A relatively new arrival in the ever-evolving lineage of internet-native musical microgenres, barber beats takes its name from the semi-serious genre label given to genre originator Haircuts For Men by their label Aloe City Wrld. The barber beats sound takes multiple cues from vaporwave, pulling similar sample material – lounge pop, muzak, digital 1980s productions – and condensing vaporwave's sedative haziness into sleekly mastered downtempo trip hop and hip hop instrumentals.
