Neon is a melodic-oriented offshot of Future Bass, where the music doesn't follow a standard structure, but instead it uses a mixture of rhythms, quirky sounds (sometimes on off-beats), happy melodies and vibe. It takes influences from Wonky, Purple Sound, Bitpop/Chiptune/Glitch Pop and some of the japanese pop music like Shibuya-kei.
The structure of the songs typically start by building-up with soft/mellow yet quirky sounds and rhythmics into a 'drop' that is the main characteristic of this music: Time changes & patterns of the sounds each 4 beats, or 8 beats, for example changing melodies from a 4/4 rhythmic to a 6/4, and so on. Which makes the songs most of the time unpredictable melodies.
Use of Jazz improvisation and chords are very common, as well as random samples including water drops, cascades, nature sounds, bed squeaks, random vocals, doors, etc. And use of high-pitched or manipulated vocals.
Tennyson was one of the first artists the explore electronic trends of 2010s and mixing them with Jazz ahd Bitpop music.
In 2015 Labels like Night Owl Collective took over Neon music and united a big group of independent artists and newcomers to create a big collection of singles and EPs releases influenced by Future Bass. As they put on their website: "We're not so focused on a specific genre, as we are on curating a specific style. Whether it’s Downtempo, House, DnB, Glitch Hop, Lofi, Neuro, Minimal, Garage, Future Bass, Hip Hop, RnB, or any genre-bending mixture of those, all that really matters is that it’s something that makes you FEEL. Chill, Jazzy, or Funky melodies are usually a must." Neon ("Неон") — Russian music magazine.
