i have great respect for a number of these genres here, especially gabber, chip, and jazz. something being on here doesn't make it bad. and ultimately, whoever likes whatever is fine by me. however, some of you have entered my post to defend electroswing, and so i will tell you how i feel. please do not take it personally.
i have unending, red-hot, riotous contempt for the stain on history that is electroswing. it bastardizes house music and jazz, two essential traditions of Black joy and creativity, down to their most vapid textural elements, and repackages them for white audiences. it is an aesthetic mush-soup with no redeeming qualities beyond keeping its makers and consumers from bothering others. it is music for straight kinksters, or instagram polyamory influencers, or people who somehow manage to be snobby about circus arts. it is, as one commenter put it "steampunk [...] and not the good kind."
you will take your love of this thing and keep it far away from me as possible. stow it with your meme mashups and pirate metal. begone.
edit: for the love of God stop telling me you like Caravan Palace, they're fucking bad and you are not helping your case.
