We all know that genres can sometimes become parodies of themselves after long enough. Wubs in riddim, vocal samples in house, Porter Robinson samples in future bass, it’s a thing.
Most of the time, we like to look past those small details and see the bigger picture, which is that this music makes people happy. Still, other times, it’s fun to poke at those idiosyncrasies and make jokes, which is exactly what Ekali was doing yesterday.
It all started with an innocent enough tweet about house music always having vocal samples about house music, and then it just spiraled. Take a look below for his thoughts on house, riddim, trap, future bass, and more! 
Disclaimer: this thread is meant to be read in good humour and I am aware that I am roasting myself in a couple cases.

I love how in house music, the tracks always include someone talking about house music

Hardstyle
2 minute buildup with 500 vengeance / cymatics riser samples and *prydasnare.wav intensifies*
MC who sounds straight out of Mortal Kombat 2 Collectors Edition
“The universe has ended. All human life is extinct. All that remains is the HARD BASS”

Trap
A 19 yr old suburban kid from a gated community in Arizona has just moved to LA to make it big. He cites his influences as “real trap muzik none of that rap bullshit”
His music sounds like If his Ultraboosts and zanerobe slingshot joggers could use ableton all on their own

Future Bass
The artist SoundCloud profile says “born in 2008 Davis CA” and the rest is in Japanese so you have no clue what the fuck this edgelord is up to
4 tabs are open in Firefox, each with a new “how to make Porter language synth” tutorial. Every song is a collab.

Techno
A bald (by choice) man stands over $50k of analog gear. Hes smoked 3 packs of Marlboro reds in the last hour. The background on his blackberry 4 is a photo he snuck in berghain. He hasnt slept because his song has been building up for seven days. Suddenl-
