The diagram below shows a view of band space centered on Amoeba Crunch. This shows just a few of the more well known like-minded projects. You must imagine the thousands of smaller, dimmer ones that are emerging at an ever faster rate, slowly filling this volume; their collective influence, like gravity, clumps projects into new subgenres that achieve critical mass, furiously ignite, and either mellow into steady luminescence or explode into raw materials (not to mention orphaned musicians), ready for the next cycle of rebirth.

Meanwhile, as it has done since the Big Bang of the Beatles, band space itself continues to expand.
