By the way, how many listed genres do you think their should be? Because I don't want to way go too specific if we ever do that.
Netflix goes way too specific that it's horrible. They have stupid overly specific genres like: "Visually Striking and Imaginative Sci-Fi Horror," "Feel Good Family Features for Ages 11-12," or "Emotional 1980's Dramas Featuring a Strong Female Lead." I don't want anything overboard like that.

I just wanna keep it simple. The most specific would be this "----(Place Decade Here), -----(Place Genre/Sub-Genre Here)
Example: 80's Country-Pop

I got the joke. That was funny stuff!

Maybe people can make a "Top 100 Pretentious Albums" chart? 🤣

I was joking! If we do get tags they should come from a pool of pre-generated ones. No making up your own, to avoid the chaos.

It may end up like Last.fm with tags like 'More gay than a san francisco man in a hawaiian shirt sniffing some liquid gold and watching sex in the city', 'Mainstream in other countries but in poland real underground', 'What the armies of satan listen to as they impale babies' etc.

substitute 'may' for 'will' judging by a lot of activity here lately. might have to rethink this.

Can you really argue that Roger Waters wasn't being pretentious on The Wall?? And while I feel that way, I don't dismiss the album just because of it. I still think it's a great album.

I'm not saying it wasn't "pretentious", but I'm just complaining how often it's used around here.

I agree some rock operas are pretty pretentious (but not necessarily bad). *cough* THE WALL *cough*
Some other good ones are Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage, Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime, and King Diamond's Abigail.

Is the default word for insulting music always "pretentious"?

Please understand that there's a difference between "concept album" and "rock opera". Christ, some of the shit in this thread borders on blasphemy.

The only one I mentioned that was probably my mistake was Operation: Mindcrime. The others are certainly rock operas.

A rock opera is an extremely over-blown and pretentious work that tells a story and is very long. There has only been one good rock opera ever made, which is The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis.

I'd say at the most three genres listed should do it.

Categorizing albums by genre is frequently brought up, but it would be impossible to label every single album as definitive genres. Sure Kind of Blue by Miles Davis could easily be labeled as jazz - but what about The Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens that combines acoustic folk and experimental electric music?

For multiple genres, how about tagging them with all the genres(or at least the most prominent)
