Berklee-Core

A style of music most associated with bands from Berklee College of Music, or other music schools with popular music programs. Common bands associated with the genre include Vulfpeck, Lettuce, Moonchild, and any artist Quincy Jones happens to be working with at the time.

The key sign of BC is jazz/R&B influenced pop or rock music, with a predominant fan base of upper class white kids that think they’re smarter than you because you didn’t pick up on the septuplet phrasing over the hemiola or some other made up mumbo jumbo.
