Not my best idea it seems. I'll try and get the thread closed.

I feel like it would just turn into a popularity contest. We already have "top rated charts" for certain genres that people always look to anyways.

Nah. What if there was a certain border around our avatar that represented we are the king of a genre? Like bubblegum pop would be pink, metal would be steel, blues would be obvious, etc.

Again, I vote NO, because I feel like these "Kings" would feel limited to these genres. I'd like freedom in my approach to music.

Maybe we can just save it for our titles when we reach level 8.
Anyway, as much as I love classic metal stuff, I would feel weird being called the King of it and might feel as though I need more of it and even some more obscure stuff in that genre on my chart.

sheep, I find this whole suggestion weird. Didn't you change your username so people wouldn't just link you to blues rock? Now you want to be declared the king of it?

I'm against the idea. It'd be too difficult to decide who gets assigned to what genre, too difficult to decide what genres to include even, it would give said "Kings" an unnecessary sense of entitlement, it would perhaps make certain users uncomfortable at being seen to represent one genre above all others, and it would burden those users with the (possibly unwanted) responsibility of acting as some kind of guidance councillor to others. If people want recommendations or advice about genres they would like to explore deeper then there is nothing stopping them from starting a thread or sending a PM. I understand the intentions of this concept were good, but I think it's impractical and would cause more problems than it solves. Thanks for the mention though.

I'd like to take that one, but I guess I don't really talk about it that much 😕

Anyway, I agree with what HTTS said mostly.

I don't see the need for it. People know who to trust when it comes to the genres they like. I'm already going to take a hip hop recommendation from lethal a lot more seriously than from say, Naples. I don't see how naming him king of hip hop will help anyone, apart from boosting his ego 🤣

We all know who the unofficial experts are, the fact that you've just been able to name them proves it.

Ah of course, this could work really well.

Looks like I might have to start listening to a lot more... death drone.
