Tried a much heavier style. Criticism appreciated, feedback appreciated, bumble bees appreciated.

House. Glitch Hop. IDM. Breakbeat. Chillout. Footwork. Lo-fi. Vaporwave. Noise. These are some of the genres I like to completely ruin.

Really great job with the track bro!
The part at 1:00 when the drums just cut out and you change melody sounds quite strange and abrupt, and the drums sound too loud in comparison to the other elements. I think some reverb on the synths or some FX could fill in the space and make it sound less empty.
Also. the drop comes in a bit too suddenly because there isn't really a noticeable buildup. Some drums or filtering on the synths gives it a bit more 'oomph'.
I really like the Sombra sample, but it felt a bit dry/thin and didn't feel as though it fit as well it could. Some wet reverb on it could make it sound 'fuller', or maybe that was the effect you were going for.
Freaking loved the chordal stabs at 2:40ish, beautiful chord progression mate.

I agree on all points with Sir Propeller.

In addition, that arp in the beginning, as beautiful as it is, it feels a bit off time for some reason.
The drop could use a little more body; it's a bit empty. Try adding like a deep rumbling sub-bass, then a mid-ranged pad to fill in the backdrop.
Last thing is at 3:47: I didn't really like how the heavy basses were just filtered/mixed out. To keep their power, it helps if they come to a terrific finish rather than just slowly disappear. That's just my opinion at least.

Nice work!

HAPPY? I filled the damn song with anger and despair and it's all in minor wtf
You must find happiness in the most bizarre things :I

Also thanks for all the feedback, I don't think I've got a reception this good on MLR with a track before <3
