Neurohop
editNeurohop (Or known also as simply Neuro, much like Neurofunk has been called in the past) is a genre of music that came to be around the mid 2011 to 2012's. The way it is perceived by some people, is an "Annoying", or "Unpleasant" sound.
History
editIt is worth knowing that Neurohop originated from the Sub-Genre of drum and bass, Neurofunk , quite similar, but different in many ways.
The origins of Neurohop trace back to the very person who coined the term, Kursa [1]. Kursa is a music producer, who created the term to describe his work, making a 15 minute mix of 9 tracks that he had made, titling it "Let's call it Neurohop". This is the earliest known time that the word was used and, the pioneer of the genre still continues to make music to this day, and has made a rather unfortunately, largely unnoticed impact on the electronic scene.
