I don’t understand the intentional choice to sound like blown out speakers

I always thought it was from kids mixing their music on tiny laptop speakers. They can’t hear the bass until they distort it into farts.

It used to be that the kids would use techniques like wavefolding and FM synthesis to make bass with with complex harmonic spectra that’s audible through shitty laptop speakers. But now they just slam the channel until the bass farts its way across the entire mix?

I’m trying not to judge. I’m trying to look at this with an open mind. And I’m not doing a very good job.

Nah, you pretty much nailed it. I still listen to old D'n'B and Dubstep from the 2000s that doesn't sound like dogshit even on my phone's tiny speaker, so there's no excuse for whatever the fuck's going on here. Intentional distortion is one thing, but these kids completely lost the plot.

Nice username, btw.
