Plunderphonics is a genre of music which consists of heavily sampling most commonly from well known recognisable material. The term plunderphonics was created by John Oswald in 1985 in his essay by the same name. The essay really piqued my interest as I have been actively interested in the legal and moral standpoint of sampling in general. After reading the essay I feel excited to start experimenting with more samples in my personal and university work.

I have just checked the plunderphonics genre on Rate Your Music and I have listened to a lot of the albums on the list and was unaware that the music was in the plunderphonic genre.
