Illbient emerged from 1990s New York as a darker, more experimental take on ambient music, blending hip-hop beats with industrial noise, dub basslines, and unsettling atmospheres. The sound embraces lo-fi production, dissonance, and urban decay, creating moody soundscapes that feel both introspective and confrontational. It thrives in the spaces between genres, favoring texture and mood over conventional song structure.
