ArsMoriendi: SYNTHPOP tags: what about them

JohnnyoftheWell 01.15.23	are we merging synth-pop with electropop (i think we are): Chromatics REOL Goldfrapp Suiyoubi no Campanella Perfume La Roux Little Boots f(x) Ayumi Hamasaki ZOMBIE-CHANG EMPiRE (JPN) Carly Rae Jepsen KOTO immi Taylor Swift (pop-country-synthpop looks about right) Lorde Kim Petras Kero Kero Bonito Roisin Murphy up for debate: Charli XCX (ugh this feels wrong but) Jessie Ware (pending a fooking DISCO tag) Oklou
JohnnyoftheWell 01.15.23	also i feel that "pop" has meaningful use as a broadchurch tag whereas "electronic", say, does not - would conserve where possible and only cull where it's blocking a more relevant third descriptor. "electronic" can go on a bonfire for most of these (would cull from all my suggestions except Kero Kero Bonito, Charli and probably Perfume - would keep it for the Knife, Crystal Castles and maybe Grimes from the list)
Mort. 01.15.23	someone still needs to do a list for djent and im really not sure about crystals castles being synthpop but thats a minor gripe
ArsMoriendi 01.15.23	RYM has it as the primary genre for all of their albums except Amnesty so I'm not one to disagree
JohnnyoftheWell 01.15.23	synthpop is pretty unrepresentative for Crystal Castles yh, only a handful of their songs really fit as pop songwriting add Sleigh Bells probably
porcupinetheater 01.15.23	We need to invent our own genres for Sput Sleigh Bells = vom pop
JohnnyoftheWell 01.15.23	aight sure Sleigh Bells = rocket skate carlypop CHVRCHES = mint choc Netflixpop Magdalena Bay = AI arcade pop Grimes = ethereal armpit
Colton 01.15.23	johnny what did we JUST talk about
JohnnyoftheWell 01.15.23	read the list title, gauge the topic field, strap yourself to an electric chair goodnight
Colton 01.15.23	johnny I can't help you if you won't help yourself
ArsMoriendi 01.15.23	I'm leaving Jessie Ware off because we deserve a disco tag and I'm stubborn
Bedex 01.15.23	i'm all for dropping dumb/qualifier tags like 'electronic' and 'experimental' on as many artists as possible. Also 'ambient' when it's used as a qualifier/influence and not as the genre, I just don't want my chart to have 20% ambient because I like bands that have interludes in their albums sometimes. rant over
Purpl3Spartan 01.16.23	Do you guys think that synth pop should cover synth wave electronic music and lofi like yu-utsu, Michael Wyckoff, and A.l.I.s.o.n?
ArsMoriendi 01.16.23	Hmmm idk problem there is we're supposed to get vaporwave as a genre eventually based on the votes
arf 01.16.23	I conversely would like a "progressive" qualifier tag because besides progressive rock and metal, there is also progressive folk, pop, electronic, and technically speaking nu-djent is progressive metalcore (and nobody wants it in their progressive metal charts)
Purpl3Spartan 01.17.23	NÃ¼-djent should just be called abomination
foxblood 01.20.23	props for 23
parksungjoon 07.15.23	its a cruel summer
