Grooveshark & New Music Genre's
Lo-fi: Music recorded to intentionally sound bad to the point of sounding good. The aesthetic of listening to your best friend's brother's band's first album on the roof of your house

Vaporwave: The early internet in a music genre. Sounds from the 80s and 90s woven into new sounds with the visual aesthetic to match. Have you ever walked over toward the bathrooms at a JCPenny and they're playing 80s slow jams (they're always playing slow jams) and you're like, "but it's 2015 why", but the music is so chill and provides the perfect soundtrack to our consumerist society that you can't hate???
Skweee: Video game music with a side of funk. Funky electro-chiptune beats.
Folktronica: Folk vocals layered on top of synths and electronic samples, it's good.
Neo Psychedelia: Remember the boat scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Or when Alice falls down the rabbit hole? Kind of like that.

Alternative R&B: For the sensitive gangster in all of us. Somewhere between R. Kelly and FKA Twigs. Post-Omarion dancing in the video for "Ice Box
