?????????
all genre names are stupid when you think about them
"metal"
"jazz"
"hip-hop"
"progressive dreamfunk"
>>63512760
I always used to wonder how it became "metal". I mean it's a bloody natural resource.
>>63512759
>>63512741
Fuck I'm on my phone
>Shoegaze
>>63512760
Well metal makes sense since it is supposed to be harder than rock
>>63512743
Nah Rocking and Rolling back and forth to the music makes sense to me
>>63512788
The Wikipedia page has plenty of possible explanations. One of them I've heard is it comes from the line in Born to Be Wild, "heavy metal thunder".

Are the only non-stupid genre names baroque and blues? Maybe folk music too, can't really thing of anything else that doesn't sound retarded when you really think about it.

>Well metal makes sense since it is supposed to be harder than rock
Man, this makes a lot of sense. I feel really stupid that I never thought about it like this seeing as it was explained so damn simply.
trap is annoying because its the name of two different genres
same thing is happening with grime
>>63512728
Powerviolence
Axe
lowercase
>>63512828
Yeah I hate that shit
Oi!
>>63512828
What is the non hip hop trap?
>>63512820
Thanks for the link.
>>63512828
And garage.
>>63512821
electronic
acoustic
folk
>>63512828
I wanna shoot myself when people think i like Grimes or RL Grimes
>future funk
>happy hardcore
>>63512840
>Axe
what is this
>>63512848
Folk makes sense. Acoustic is stupid as fuck though considering it's generally watered down top 40 folk tier. I've always seen "acoustic" as simple folk anyway.
>>63512840
Lowercase
>Roden popularized the movement with an album entitled Forms of Paper, in which he made recordings of himself handling paper in various ways.
>>63512848
I already stated folk music in my post, but "electronic" and "acoustic" arent genres really. They are very broad ways to describe the way the music was made. It's like calling certain genres guitar or distortion or notation
>>63512867
>>63512869
yeah i didnt notice you wrote folk until now
the more i think about it the worst genre name is "classical" since 1. it doesnt refer to a sound, it refers to a time period and 2. it doesn't even have to be from that time period
>>63512902
Classical makes sense when you are talking about classical music that was written hundreds of years ago. I understand what you mean though. I generally just call it orchestral music. Makes sense to me.
>>63512862
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ax%C3%A9_(music)
of course it's spic music
>>63512935
doesn't really make sense given that tons of classical music isn't played by an orchestra
>>63512867
that's the stupid thing about the digital age of music.
this musicform makes a lot of sense as a minimal performance, but because there is no trace left of any cultural recognisable context, people just make it a new genre because it sounds weird and has a weird concept
>>63513039
right, except lowercase was being made long before the digitisation of music and the concept of sounds/noise as music has been around for far longer than that...
>house music
>I don't listen at your house but at club
:/
>>63513076
My house is the only place where I listen to house music.
>>63512845
Shitty EDM remixes of pop songs, the term is popular because of a youtube channel called TrapNation.
>>63512956
>fusing different Afro-Caribbean genres, such as Marcha, Reggae, and Calypso
Sounds patrician as fuck. Any album recs?
>>63513072
i know that.
i mean the way its been made popular on /mu/. it's been reduced (or expanded) to a gimmick
>>63512820
>>63512788
I've always thought it's simply because "metal is harder than rock". Pretty stupid, but that's something to expect.
>>63512844
This probably, oher genres sort of explain the music a bit.
Drum and bass. You could basically describe any genre like that. I just prefer calling it hard dub
Psychedelic Trance/Goa
Such a drag answering when people ask me what I listen to- I can't say psychedelic trance or goa without sounding like a huge fucking fedora autist hipster so I just say trance
It just sounds pretentious as fuck
>>63514231
>Drum and bass
>we don't hear the bass and the drum plays the same sample over and over
Not only this is a bad name, it's not even appropriated
>>63514794
>not just saying psytrance
When was the last time you saw a hipster or a fedora wearing faggot at a doof? baka desu
