For my money it just doesn't get much better than Progressive Narrative Djent Core or Dino Death Crushdown.

Re: Sub genre overkill, not just an EDM problem
Well EDM - as the word is used these days - doesn't have that problem... it just lumps everything into one mainstream "EDM" category

I've never understood the purpose of dividing music into genres.

Oh, that's simple. It prevents you from accidentaly listing to something that is not the new cool.crumhorn wrote:I've never understood the purpose of dividing music into genres.
Also it makes conversations about music at hip parties longer, since name dropping is usually the full extend of these conversations.
Re: Sub genre overkill, not just an EDM problem
If you are looking for new music that resembles Miles Davis or Louis Armstrong for example, wouldn't it be beneficial to have a "Jazz" category in the music store, or website, or wherever to go through in your search for similar sounds, rather than have to go through the catalog A-Z of all the artists of the entire store, website, etc - finding the "jazz" sound you want maybe only every 100-1000 plays?crumhorn wrote:I've never understood the purpose of dividing music into genres.

Thread title changed. I had a choice to make and it appears I originally went with the wrong one.
Going with the other choice now which I figured would have originally gotten the thread completely ignore.

Really?crumhorn wrote:I've never understood the purpose of dividing music into genres.
I mean, we do it with everything. Music, visual art, movies, food, clothes, architecture and on and on.
With music it probably started with the differentiation of sacred and secular music.

I thought it reached the point where clearly nobody is watching the videos which was the actual point of the thread.
Here's another great vid from the same guy on how to hold the mic on stage for noobs.

Witch Doctor music and songs about wine and women, or sometimes war. Basically not much has changed topic wise.

Re: Sub genre overkill, not just an EDM problem
But imagine all the great music you would discover in the process. And if you did limit yourself to the jazz section you won't find anybody else that sounds like Miles Davis or Louis Armstrong. The best way to find closely related music is to do some research into their contemporaries and collaborators. I can't recall ever having bought any music based purely on it's genre label.Da hand wrote:If you are looking for new music that resembles Miles Davis or Louis Armstrong for example, wouldn't it be beneficial to have a "Jazz" category in the music store, or website, or wherever to go through in your search for similar sounds, rather than have to go through the catalog A-Z of all the artists of the entire store, website, etc - finding the "jazz" sound you want maybe only every 100-1000 plays?crumhorn wrote:I've never understood the purpose of dividing music into genres.
normally when I come across some new music that I like I do some research into the artist and his contemporaries, who else played on it, what else have they done, etc. Sometimes I'll buy a record based solely on the mix of instruments being played, I've discovered some great music that way and opened up whole new realms of music by following up on the sleeve notes.
Also I'm being deliberately contentious. Genres can do harm as well as good.

Re: Sub genre overkill, not just an EDM problem
Ok, I admit that my first reaction was what I wrote, but you definitely caught me with your response.... you are right, what you describe is one of the ways I personally very often search for new music. When I want to discover new artists, I go to an online store(s) and go through the catalogs of artists I know already and like and see what remixes or collaborations they did with other artists and then search through those artists' catalogs and then repeat for songs I like by these new artists. That often leads me to discover very cool things in a kind of random way.crumhorn wrote:But imagine all the great music you would discover in the process.

So now I am actually wondering myself what genres are good for - except for just a good all-round feeling of having things categorized and for topics of debate on music at parties lol.
