Prefix in Music forum

[FlyingJesus]

There aren't actually that many genres it's just people (mostly metal fans..) make up genres so they can sound more obscure and cool. Still too many to have prefixes for though, and there aren't enough threads in the music section to suggest that you can't just have a look in them to check anyway

There are LOADS of different genre's/

Christian Rock for example.

[FlyingJesus]

That would be rock.

Irrespective of what FJ has said, there are far too many genres to get a prefix on them.

Even if we had:
Rock
Pop
RnB
Urban
Dance
Other

People will always argue how their genre should be a separate category especially as something as personal as music. Thanks for the feedback never the less.

Edit: off-topic but christian rock has more of a pop than a rock sound maybe call it "Indie-rock".

Then all the indie benders would complain. *~NeVeR~*~eNdInG~*~cYcLe~*

But it wouldn't work. Since you get hard/heavy/soft/other types of rock.

And I am a huge fan of Modern Rock and Hard Rock (2nd and 3rd Era), but I couldn't give a monkeys about some other kinds of rock.

But tbh most things posted in the music forum are bands or artists most people recognise anyway.

This is what I meant by people making up too many different genres that don't need to exist. Genre discussion aside though, prefixes still aren't necessary when the music section here is as (in)active as it currently is

What do you mean 'dont need to exist'?

[jackass]

Yeah, as previously stated, it's a nice idea, but not only are there a hell of a lot of different genres, I can't see people using them that often, also due to the fact that some members may not necessarily know which genre the song in question fits into.
