ALRIGHT . . .
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE USEFUL TO HAVE A MEMREE MASTERTHREAD. PPL WON’T SHUT UP ABOUT THESE THINGS, SO IT’S PROBS USEFUL TO CONTAIN ALL STUPID QUESTIONS INTO THIS THREAD.
*** FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ***
Q: WHAT IS A MEMREE
A: WE DON’T REALLY KNOW. SOME DRIFTERS NOTICED THERE WAS DNA CODE EMBEDDED IN ALL THE MYSTERIOUS JUNK THAT’S BEEN WASHING TO SHORE & MANAGED TO ‘REVIVE' THEM. NOW EVERYBODY’S DOING IT SMH.
Q: R THEY DANGEROUS?
A: DUNNO THEY BASICALLY JUST DRIFT AROUND THOUGHTLESSLY. THEY WILL FLOAT AWAY IF UR NOT LOOKING. THERE R LOADS OF THEM DOWN THE SEWER SYSTEM COZ OF IDIOTS LETTING EM WANDER OFF.
Q: WHY R THERE SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES?
A: THEY’RE THEORISED TO BE FROM DIFFERENT PERIODS OF ANCIENT PREHISTORY. A PAST SO DEEP THAT MOST CREATURES WERE SEABED DWELLING XPERIMENTAL PROTO ANIMALS. WE DON’T THINK THESE THINGS R REALLY “ANIMALS” THOUGH. THEY DON’T HAVE ANY ORGANS, FOR ONE.

I HEARD IT ON CHLORINE FM A FEW NIGHTS AGO. HAD SORT OF A SPORESTYLE BOUNCE TO IT… SOME CHOPPED UP VOX SPRINKLED IN THERE BUT I WAS MOSTLY FIXATED ON THE THICK, OOZING PADS.

HOW DO I REVIVE THIS VARIANT??? EVERY PIECE OF DNA I’VE FOUND YIELDS THE SAME RESULTS. KEEP GETTIN THE MEMREES WITH THE SORT OF CRESCENT-SHAPED HEAD.

I THINK THIS IS ACTUALLY THE MOST ANCIENT PHENOTYPE. THEY R RARE BECAUSE ANY DNA DATA IS COMING FROM THE DEEPEST SUBSTRATES OF THE OCEAN FLOOR.
ANON48593
SMH CAN’T BELIEVE U WEIRDOS R ALREADY COLLECTING THESE THINGS LIKE STAMPS. DOES ANYONE HERE STILL CARE ABOUT ANCIENT JUNK? I AM WORRIED THE MARKET IS GONNA CRASH.
DRIPPA09
WAS WONDERING IF U LOT THINK THERE WILL BE A FOAMTEK REVIVAL AT ANY POINT. WAS PROBS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GENRES IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE TIDAL SCENE. FEEL LIKE NOBODY’S CHATTING ABOUT NOW.
ANON8943
HONESTLY I RECKON IT JUST NATURALLY TURNED INTO WOT WE NOW KNOW AS TEKTONIKORE.
ANON3245
NAH LOL I THINK THEY R VERY DISTINCT GENRES. FOAMTEK IMO IS VERY DIFFERENT IN THE WAY THAT IT HAS EARLY HINTS TOWARDS BOTH TEKTONIKORE & GERM_MUSIK.
BRAIN32
GERM_MUSIK WAS A DIRECT EVOLUTION FROM SPORESTYLE U ABSOLUTE IDIOT.
GRABMAN23
FOAMTEK WAS BETTER IN OUR MEMORIES THAN IN REALITY TBH. I WENT BACK & LISTENED TO OVAL.SILICA’S FIRST MIX & IT WAS BASICALLY JUST WATERED DOWN TEKTONIKORE.
ANON3493
SEEMS LIKE THESE THINGS R FLYING OUT OF THE BIG ALGYUMS. GUESS THEY ARE SPAWNING OR SOMETHING.

