Barber beats is a microgenre of electronic music and a subgenre of vaporwave.

Origin
Coined by Aloe City Wrld to refer to Haircuts for Men, and Macroblank's works. The genre is characterized by a heavy use of sampling.

Characteristics
Similar to vaporwave it samples a wide variety of smooth jazz, lounge music, and R&B from 1980's-early-2000's music. Oftentimes the tracks are slowed down. The genre was popularized by Haircuts for Men, and gained popularity in 2020.

Many artists state that "Everything is plundered" in their bios on sites such as YouTube and Bandcamp.
