Stinkbug

Introduction
stinkbug is a notable practioner of chill weeb-funk in his second-period, his melodies are known for its relaxed, earnest style with distinctive lyrical articulations and driving bass rhythms.

Stylistic Development
Originally a noted practitioner of water-wave (named after the eponymous SNES OST "Waterworld") during his first period along with first-period goluigi and IroncladPhazon, his style has since evolved to adapt more hard-edged influences from weeb-funk practitioners such as coda and Fearofdark, and since constitutes a necessary bridge point between the three important cultural strains of weebfunk; codan drive weeb-funk, golgian pop weeb-funk and more extreme Kaichanian chill weeb-funk influences can be heard here, as well as contrapuntal elements from Fearofdark. Nonetheless, his music is written in a highly distinctive and personal, tonal idiom, with occasional experiments into timbral and harmonic ingenuity.

Pivotal Stylistic Developments

 * RAIN (2012) - First significant work (Famicompo mini vol. 9)
 * Rise and Sine (2013) - Full maturity of waterwave period (Spring Tracks III)
 * Dreamgate (2013) - First signs of moving away from waterwave; first notable work under the "stinkbug" name (2A03 Puritans)
 * Afternoon Out (2014) - First fully-mature emergence of the "pug lead". Many current-day stylistic elements are beginning to form (Winter Chip IX)
 * Plastic Waltz (2017) - Contrapuntal mobility becoming more pronounced (Spring Tracks VI)

Notable Works
His most famously performed works include incidental music to Bugmanian light videofilms such as "Teen Titans GO: Stellar Showdown", "Space Zone" being an often programmed concert work; other popular achievements include the side-project turtledove (a collboration with Fearofdark). As stinkbug is known for his prodigious tumblr following as a meme virtuoso, he often has little difficulty finding support for publishing of his new works, and remains one of the more popular weebfunk musicians.
