| Priority case by case genre tag deletions?
Name the top artists that will NEED one of the new tags, but have so many tags that the mods will have to do their thing. Try to ONLY name artists that would be difficult to properly tag due to old tags. | 1 | | Bee Gees Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack

03.12.22 | I will add your suggestions considering they're not ridiculous.
I am very lost on most of these, but new wave, disco, synthpop, garage rock, and krautrock seem easy enough. | GhandhiLion
03.12.22 | It blows my mind that we voted for krautrock over singer songwriter or a single jazz or classic hip hop sub genre | ArsMoriendi
03.12.22 | Also: before anyone says it NO Parliament and Funkadelic should not a disco tag
Funk/soul/psychedelic all fit them way better
"It blows my mind that we voted for krautrock over singer songwriter or a single jazz or classic hip hop sub genre"
Since Coltrane and Davis are especially popular on Sput, Modal Jazz maybe would've been he smartest choice | porcupinetheater
03.12.22 | Who the hell says P-Funk are disco? | Gnocchi
03.12.22 | "but have so many tags that the mods will have to do their thing"
It's already been pushed up the chain of command. What happens will/might happen and peer pressure at this stage is kind of moot. Great list idea though. | ArsMoriendi
03.12.22 | Yeah I'm just saying we should list all of the obvious ones to get them out of the way
"Who the hell says P-Funk are disco?"
IDK, i've seen them listed as such sometimes | GhandhiLion
03.12.22 | Modal Jazz is a good choice and the addition of jazz microgenres would make the necessity of album based genre tags more obvious than ever. | TheMonster
03.12.22 | Noise: Nurse with Wound, Sutcliffe Jugend, Incapacitants, Masonna, Hanatarash, The Haters, Puce Mary, Vomir, Aube, Government Alpha, Operation Cleansweep, Crank Sturgeon, Con-Dom, The Grey Wolves, Daniel Menche, Richard Ramirez, Skin Graft, Dakota Hogback, Pauline Oliveros
| porcupinetheater
03.12.22 | Third stream coming at’cha 2026 | GhandhiLion
03.12.22 | My first choices would be Avant-Garde jazz and Post-Bop though as they encompass a lot more of the popular releases on here and are more relevant for contemporary jazz than Modal. Fewer of Davis' and Coltrane's albums are modal jazz. | theBoneyKing
03.12.22 | Tbh I feel like as long as the people who voted for things do the due diligence by voting for genres on artists (which they should, otherwise why vote for the genres in the first place?) I don’t think this will be too much of an issue | ArsMoriendi
03.12.22 | @TheMonster: gonna leave off most of those that would be easy to like Sutcliffe Jugend for instance only has 2 tags on him, so adding a noise tag would be very easy
@boney: I highly disagree, especially in the case of bands with A LOT of votes like Talking Heads and The Knife | Storm In A Teacup
03.12.22 | Sense Fail should have one of their three tags be screamo for sure. | ArsMoriendi
03.12.22 | Removed Donna Summer from the disco list because she actually only has 2 tags, so disco would be an easy add | GhandhiLion
03.12.22 | Doesn't it make as much sense to also list less popular artists that need a genre change? | GhandhiLion
03.12.22 | Someone should make a genre correction discussion list when the change is eventually implemented | GhandhiLion
03.12.22 | Otherwise just spam the meds thread for anarchy | ArsMoriendi
03.12.22 | "Someone should make a genre correction discussion list when the change is eventually implemented"
This is kinda what this is meant to be lol | GhandhiLion
03.12.22 | For any artist. Not just top ones | JohnnyoftheWell
03.12.22 | yeah, this needs
1) dedicated lists for each genre
2) to be comprehensive and not fixated on handful of standard bearers bc we are rebuilding a whole database
3) to happen when the new tags have actually been implemented
but in the meantime we can all jam disco and noise in anticipation yay | porcupinetheater
03.12.22 | Elliott Smith is slowcore | GhandhiLion
03.12.22 | Nick Drake is slowcore. | GhandhiLion
03.12.22 | Oh that reminds me. Contemporary folk didn't pass. Also I don't think I voted for contemp folk | porcupinetheater
03.12.22 | I voted for freak folk | wham49
03.12.22 | 8 has the shite you all, the 13th floor elevators are crazy
scorpions and lucifers friend for krautrock | GhandhiLion
03.12.22 | Scorpions best krautrock | wham49
03.12.22 | KC and the sunshine band, for disco | porcupinetheater
03.12.22 | Rammstein - krautrock | wham49
03.12.22 | does being German auto you into kraukrock, because I would not think Kraut when thinking rammstein, maybe I'm wrong | porcupinetheater
03.12.22 | Those fucking krauts rock | ArsMoriendi
03.12.22 | "does being German auto you into kraukrock, because I would not think Kraut when thinking rammstein, maybe I'm wrong"
No it does not lol, Porc's just joking | wham49
03.12.22 | true very true | garas
03.12.22 | At least switch 9 to an actual dungeon synth album... Like "Daudi Baldrs" or "Hlidskjalf" by Burzum.
