what genres do you sort your music into?
I had a hard time coming up with one that fit both Beta Band and Modest Mouse but I think I got one and it fit Brand New too ("soft rock").
basically give me ideas and lists of bands you think fit certain genres to make my job easier.
Rock, Hard Rock
I'm your average teenager who dislikes rap :p
Videogame remixes.
I use wikipedia for genre sorting.
I don't bother to sort by genre at all. I sort by artist name. So much easier that way.
I find it hard to classify my musical tastes. I listen to everything, really, including "country and rap," which most people who "listen to everything" promptly make sure others know they don't listen to.
My favorite "genre" is anything experimental. Blonde Redhead is best described as avant-garde or "no wave" - their new stuff relies heavily on layered synths, but their older stuff is defined by their use of strange guitar tuning and dissonant sounds. Bauhaus are similar in this respect.
I also really like lyrical music - Kate Bush, for instance. Generally I lump Lupe Fiasco into this category too, as I think the most distinct thing about his music is his lyrical ability.
J-pop also has a special place in my heart (Utada Hikaru, Onitsuka Chihiro).
Then there are the bands/artists I listen to just for the novelty. Shonen Knife, for instance, has really simplistic "punk" music, but their happy go-go style is what makes me love them.
Post-Rock, Progressive (from metal to instrumental), and Power Metal.
This is the correct answer. :love:Quote:

I think it's stubborn sorting by artist, I mean it's like saying "everything from "x" is the best! because it's them! :D man up or I'll betchslap you!" when it never ever is, ever...

Yep.
You'll be surprised at exactly how many subgenres Metal (and its subgenres) has.
Shoegaze... what is it?
I've always been curious...
One of the stupidest genre names ever coined by man. :eep:Quote:
