Brazilian phonk has nothing to do with real phonk
Brazilian funk has nothing to do with actual phonk, since it has a completely different history and style. On top of that, there are these weird TikTok kids here who can’t even tell the difference between how “funk” and “phonk” are spelled. Phonk is an underground genre meant to sound old-school, which isn’t understood these days. Phonk like ragephonk and house phonk, etc. IS ALSO NOT ORIGINAL, REAL SIGMA PHONK STUFF; it’s a “subgenre” that, unlike Brazilian funk, shares strong similarities with phonk. Real phonk is Memphis; the rest is either misspelled, like “Brazilian funk,” or a subgenre that shows strong similarities to drift, rage, or house phonk. If you listen to funk, go ahead and create your own hashtag on SoundCloud and your own Reddit post, but your funk has nothing to do with actual phonk. Listen to whatever you want, but call it by its proper name.
