Nonclean

Nonclean refers to a style of music that is characterized by its raw, unpolished, and often chaotic sound. This genre emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s, primarily within the electronic music scene. Nonclean music is typically produced using analog synthesizers and drum machines, which contribute to its distinctive, lo-fi aesthetic. The genre is known for its lack of conventional song structure, with tracks often featuring abrupt changes in tempo, key, and instrumentation. Nonclean music often incorporates elements of noise, glitches, and distorted sounds, creating a sense of disarray and unpredictability. Despite its chaotic nature, nonclean music has gained a dedicated following among electronic music enthusiasts and has influenced various subgenres within the electronic music spectrum. Notable artists associated with the nonclean genre include Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and Boards of Canada.
