Please start here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_genres

Add "-step" to the end of each genre.

Make a 4 bar loop of said ::genre::-step, and claim it for
your own.

I claim Nangma-step.

next.

i never knew what adding 'step' means to a genre

i used to listen to these ltj bukem "2-step" mixes and they
sounded just like the 'drum and bass' mixes, they sounded
exactly the same

wikipedia says

"Different from other styles of electronic dance music
(e.g. most forms of house and techno), 2Step does not use a
so called "4 to the floor" bass drum, which hits strictly on
every beat of a bar (usually those types of music have 4/4
bars and therefore you will have 4 bass kicks per bar, which
explains the name of this bass drum pattern). 2Step differs
from this scheme as its bass kicks basically skip the 2nd
and the 4th beat of each bar. Additionally, besides the
first bass kick (which usually rests on the first beat), the
other kicks are also moved away from the main beats of the
bar and create a busy and skippy feeling. What holds the
pattern together is a powerful snare drum on the 2nd and the
4th beat. There may be additional snare drums to add further
groove and drive to the pattern, but you will always have a
snare drum which emphasizes the 2nd and 4th beat of any
bar.
"

LOL

Techstep (also referred to as tech) is a major subgenre
of drum and bass, characterized by a dark, sci-fi mood,
near-exclusive use of synthesised or sampled sound sources,
and influences from industrial and techno music at the
forefront. Although described as having a "techy" feel,
techstep's relationship with techno should not be
overstated. It shares the technique of creating a
high-energy collage from abstract, synthetic noises,
including samples, bleeps and squelches: it rarely uses
instruments that have not been processed by effects.


DOUBLE GENUINE LOL

...and now, to further add to the confusion, as well as the
established dnb sub-genre of the same name, tech-step is
also being used to describe dubstep type music that has more
metallic industrial/techno/sci-fi sounds in them (like the
DnB variant).

You'd hope with 1,000,000 different genre names, they could
avoid recycling old ones. :-/

indeed, you could make up a ganre name so easily. pretty
much any word suffixed with step or core or tone or tronica
etc would do. use your surroundings! be creative!

snes-step
sockcore
gufftone
mugtronica

ITS EASY.
