Genre extravaganza

Anonymous · 2014-05-28T15:01:52-04:00

So, Repoman came up with a ballin idea about a genre thread where we just nominate genres and then create threads/make recs based upon albums within that genre. I assume that the most broad genres really won't be a popular thing (such as electronic, rock, metal, etc. Basically anything that encompasses all sounds within a certain style of music) so basically just nominate the genres you wanna see have a recommendation thread/discussion thread (depending on how we want to do this) and then we'll throw them into the random hat generator and create a thread weekly (so that too many threads don't overshadow one another). I liked the idea, what about the rest of you guys (won't really be much of an extravaganza without a large group)? EDIT: Other additions could be charts which encompass genres attached to each thread or whatever as well as possibly deciding the most important albums regarding each genre. However, the idea is mainly to get more obscure albums into people's radars, but it doesn't need to have that limitation. THE EDIT TO END ALL EDITS Genres chosen so far: American Primitivism: Nominated by Brandon shoegaze: Nominated by the trumpet playing Walrus slowcore: Nominated by Walrus folk rock: Nominated by Repoman post-punk: Nommed by Repo post-Hardcore: Nommed by Repo Stoner Rock/Metal: Nommed by Norman Sludge metal: Nommed by Norman Drone: Nommed by Norman Krautrock: Nommed by Nick Jazz Fusion: Nommed by Nick Electric Blues: Nommed by Nick Post - Rock: Nommed by Irish Country/rural blues: Nommed by Mercury Neo-Psychedelic: Nommed by Atonio Punk: Nommed by Atonio New Wave: Nommed by Miles Dark cabaret: Nommed by Suede Neo-classical: Nommed by Suede Latin Alternative: Nommed by Happymeal Black Metal: Nommed by Nech RIO (Rock in opposition): Nommed by Nech Ambient: Nommed by Nech Power metal: Nommed by Gowie Emo: Nommed by Gowie Trip - hop: Nommed by Soundguardian Grunge: Nommed by Soungguardian dub: Nommed by Noxwax techno: Nommed by nowax indie pop/C86: Nommed by nowax funk: Nommed by nowax Trap rap: Nommed by Window indie hip-hop: Nommed by /0 modern classical: Nommed by /0 IDM: Nommed by /0 Noise rock: Nommed by Repoman Space Rock: Nommed by Repoman Country: Nommed by Drak Outlaw Country: Nommed by Happymeal Drum N Bass: Nommed by antaios downtempo: Nommed by downtempo Art Rock: Nommed by downtempo Art pop: Nommed by revolver West Coast Hip Hop: Nommed by Lethal Hair Metal: Nommed by Rocky Grunge: Nommed by Jman Dream pop: Nommed by Cuba Progressive Country: Nommed by Happymeal Volunteers: Gowie - Power metal, Emo, Noise Rock Nech - Death metal, Krautrock Happymeal - Latin Alternative Mercury - Delta blues, Rural/Country blues Spacetiger - Delta blues Lethal - Hip hop, Reggae, Soul, UK Urban Dance Dividesbyzero - Post-minimalism, spectralism,Indie Hip Hop, IDM Precedent - Country-Pop, Neo Soul, Pop - Rap from 00's to 10's Kool Keith Sweat - Los Angeles punk late 70's - mid 80's Mies - Stoner Rock RepoMan - Noise Rock, Proto-punk/Punk/Hardcore, Post-punk , Post-hardcore , Post-rock NickVolos - Krautrock, Jazz Fusion, Electric Blues meccalecca - American primitivism, Slowcore, Post-Punk Suede - Indie Pop, Shoegaze Tonality - Drum n bass Rocky - Hair Metal Lethal - Gangsta rap eyezayzay - Grunge, Soul, Neo-Soul, Trip Hop, Shoegaze, Dream pop, Neo-Psychadelic rock/pop, Synth Pop, Synth punk, Witch House, chillwave, Ethereal Wave, Alternative Dance, nerdcore rap OTHER IMPORTANT EDIT: For anyone joining us who is late to the party, I'd recommend having a read through the whole thread. A bit has changed from the original post (which I will eventually get to edit regarding those particular changes) so reading through the whole thread might be best. Basically, you can nominate a genre if you want to and not have to know a lot about it (this concept never required that anyways, but I wanted to make it explicit). A schedule will come, but we're still working out a few kinks and nominations are still going on (I actually don't know when I should end that, but a suggestion was made regarding a genre subforum here so I'm mainly waiting for a response from AM on that as it'll make this much easier to get done). However, here's the explanation regarding the volunteers section of this post. Basically, volunteers are just people willing to start the particular genre thread giving a history (how much is up to them) of the genre and some necessary albums that someone should listen to if they have no foothold within that genre. The process will work like this. We will first work out a schedule (this will happen after we have nominations complete which we are still waiting on AM's response to the thread in the suggestions subforum). After that, I'll message the person a week in advance (they'll know when their turns are because of the schedule, but just in case they didn't notice, the message will help) so they'll have something prepared (however, if you do it last minute, it's no problem) for their day. As an addition, I believe working our way bottom up (subgenre to main genre) would work out the best. I'm not sure about others though so be sure to respond to the idea if you take issue with it. After they make the thread, any member can come in, give their opinion and/or discuss what constitutes an album being in that genre. However, recommendations should be prioritized, but I personally would enjoy seeing discussion too so it'd be great to see some comments regarding the particular albums you recommend. I'll be editing a bit more as to add more information. If you have any qualms regarding the current process/system, be sure to respond in thread and suggest some improvements! Any way to make this easier and/or better would be appreciated! MORE INFORMATION REGARDING PROCESS: A bit has changed regarding the process as a whole. Since many people are volunteering for a time period (and we decided time periods were not going to be allowed regarding genre threads), I think that a more collaborative effort will assist in this regard. This means that if a genre has several volunteers, instead of one person overlooking the creation of the genre thread, several of them will. How they achieve this is up to them, but the point is that this will require far more cooperation than previously mentioned. Also, for those of you who might be confused, whenever a genre thread is created, the main idea of it is to create discussion and get recommendations at the same time. I'd rather not this be another recommend and leave type of activity so be sure to write reviews on finds, the albums you post, and discuss the genre in general. Be sure to ask any questions you have. Remember, this is a very friendly community regarding discovery and that we will attempt to assist you in any way possible if you don't comprehend something.

We ha a voting thread Jman, I believe Black Metal is next after Indie Pop does pt2

I know it's not soon. No one appears on grunge's crew on the OP, so I'm asking if I can handle it.
