The style gained prominence in late 2021 as creators sought to blend the aggressive energy of Drift Phonk with ethereal, cosmic soundscapes. This fusion created a unique sound characterized by bright, uplifting melodies, spacey ambient synths, and the signature cowbell patterns of Drift Phonk, but with a more optimistic and futuristic tone. The genre represents phonk's continued evolution into more experimental territories, drawing inspiration from both EDM and rave culture while maintaining its connection to the genre's roots.
