Recently, I've noticed a cool new music trend called slowed reverb or daycore. It's like the opposite of nightcore – instead of speeding up songs, they slow them down and add a bunch of reverb. The result? Emotional tunes with a mix of natural and otherworldly sounds.
I'm kinda on the fence about it. Some songs sound awesome when they're slowed down, giving a great vibe, but others end up sounding pretty bad. It seems to work best with certain types of songs, especially electronic ones from specific genres like dance, pop, or indie. For example, slowing down Boney M doesn't really do it for me; I'd rather stick to the original. But when it comes to glitch pop or future pop, the slowed versions can be pretty amazing.
I think this whole slowed and reverb thing probably came from Lo-Fi music. It's like they took the chill vibes of Lo-Fi and added a twist with slower beats and extra reverb. It's a bit like modern relaxation music with a new flavor.
One thing that crosses my mind is whether this trend will stick around or if it will fade away. Trends come and go, and people are always looking for something new. But I hope this one sticks – a lot of people seem to enjoy it, creating a little community around this style of music. Let's see if it keeps going strong or if something else takes its place.
And yes, seems that anime thumbnails are pretty popular in those music.
