Chillwave, sometimes also referred to as glo-fi or downtempo pop, is a genre of music whose artists are often characterized by their heavy use of effects processing, synthesizers, looping, sampling, and heavily filtered vocals with simple melodic lines. The genre combines the larger 2000s trends towards 80s retro music and (in indie music) use of ambient sound, with modern pop, as in electropop, post-punk revival, psych-folk, nu gaze, and witch house. It is often described as "summer music."〔(The Decade in Music Genre Hype - Page 3 - Music - New York - Village Voice )〕〔(Is Chillwave the Sound of Summer 2010? - San Francisco - Music - All Shook Down )〕 ==Defining the genre== The term "chillwave" is said to have been originated on the Hipster Runoff blog〔http://hipsterrunoff.com/altreport/2010/03/wall-street-journal-covers-the-chillwave-genre.html〕 by Carles (the pseudonym used by the blog's author), on his accompanying 'blog radio' show of the same name. Kevin Liedel of ''Slant Magazine'' listed the genre's characteristics as "faded soundscapes, dreamy lyrical reflections, and warm, anachronous instrumentation meant to invoke the analog glow of late-'70s/early-'80s slow jams." The ''New York Times'' The genre is also a prime example of shifting the idea from defining a musical movement's birth in part by a specific geographic location, as is historically done, to focusing instead on how the groups became linked and defined through various outlets on the Internet. The ''Wall Street Journal'' quoted Alan Palomo of Neon Indian on genre: "Whereas musical movements were once determined by a city or venue where the bands congregated, 'now it's just a blogger or some journalist that can find three or four random bands around the country and tie together a few commonalities between them and call it a genre."〔 Despite the stylistic similarities listed above, Palomo and other artists have questioned whether chillwave actually constitutes a distinct genre. George McIntire, of the ''San Francisco Bay Guardian'' described chillwave's origin as in the "throes of the blogosphere" and called the term a "cheap, slap-on label used to describe grainy, dancey, lo-fi, 1980s inspired music" and a "disservice to any band associated with it." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chillwave」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
