques or the latest album mix. So, if I had to pick a genre for my whole social circle, I’d say it’s probably ambient post-rock. There are these long, evolving soundscapes that build slowly, with moments of intense, detailed texture layered over a steady foundation. It’s not always loud, but there’s a lot of interesting complexity happening underneath. It feels like a good fit for the mix of deep conversations and collaborative energy.
I’m curious how other people would describe their own groups. What genre captures the vibe of your friends, and what is it about your shared dynamics that makes it feel that way?
