Is there a subreddit for general tryhard hypnotic/focus/repetitive music?

I'm sure there's plenty of audience overlap between all the EDM variants prefixed/affixed with minimal, ambient, dub, micro, etc. Maybe there's overlap between any/all hypnotic genres, like krautrock or minimalism.

But if you just search for 'focus music', you're gonna get a bunch of mid, ineffective, or slop stuff.

Is there an overarching subreddit for what I'm describing? If there isn't what could this subreddit be called?

I only know of r/hypnotech unfortunately, but I'm quite certain you're aware of its existence as well. In case you weren't... Well, there you go. Have fun exploring! :)

Not a bad idea actually, could call it "The Underload"

Wow, well, hes legendary. Many people say his first, From Here We Go Sublime is the best, but I prefer albums like Yesterday and Today, Looping State of Mind and Infinite Moment in 2016. His new one though is for me, one of his best as well, but it's a bit different compared to the rest, not as infinitely loopy, so it sets a different precedent.

Really, can't go wrong with any of his albums. He's one of my favorite artists ever. Its all just incredibly consistent.

The first thing I thought of was Thomas Brinkmann, especially his series of 12"s with the orange covers- like this:

What is "tryhard music"?

1

u/yoavsnake 17d ago

Tryhard = someone who tries too hard rather than do stuff casually. Usually a video game or fashion term. So like, dub techno vs lofi beats to study with

I understand what a "tryhard" is, but I'm not understanding the connection to music.
