just casual chat, question about the music -
i've spent the last couple decades working on music software and not really paying attention to *anything* else in the world. like... it's been well over a decade since most of the "music" i listen to is synthesis demos, which isn't about the listening experience, more technical sophistry i guess.
like, the world i remember, was strongly categorised by genre and style, and people seemed to like it that way.. you heard music, you knew straight away, "this is hiphop" or dance or garage or bulgarian frying pan trance whatever.
but now, i watch all these fpv videos, and a lot of the music is *real casual* eg. discernibly composed to accompany life experience, not occupy the foreground of attention. there's rarely a strong stylistic signature, and often nods to what would have been "techno" are included, eg. the chopping/stutter edit process.
please tell me about this music.. i understand, my experiential perception may be unifying what may not necessarily be cohesive, but i'm interested in the casual nature of it. i've watched music be devalued as a commodity since production shifted to digital formats, which is good... because imo "old ideas about music" were really too rigid. but this music seems to not be too obsessed with affecting a style, only being an experience. i wonder, if it's that nowadays folks are enabled so everyone is producing their own tracks? which would of course be cool. i was always more into the distribution/cultural availability than trying to make money offa people by selling synth algorithms.

Thank you for watching.
I probably should've included in the description that the track is called The Mentalist by Mr FijiWiji. I dont know much about this genre of music.
I think many people choose "dubstep" type tracks (or whatever people call it lol)
for fpv movies because it's pretty easy to edit to, and often it seems to flow well with the footage.
I try to use a variety of genres for my edits...classic rock, jazz, hip hop, etc. Some have worked well in my opinion, but I've missed the mark on MANY. If I'm using a music track, I try to capture what my mood was or just go with what looks good with the footage.
In my opinion, (and I suck at editing)
it's one of the easier types of music to use for an edit.
