@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz dark electro has a really REALLY bad habit of being like this: extremely dark and grating, with melodic bits that make me end up actually liking a lot of it
it becomes music that i don't like showing people, but somehow plays to my melodic sensibilities enough that i still decide to listen to it sometimes
i think the bits i like are rooted in retro aesthetic that makes me both like chiptunes and module music from consoles i have no nostalgia for (like the amiga and commodore 64)
