Types of Brony Musciains

We all love it, otherwise it's unlikely you'd be here. Talk about the show and the fanbase surrounding it. Brony music discussions encouraged.

Types of Brony Musciains

Postby ganondox » 22 May 2013 23:34

So I noticed for the most part there is a few different reoccurring classes of brony musicians based on their behavior in the scene. Of course not everyone belongs to them, these are just trends.

Vocal Electronic
-Tend to be the most popular
-Make lots of original content, but also remix a lot.
-Frequently collaborate with other artists
Examples
*The Living Tombstone
*Aviators
*Glaze
*H8_Seed

Instrumental Electronic
-Most common type
-Tend to remix the hell out of anything with vocals
-Collaborate frequently with other electronic artists
-Occasionally collaborate with non-electronic artists
Examples
*Silva Hound
*TeiThePony
*Omnipony
*General Mumble


Vocal Rock
-Tend to one of the most popular types relative to their frequency
-Tend to make mainly original pieces, but covers are also common
-Frequently collaborate with other artists
-Most bands and acoustic musicians would fall in this category
Examples
*MandoPony
*AcousticBrony
*PrinceWhateverer
*Cyril the Wolf

Instrumental Rock
-Tend to mainly make original pieces and show covers
-Usually collaborate with vocal artists when they do collaborate
-Ambient and Chiptune composers tend to behave more like this than like other instrumental electronic musicians
Examples
*Bronyfied
*ISMBOF
*Canapplejack
*ClaireAnnCarr

Female Vocals
-Tend to make very little original content on their own
-Mainly cover songs and collaborate with other artists
Examples
*Feather
*EileyMonty
*MEMJ
*Rina-Chan

Orchestral Composer
-Mainly keep to themselves, making original compositions
-When they do collaborate it's often with a female vocalist
Examples
*Makkon
*EveningStar
*Radiarc
*Night Breeze

Brony Rapper
-Mainly make original content (well, at least as far as I know)
-Frequently collaborate with other artists
Examples
*Mic the Microphone
*iBringDaLulz
*YellingAtCats
*KoroshiYa

There is no point, I'm just noting patterns in the scene.

Well one thing you've picked up on is that a good chunk of the female vocalists in the scene are just that, very few make the music as well, except for a few exceptions (Akward Marina, Cats Millionaire, Miu Miu). That and orchestral musicians generally keep to themselves the most, musically. Other then that i think you'd have to include people who generally prefer to remix as well and dig deeper for a lot more genre diversity then you currently have to make any additional conclusions.

I seem to be trending in the Instrumental Electronic department.

If I want to be brutally honest, I would say that I am a Vocal Electronic artist wannabe.

The reason I'm limiting to these genres is that beyond Rock and Electronic there isn't that much representation. Anyway, here Electronic really refers to EDM, as the EDM artists are a lot more remix centric than the other genres, excluding novelty genres which are just covering songs in an uncommon genre. There is relatively few covers of songs from the brony fandom that aren't electronic, but many remixes. So I'm basically lumping everything that isn't EDM under rock. :P Also, for musicians like AwkwardMarina, she follows more of the trends of a general vocal musician than the female category, I guess the categories are more of assigning a genre to a particular class of musician behavior than it is assigning a particular behavior to a particular genre. Artists who tend to remix lots of songs tend to be Electronic ect.

Yeah its pretty hard to remix within rock in general, then its typically known as a cover if anything.

Well, my point was more that there are more remixes of songs from the fandom than there are covers of them. There is of course genre bias because remixing is a different process than covering, and also the differences in saturation between the electronic and other genres in the community might also play a role.

What about electronic musicians who don't make EDM (Like Kyoga or SGAP)?

Notice the word I bolded and underlined in my post.

I meant to say not all electronic music is dance music...

They get thrown under 'Rock' or 'Orchestral' even if they aren't really Rock in anyway.

Because they usually act either like a Rock musician or an Orchestral musician within the fandom, so making a new category is counter-effective. If they act like an EDM musician than they get thrown with Electronic.

I don't really understand how that works, is this like a thing to sum up how types of musicans stereotypically act, or is it to describe what kind of person makes what kind of music or...?

Also! You've forgotten the uh....something, like a person that does whatever and does not care. I wanna say hobbyist, but thats more describing dedication than type.


It's sort of both, it's stereotypes of how various types of brony musicians act, and the genre associated with it. Also, hobbyists still often follow in line with the previous patterns, just on a smaller scale, and more serious people also often don't follow the trends. It's not like people are intentionally following into molds, it just sort of happens.

I don't agree with the fact that EDM musicians are always remix-happy
I very rarely remix and when I do it's never as good as my original material. I'm an instrumental EDM musician within the brony fandom (Participating in a three piece vocal rock group outside the fandom) and I think I've remixed about 2 songs and in the process of remixing my third, which isn't a large ratio compared to the 60+ original songs (Granted about 50 of them are utterly terrible) that I've made.

Also, this thread is completely unnecessary and stuff. I mean, what you've done is went "I am very bored so I'm going to list obvious shit in hopes people will be like 'omfg mind bloonww woooooooaaaaahhh'"
Also you've generalized a lot under those catogories, and selected examples which I don't actually think represents the fandom's music scene at all, since all you've done is go "insert overpopular musician here" instead of "find talented people who do a large portion of the EDM genre" or maybe just "I shouldn't make this thread because stuff"

All in all, I appreciate the reason behind the thread, but really, youtried.png.

I never said anything was always anything, I specifically said they weren't.

Yes, this thread is just something pointless I made when board, I'm pretty sure that's most threads on online forums are. I'm not meaning to blow anyone away, I'm just noting it because I like taking note of patterns.

Over popular musicians are easier to document, but I specifically chose them for the examples because people are more likely to recognize them.
