pornogrind
what it is
Pornogrind (also known descriptively as Groovy Goregrind) is a style of Goregrind that is characterized by a relatively restrained tempo and heavy reliance on bouncy, groovy rhythms with mid-tempo palm-muted riffs following 2-step and skank beat drum patterns. As the name implies, pornogrind is commonly oriented around pornographic themes and lyrics; however, bands have been known to pull from a range of topics within the goregrind aesthetic. While the genre is sometimes seen as a tongue-in-cheek style defined entirely by its sexual themes, its musical characteristics set it apart from the rest of goregrind more so than its lyrics.