Also to answer you question: you'd be surprised how many albums were simply tagged as "ambient" + "electronic" so far. This new tag will clarify lots of artist pages. | SharkTooth
03.12.22 | Djent: Animals As Leaders, Periphery, Monuments | bgillesp
03.12.22 | Djent need Periphery, Animals as Leaders, TesseracT, and Vildjharta | Snake.
03.13.22 | senses fail and aof aren't screamo wtf
swap them with orchid, saetia, envy, city of caterpillar, jeromes dream, pianos become the teeth, loma prieta, touche amore (counts), portrayal of guilt, funeral diner, state faults, hot cross, gospel, circle takes the square, yaphet kotto, and respire
sorry for making you do all this typing ars | ArsMoriendi
03.13.22 | @Snake: I will remove them, Storm told me to | onionbubs
03.13.22 | djent also gonna need volumes | SharkTooth
03.13.22 | for new wave we should also get Joy Division, Bauhaus, and The Cure | ArsMoriendi
03.13.22 | I'll add Joy Divison and The Cure
Bauhaus only has 2 genres tagged, and New wave would appropriately be its third anyway, so adding it seems unecessary | Kompys2000
03.13.22 | to add to garage rock: New Bomb Turks, Teenage Head, The Sonics, maybe The Exploding Hearts
to add to Vaporwave: death's dynamic shroud.wmv, Telepath, 2814, Nmesh, Ursula's Cartridges
to add to noise: Yellow Swans, Controlled Bleeding, IRM | normaloctagon
03.13.22 | If shug gets tagged as djent i will riot | ArsMoriendi
03.13.22 | I feel like people are misunderstanding the point of the list... it's not "name every band ever in these genres" it's "what bands will be hard to properly tag with the new genres due to pre-existing tags on them
Like Kompys, none of those garage rock bands except for The Sonics would give that problem | Kompys2000
03.13.22 | if shug does not get tagged as djent I will riot | ArsMoriendi
03.13.22 | Meshuggah is widely known as the founder of djent, so I don't know why norma's against this | Kompys2000
03.13.22 | Maybe it's like an "are Led Zeppelin metal" thing idk | porcupinetheater
03.13.22 | Meshuggah vaporwave gang where u at | ArsMoriendi
03.13.22 | Led Zeppelin is 100% "original" heavy metal, them and Deep Purple were retconned to not be and it's super weird
Especially since Black Sabbath gets to stay heavy metal despite being quite similar | normaloctagon
03.13.22 | "Meshuggah vaporwave gang where u at"
🙋 | Cygnatti
03.13.22 | imo kraut prob shouldn't have gotten in over some other stuff | ArsMoriendi
03.13.22 | I agree, but democracy spoke | SharkTooth
03.13.22 | to add to garage rock: the hives, the vines, mc5, black keys, cage the elephant, and arctic monkeys
to add to vaporwave: George Clanton, James Ferraro, Saint Pepsi, and prob the entire umbrellas of chillwave/future funk which would include Com Truise, Neon Indian, Luxury Elite
tbh we should've gotten a chillwave tag | Sinternet
03.13.22 | "for new wave we should also get Joy Division, Bauhaus, and The Cure"
the only one of these that falls under new wave would be The Cure and that's only for two or three albums | Avagantamos
03.13.22 | all drum & bass should have the electronic tag removed | Storm In A Teacup
03.13.22 | Damn I feel like I have been bitch slapped lol | wham49
03.15.22 | ARS, Black Sabbath and Led Zep are not very similar | Demon of the Fall
03.15.22 | for screamo bands it should be really easy, most have been incorrectly tagged with 'emo' due to the lack of screamo, so it'll be a straight 1-for-1 replacement in a lot of cases, without the need to get rid of a legitimate tag.
I'll be so glad when this can eventually happen. |
