"Sounds wholly or partly characterized by the emission of a succession of repetitive conditionals." This is a fun play on the words of the 1994 Criminal Justice Act, which criminalized the huge underground rave scene in the UK. (It's 'repetitive beats' in the text of the Act). Knowing that wouldn't really have changed the article much, but it's not as po-faced a definition as the author might have thought.