THESE THINGS R DANGEROUS… THEY SEEM BE SPREADING A VILE SUBSTANCE THAT’S VERY SIMILAR TO THE STUFF IN THE SEA.
ANON48593
I SAW ONE MAULING A SEAGULL THE OTHER DAY.
ANON58495
THIS WILL BE PROBS BE A CONTROVERSIAL THREAD BUT… WHO DO U THINK IS MAKING THE BEST GEAR RN? MY BET IS ON SKRAP.LICKERS RIGHT NOW. THEY SEEM 2 BE ABLE TO REPURPOSE ANY GARBAGE METAL INTO GEAR CAPABLE OF MAKING THE SICKEST SOUNDS.
ANON24245
APPARENTLY THEY’RE THE DEVS BEHIND SKUMKIT TOO.
I PICKED UP A RATTLE_UNIT RECENTLY COZ I’M TRYING TO GET THAT RUSTY BOXY SNARE SOUND. WELL HARD TO USE.

ANON59045

P.S. HEARD THE NEW CHLORINE FM STATION GOT BULLDOZED BY AN ALGYUM LOL, THERE IS NO CHANCE UR SET IS HAPPENIN.

NOBODY WILL BELIEVE ME BUT APPARENTLY SOME OF THE MORE XTREME WEIRDOS HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW 2 HATCH THE EGGS IN THE RIGHT CONDITIONS. BEEN KEEPIN UP WITH WHAT THEY’RE DOING ON /MYSTERIOUSCREATURES/ . . . IT’S A BIT NUTS THO.
IGLOOGHOST

JUST WANTED TO CHECK IN HERE COZ I HAVEN’T POSTED HERE YET. I MAKE TUNES AS IGLOOGHOST & I BEEN IN TOWN WORKIN ON AN ALBUM FOR DA PAST YEAR. IT’S CALLED ’TIDAL MEMORY EXO.' OBV GOT SORT OF STUCK HERE COS OF THE STORM.

CHEERS XOXO

FFS THE NEW WAVE OF DRIFTERS IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS TAKE THIS STUFF TOO FAR. THEIR GRABBERS R TOO F*CKIN JUICED UP. LEAVE SOME 4 THE REST OF US. I AINT INTO WAKING UP AT 4AM JUST TO SQUABBLE WIV A BUNCH OF OTHER WEIRDOS OVER JUNK.

WOT HAVE U BEEN LISTENING TO RECENTLY?
JUST GOT NEW EARPHONES AS MY LAST PAIR CORRODED AFTER TOUCHING THE SEA (LONG STORY.) I AM OUT OF THE LOOP & I FEEL LIKE THE LOCAL SCENES MOVE SO FAST RN.
DOZ09
MOSTLY TUNING INTO CHLORINE FM BUT I CAN NEVER PICK UP THE SIGNAL THESE DAYS.
SHIFTER2
@DOZ09 I’LL DM U THE MOST RECENT CHLORINE FM BROADCAST FREQUENCY. THINK THEY WERE ACTUALLY HIJACKING THE ESPI FREQUENCY UNTIL RECENTLY LOL.
ANYWAY I BEEN LISTENING TO LOTS OF POND_SKIPPA'S NEW STUFF.
0RGAN12
I RECKON THE BEST TUNES RIGHT NOW R:
* METAMORF - BECKONER
* METAMORF - TRASH BEACON
* POND_SKIPPA - NEW CRYPTID
SOCKET22
UNFORTUNATELY I FOUND THE NEW POND_SKIPPA TUNES TO BE PRETTY DERIVATIVE OF THE RECENT PLUNGE REKORDS STUFF. I FEEL LIKE POND_SKIPPA JUST RIDES THE WAVES (NO PUN INTENDED.)
MY TUNES OF THE MONTH:
* DRAG33 - KELP SONG
* AMOEBA CURE - MORSE WHISPER (DEMO)
* LARVA_E - PARASYTE STEM
* LARVA_E - ID (UNRELEASED ONE FROM THE PLUNGE REKORDS TAKEOVER SET)
NEWKID23
YO. SORRY FOR THE N00BY QUESTION . . . I’M LOOKING TO GET INTO DRIFTING BUT DON’T HAVE ANY GEAR TO PICK UP STUFF FROM THE BEACH SAFELY. WHAT SHOULD I START WIV? OR IS IT TRUE U CAN JUST USE UR HANDS?
G8KEEPA
LMAO YES FEEL FREE TO USE UR HANDS IF U WANT TO DIRECTLY TOUCH FLESH-ROTTING GUNK HAHAHAHA. AND READ RULE 2 WHILE UR AT IT.
ANON3245
U HAVE SUMMONED @G8KEEPA, HE IS ONE OF THE MOST HOSTILE USERS TO NEW DRIFTERS.
ANON4356
LUDICROUSLY STUPID QUESTION BUT I WILL ENTERTAIN IT.
TO PICK UP ARTEFACTS THAT HAVE BEEN EJECTED FROM THE OCEANS, U WILL NEED A SPECIAL TOOL THAT IS IMMUNE TO BEING CORRODED BY THE PRIMORDIAL SUBSTANCES THAT THE OCEAN IS CURRENTLY RIFE WITH.
WE CALL THE TOOLS GRABBERS. THEY ATTACH TO UR ARM . . . LIKE A METAL DETECTOR. U CAN BUY CHEAP ONES IN THE SUBTERRANEAN MARKETS.

