Gencore Defined As Generative Breakbeat
- Lil Internet defines 'Gencore' as a generative, breakbeat-driven AI music style that resists direct genre or artist attribution.
- He frames Gencore as an evolution of sample-based dance music using hallucinated vocals and AI as core tools.
Three Rules For AI Music Production
- Follow three production rules: hallucinated vocals, avoid sounding like existing artists, and make tracks hard to recreate traditionally.
- These constraints guided Lil Internet's creative use of AI and defined Illegal Generation's aesthetic limits.
