Historic

Historic music, a genre that started as a cheeky interpretation of past musical styles, often seeks to recreate or reimagine older forms, usually with a good sprinkling of anachronistic flair. It's often characterised by the use of traditional instruments alongside modern production techniques, sounding as if a medieval bard had a very modern midlife crisis. You might hear lute and synthesiser duets at a Renaissance fair or wonder why your great aunt insists on dancing like she's just discovered TikTok at a 17th-century banquet.
