genres?

im still hard at work developing the 'audiblefaction'
electronic music review site. and am currently starting work
on the trak submisions pages.

now, heres where i need your help. i want to be able to let
the artists choose a genre for there song to be listed
under.

so im after your ideas on electronic music genres?

list as many as you can think of, without going into techno
and trance and stuff like that. im not really planning on
representing those kinds of genre on the site. more the
experimental stuff.

so yeah, any ideas?

downbeat (boards for me)

multi media (eg electro when visuals are part of the
production, other elments are as much part of the
composition as the music)

retrospective (those that use old-styled sounds, im thinking
team doyobi)

developing (those that defy current categorisation.. messing
with unusual elements to make unusual grooves.. autechres
latest stuff fits here)

conventional [mainstream?] (heard-it-all before snare
rushing stuff, you know what i mean)

(experimental) dance (you could go into sub categories here
if you wanted, but right now im thinking of brothomstates
cut-up but still quite techno inspired material)

industrial (more noise inspired, or focusing on deliberately
darker elements etc)

ambient (for me its immediately minimalist, but works around
sensations rather than rhythm, focused on mood)

i could go on. see you guys react to this lot :]

they help other people know what you you are talking about
if you are trying to describe something they've never heard.

yeah genres are crap. you can just describe music by how it
sounds. for example, when describing autechre i say to
people, "its electronic with a lot of clicks and pops,
nevermind, here is a c.d. for you to borrow and listen too
and make your own decisions."
then the next day they either come back saying, "that was
shitty" or "that was dope, can you gimme some more stuff
that sounds like that?"
and i say, "absolutely, i love to help people like you
expand their musical perspectives."
its like being a musical missionary.
