okay. so clearly there is a problem with genre names. They just don’t describe the genre at all. That said, I would like to relabel them for myself. I provided an example of each:
- Smooth Grit: John Mclaughlin – Amelia’s Missing
- Soft Funk: Dave Barnes – Someday Sarah
- Dance Funk: Chromeo – Bonafied Lovin’
- Carefree / Nonchalance: Chairlift – Bruises
- Somehow Significant : Sara Bareilles – One Sweet Love
- Black Depressing Music: Brian Mcknight – 6,8,12
- White Depressing Music: John Mayer – Slow Dancing in a Burning Room
- White operatic singers with glamorous hair: The Darkness – I believe in a thing called Love
- Epic Teen anthems: 3eb – god of wine
- Kids Bop: The Click Five – Angel to you devil to me
- Male Hippie: Glen Hansard – Say it to me now
- Female Hippie: Regina Spektor – Samson
- Talented Christian: Future of Forestry – Twilight
- Non-talented Christian: Rebecca St. James – every single song
- British Builds and hooks: Coldplay – Politik
- British Non-Builds and hooks: Travis – Side
- Black people saying stuff in a cool way: Lupe Fiasco – Hip Hop saved my life
- Black people trying to sing: Kanye West – Love Lock down
- Jay Chou: Jay Chou – Black Humor
- Jay Chou Imitators – Yida – How Long
- Non Jay Chou imitators: Khalil Fong – Love
- Broadway: Wicked – Defying Gravity
- Jazzy instrumental – Bill Evans: Waltz for Debby
Just bored I guess…anyways, on to the rest of the day!
