The Sound of Music of Louisville Sound

Math Rock, Emo, and Slowcore are all a stretch for me. Even Experimental Rock seems a bit...disingenuous? (The term 'Experimental' in and of itself is waaaaay too saturated across the RYM database.)
Also I have no idea wtf Louisville Sound is supposed to be but apparently this is the best album of that precise type so 🤷♀️

Slowcore seems the most legit of that selection to me, it certainly has some of those vibes. I don't have enough of a stranglehold on what 'Experimental Rock' actually represents, so idk because on the surface it appears vague. I was wondering.
me neither re Louisville but it sounds cool so let it be. I've noticed a lot of these 'regional' tags that are seemingly used to pin certain acts / albums to their local music scenes - some probably make more sense than others, because geography is of course only part of the equation.
RYM seems to have a tendency to excessively tag in general, which makes it the complete opposite of Sputnik, lol

because genre debates are the lowest form of musical conversation

I kinda like debates /about/ genre debates. Sometimes I say stuff like "genre is like race..."

Genre discussions can be interesting, i often learn new things about cities, regions, and other groups and their exchange of ideas and sounds which influence the development of new genres or subgenres. Additionally, i enjoy learning how other people perceive certain aspects of a genre. I had a short and interesting exchange over discord the other day about how to identify nu metal when the band in question doesn’t incorporate hip-hop influence into their music. I do also find “the *insert city name here* sound “because it gives insight into what a group of artists was doing in that city during a given time period, which is usually unique to that city and time period.
Of course, like any topic, genre can be nitpicked into oblivion
Gatekeeping, on the other hand.. That is probably the lowest form of musical conversation..

not at all. two totally different things. discussing genres, especially as a means of encouraging further discovery is cool. sitting around debating which obscure subgenre an album falls under and forcing it into a broad categorization instead of analyzing the album individually is lame

A fair point! I would argue that some of the comments on the last page fall into the ‘debate’ category you mentioned, and some would fall into the ‘discuss’ category you mentioned. Tec and Demon’s comments in particular seem more discussion based to me
