Pretty much the opposite of Mainstream music. Rarely, if ever, gets on the radio or top 40, and it's not usually well known to the general public. Also known as "Underground Music".

Non-mainstream music includes bands/artists such as Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Dälek, etc.

Change Bumpin' Music

1. The act of putting small coins, such as pennys and dimes, in the cup holders on car doors so that when the bass is turned up all the way on the car stero, the change rattles or is "Bumpin'.

2. A way of judging the "legitness" of a rap song's bass, if the change rattles than it is considered a legit song and should be enjoyed at a very high level.

"wow man, listen to that change, its bumpin' "
"You'd think Jay-Z would try to make his songs more legit by making them rattle more change, so they would be Change Bumpers"

Examples of Change Bumpin' Songs:

A Milli by lil Wayne
Bombs Over Baghdad by Outkast
Fuck tha Police by N.W.A.
No Tears by Scarface
Forgot About DRE by Dr. Dre ft Eminem
Because I Got High by Afroman

This is just a list of examples of Change Bumpin' music, there is a seemingly endless amount out there. Other songs can be considered Change Bumpin' with a vote of 3 or more people, and has to have majority vote or it is not considered to be a Change Bumper

Old Jazz Music

Some of the most intelligent music ever made by anyone ever it combines the talent and expertise of a classical symphony with the soul of a garage band and adds in an improvisational element which is equivalent of making up music on the go.

Most modern jazz is based around 70s style funk and is heavily influenced by classic rock which although when all separate are great things do not combine to make a viable music genre.

Many old school jazz musicians are household names, although it is becoming rarer and rarer to see a jazz CD or record in someones home. A few examples would be John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, and Ella Fitzgerald.

This music was first started with the ragtime movement in the late 19th century where piano tunes such as the Maple Leaf Rag and The Entertainer by Scott Joplin were played in bars and saloons all over the country.

Soon thereafter a mixture of soul, gospel and French music formed in New Orleans and formed the famous New Orleans brass band type of music. A good example of this is "The Saints Go Marching In" by Louis Armstrong

These generally happy Dixieland songs coexisted with the blues until the great depression era when Swing Music and Big Band took hold. Swing and Big Band Music such as Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Count Basie were easily danceable tunes played for large audiences during the horrors of the Great Depression to relieve the tension of the times. This type of music persisted until the post WW2 era when musicians began making the greatest type of music for themselves

In the beatnik era of the late 40s thru 40s Bebop jazz took hold which was an incredibly fast and tough to play style meant to challenge the best of the Jazz musicians. In this period Jazz musicians received artistic liberation because now they formed quartets and quintets making music the challenge their mind body and soul.

The Last chapter of old jazz was about in the late 50s when smooth jazz took hold as music for intellectuals. Miles Davis and John Coltrane successfully switched over from Bebop to smooth and cool jazz in this era.

Examples of Old Jazz Music are too many to count but for starters, Scott Joplin, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller, Count Basie, John Coltrane, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Jaco Pastoris

Educational Electronic Music

Educational Electronic Music (EEM) or Educational Electronica (EE) is a genre of music defined by DJ Kronotrope. This is essentially electronic music that doubles up as an educational tool by imparting valuable knowledge to specialist groups and/or the general public through song.

Songs have been used as a medium for imparting knowledge for centuries. Though inferior in many respects to more traditional forms of learning, they remain especially potent for delivering small pieces of important information – especially the kind that needs to be memorised. This is because most songs contain loops. Usually, melodies constitute such loops; but for many songs with vocals, even lyrics loop. Looped lyrics assail the listener's mind and 'drill the information into one's head', so to speak.

EEM songs must satisfy the conditions listed below:

1. The song qualifies as electronic music

2. The knowledge imparted is valuable

3. The knowledge is 100% factually correct based on authoritative sources such as recognised academic journals

4. The knowledge imparted is not revisable within the foreseeable future

5. The song features no vulgar content (e.g. vulgar songs about sex and drugs cannot qualify as EEM)

1. Educational Electronic Music really helped me to pass my final exams.

2. Why listen to lectures online when you can listen to some Educational Electronica?
