owen: New genre tags? | Sputnikmusic

owen 05.09.17	which genre tags would you like to see? Or do you think too many genre tags would result in a huge clusterfuck?
Satellite 05.09.17	file under things that aren't going to happen
TVC15 05.09.17	I'm still mystified by new wave not being a genre tag
butcherboy 05.09.17	List is a great idea.. Art punk is needed! And a better breakdown of jazz subtypes too
Satellite 05.09.17	screamo too
owen 05.09.17	just noticed devo is tagged as new age amazing
Satellite 05.09.17	also there are approximately 3,000 metal subgenres but virtually none for hip-hop
AlexKzillion 05.09.17	Site needs a djent tag [100000000] and a Trap tag too prob
Spacesh1p 05.09.17	No it will never happen.
SandwichBubble 05.09.17	New Wave [2] This Entire List [2]
pjquinones747 05.09.17	Hip-Hop deserves more genre differentiation. I've been getting more into it and have discovered a lot of different sounding groups that all fall under hip-hop but are so different from one another. For an underground music site they do a bad job catering to multiple audiences. As a huge metal fan I get the prevalence of metal for sure, but hip-hop and even punk don't get enough love. Also we definitely need a new wave subgenre. Two thumbs up to you for this list, sir.
danielcardoso 05.09.17	Yeah cool idea. Bossa nova and fado could use an inclusion as well.
AlexKzillion 05.09.17	Should probably be a deathcore tag too
butcherboy 05.09.17	Art punk sort of covers some of it, but No Wave should be a tag in itself.. James Chance and the Contortions are labeled as post-punk currently, which is all kinds of wrong
owen 05.09.17	was thinking about including no wave, but it's more of a scene/movement than a real genre I guess
Chortles 05.09.17	hey well we got a bunch new genre tags in 2012 or something at least
AlexKzillion 05.09.17	Fr tho what other hip hop tags would really need to be added??
Cygnatti 05.09.17	new wave and skramz at the very least pls
AmericanFlagAsh 05.09.17	New Wave for sure
Tunaboy45 05.09.17	don't even try, never works
theBoneyKing 05.09.17	I think the tag we need the most is folk metal so that we won't have metalheads who don't know shit about folk music with folk in their pie charts. In general I think the genre tags here are serviceable enough, if you want more specific tags just go to RYM.
buzzkites 05.09.17	i think neo-prog would be nice since i had to use prog and electronic for one band recently or whatever mine creativity is even nicer
Satellite 05.09.17	"site goes down like 3 times a month yeah hopefully they're working on genre tags" 123
zaruyache 05.09.17	we'll be getting new genre tags right after the 2017 chart goes live. source: secret mod
owen 05.09.17	I want to browse the noise rock charts on here without sifting through merzbow-esque noise
Clegane 05.09.17	I want to live forever in a land where summer lasts a thousand years. I want a castle in the clouds where I can look down over the world. I want to be six-and-twenty again. When I was six-and-twenty I could fight all day and fuck all night. What men want does not matter.
TVC15 05.09.17	Oh yeah noise as a genre itself shoukd be a tag for artists like Merzbow
FakeOne 05.09.17	@owen yeah, a distinction between noise rock and noise would be nice new wave also is a no-brainer, just like the expansions of jazz and hip-hop tags A heavy psych/ neo-psych tag would also be quite nice.
theBoneyKing 05.09.17	Heartland rock
theBoneyKing 05.09.17	Oh yeah and we really really really need chamber pop like wtf
literallyzach 05.09.17	i just want a jpop tag
KManoc1 05.09.17	We really need an Alternative Metal tag.
wham49 05.09.17	personally i hate the genre tags as a rule, not for helping identify what kinid of music a band plays but for the band, who all too often make music to fit the genre they are assigned to, which is why I like the 70's, everybody was doing what they wanted even different from album to album, because they only had to be under the rock, or metal genres, so they had more freedom to experiment without alienating themselves
Papa Universe 05.09.17	Screamo
owen 05.09.17	that still happens though, you just have to look harder 90% of this list wouldn't fit in a single genre
PattBraderson 05.09.17	I think some more genres are needed but its also a slippery slope of complete and utter nonsense (looking at you metal). A change id much rather see would be for Genre tags to pertain to albums rather than artists. David Bowie's Blackstar is the #1 punk album from last year ?? umm excuse me? hahah yeah ok
SitruK6 05.09.17	"only two jazz tags is a bit lacking tbh" [666]
owen 05.09.17	A change id much rather see would be for Genre tags to pertain to albums rather than artists[2] this but it would be too much trouble to implement it
Brewtality91 05.09.17	terrible idea it will never work
theBoneyKing 05.09.17	R Y M
Chortles 05.09.17	yeaaa^ rym will always be superior in terms of genre tagging and charts
theBoneyKing 05.09.17	I mean I understand the desire for a better system here but like it already exists elsewhere and the chances of it actually changing here are pretty low.
rockandmetaljunkie 05.09.17	Avant-garde metal is such a stupid term
rockandmetaljunkie 05.09.17	would much rather love to see the addition of two more genres in my musical taste pie tbh
hobblepot 05.09.17	fuck new genre tags, when will we get that fabled sputnik app? I can't be the only person on this site who uses their phone
AmericanFlagAsh 05.09.17	"we'll be getting new genre tags right after the 2017 chart goes live. " Made me lol
hasan 05.09.17	Hey you can make all kinds of music when you think about it music is music it all gose together as long as it sounds good who cares give the fans an options to what They want ti hear right it not like were going to do the jig lol
Sinternet 05.09.17	Gimme that sweet sweet synthpop tag pls bb
Satellite 05.09.17	mx has forsaken us don't blame him tbh
elliootsmeuth 05.09.17	Avant-garde metal, skramz, krautrock, and new wave are definite essential