WHAT SORT OF STUFF HAVE U LOT FOUND ON THE SHORES RECENTLY?
GRABMAN23
INSANE AMOUNTS OF TOOLS MADE FROM AMMONITE SHELLS. THEY SORT OF LOOK LIKE LITTLE KNIVES.
ANON3245
YEAH IT’S WEIRD. EVERY WEEK SEEMS TO BE DIFFERENT. THIS WEEK ALL I BEEN SEEING IS AMMONITE TOOLS . . . ACTUALLY PROPER SICK OF SEEING EM TBH.
BRAIN32
I KNOW UR SICK OF THE AMMONITE TOOLS BUT DO U REALISE THEY’RE DATED TO LIKE 400 MILLION YEARS AGO? WHO TF WAS MAKING THESE TOOLS?

F*K EM TBH IF U FALL FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS U DESERVE IT.
HELP3944
WHAT IS HAPPENING ? ? ? ARE WE ACTUALLY EXPECTED TO BELIEVE THAT DUE TO SOME KIND OF ROGUE INDUSTRIAL POLLUTANT, THE OCEAN IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY TOXIC? WHY DOES THIS WEIRD SUBSTANCE ALL OVER THE BEACHES NOT RESEMBLE ANYTHING MAN-MADE ? ? ? I LIKE COLLECTING OBJECTS AS MUCH AS ANYONE BUT DOES ANYONE WORRY WHERE THIS IS GOING ? ? ?
YAWN3948
MATE I DON’T KNOW . . . I THINK INITIALLY EVERYONE WAS INITIALLY CHINSTROKING & WONDERING WTF IS HAPPENING . . . THEN WE GOT VERY HUNGRY + REALISED WE NEEDED 2 START MAKING CASH. I HAVEN'T RLLY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT KIND OF SH*T THESE LAST FEW MONTHS.
ANON3057
HAHAHA I AGREE WITH OP . . . SUCH A PLEB TIER THEORY TO BELIEVE THIS IS SOME KIND OF MANMADE CATASTROPHE. LOOK DEEPER.
G8KEEPA
AM I ON THE RIGHT BOARD? THIS IS GIVING ME DE JA VU TO THE FIRST WEEK OF THE WHOLE THING. USELESS F*CKIN THEORIES THAT LEAD NOWHERE.
APPARENTLY THE EXO PORTAL MODS JUST OPENED UP A SEPARATE BOARD FOR THEORYPOSTING OR WHATEVER U SADDOS R INTO. I SUGGEST U F*CK OFF ON OVER THERE.

IN AN ARGUMENT WITH ANOTHER WRITER IN THE SCENE (WHO I WILL NOT NAME) . . . WE R BOTH WRITING AN ARTICLE OF THAT NEW STRAIN OF TRENCHWAVE & ARE HAVING DISPUTES ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF THESE TUNES.
ANON43859
IT’S A CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECT EVEN WITHIN THE TRENCHWAVE CREW . . . LET’S JUST SAY ONE OF THE BIGGEST TUNES WAS NOT ACTUALLY PRODUCED BY THE PERSON WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE PRODUCED IT. CAN’T SAY ANYTHING ELSE.
