The new genres of the 2010s have something in common, something abstract, different in tactic and skewed in their own anamorphic way, let's call it "newbreed". Perhaps short for this "newbreed of electronic music". That wavey, trappy, experimental newbreed of electronica. Newbreed is a broad, meta-genre gehstalt made from the explosion of new electronic genres that started to emerge from the Internet in the late 2000s and early 2010s. It is a broad category of music, including (or influenced by) chillwave, vaporwave, seapunk, witch house, trillwave, future garage, psychedelic, gothic, ambient, neoclassical, dream pop, lo-fi, new wave, chopped and screwed, drone, juke, footwork, grave rave, cyberpunk, outrun, coldwave, nu gaze, slutwave, broken-clash, avant-garde, sissy bounce, zombie rave, aquacrunk, warlock, oceangrunge, icepunk, post-punk, post-chillwave, post-futurepop, post-dubstep, post-rave, eccojams, etheral, industrial, electro, shoegaze, laptopgaze, cloud rap, trap and many others.

Due to many disliking and rejecting the term "newbreed", some have taken the same concept and started calling it futurewave instead. Since a large number of these genres start with "future-" or end with "-wave" it may be a bit more clear and intuitive. .
