While the desert blues draws inspiration from the same ancient African wellspring that birthed the sounds and rhythms of the American Blues, the Tuareg style has developed into its own distinct and independent strain. In the 1970s, political turmoil and displacement prompted Tuareg youth to pick up electric guitars, blend their traditional sounds with Western rock, reggae, and psychedelic music, and create a new sound known as Tishoumaren.

[ˈʤʌˈwaɪən | həˈwaɪən ˈreɡ.eɪ]: The style and groove of classic reggae with a Polynesian twist that continues to flow in and out of the Hawaiian islands. The rich history that comes from the politically charged activism in the lyrics in Jamaica fuses perfectly with the ukulele’s and slack key guitar to emit the warm, easy-going, window’s down drive to beach music that is Jawaiian or Hawaiian Reggae.

[mɒŋ-gəʊ-li-ən met-(ə)l]: Mongolian Metal Music, also known as Hunnu Rock, is a unique subgenre of heavy metal that has been gaining popularity in recent years. The subgenre's roots lie in Mongolia's complex history, particularly during the time of communism. While under control of the Soviet Union, Western music was heavily censored in Mongolia, and access to rock and metal music was extremely limited. However, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Mongolia underwent a period of political and cultural reform, and young Mongolians were finally able to access music from around the world. It was during this time that Mongolian Metal musicians began drawing inspiration from bands like Metallica and Iron Maiden, and traditional Mongolian instruments like the horsehead fiddle, Jew's harp and a traditional Mongolian throat singing technique, these musicians began to create a new sound that would eventually come to be known as Hunnu Rock.

The four-four-time signature or sometimes twelve-eight time is largely seen in the swinging drum beats. This was also incorporated with the introduction of newly made drum machines like the Roland TR-808. Many artists embraced former hits and older artists as sampling became commonplace within the genre. The E-mu SP-1200 and the Akai MPC series were some of the most popular within the music scene for sampling. The last major characteristic of New Jack Swing, seen in the latter years of the subgenre was the use of smooth group backing vocals that is commonly referred to with Boyz II Men. It was the transition from the stereotypical R&B and pop that the early 1980s were used to seeing. It was this new scene of R&B that revitalized the genre making its mark in the hip-hop world.

Some musicians that venture in Gothic Country have a more typical alternative folk sound, while others are reminiscent of soundtracks to a movie about the civil war written by Edgar Alan Poe. Dark, right? Well that is kind of the point. The sound reflects the melancholy nature of decay, ruin, damnation and the disenchanted ideoligies of old Southern hospitality. It uses gothic aesthetics to reflect on the darker elements of post-bellum life in the American South.
