Done and Pegag is absolutely right.

Since you love wikis so much, check out this one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_88

In addition to Ike Turner, I would also like to place that other Turner, namely Big Joe

I look but I really don't see it. A white gentleman who started recording songs for the first time in the mid-1950s. Then you are not a foundation, but a trend follower and \ or on the moving train jumper ??

Rocket 88 by Ike Turner (albeit under a pseudonym) is from 1951. Thornthon recorded Houndog in 1952. Then no one had heard of Elvis ..... or Gene vincent.

edit: Frans was too quick for me.

Classic:

  • Modern composers
  • Opera
  • Operetta
  • Ancient composers

Seems like a very limited list.

Seems like a very limited list

I had the same comment. I am not a connoisseur but for the fist: polyphony, song, Baroque, Gregorian, atonal, ....

The same for a number of other 'main' genres. Some are extensive, others skeletal.

I would also bring together chanson, schlager and spoken word under ' Vocal' .

Why singer / songwriter among folk? That is not a genre, unless you want to throw Don Van Vliet, Warren Zevon and Bob Dylan together.

Question: are the subgenres free fields? If not, it is best to consult with experts of each main genre, otherwise the administrators will be constantly adding the subrenres.

Another question: are multiple subgenres possible?

Another question: where do you place orchestral music such as James Last, Herp Albert etc? At Jazz? Maybe Easy-Listening provided?

chanson and schlager just as well do not belong under one heading (Vocal), just as singer / songwriter does not belong under folk.

Vocal isn't a genre / kind and singer / songwriter isn't a genre / kind either, right?

Mari Boine and Edith Piaf should not be classified in the same genre

Where would you like to place Marie Boine? World music is also such a vague slogan, but it is certainly not chanson. (Pop in mother tongue?)

@Jilles

very difficult, when you hear her music, especially the first albums, it is more jazz, folk, rock, but she sings in her own language (sami).

I would then say: Jazz and as a subgenre: folk, although others would have a different opinion.

First of all, credit to whose future: the administrators have stuck out their necks to make us a proposal, regardless of the fact that this proposal can be wholly or partially razed to the ground.

The reactions were quick and some points immediately became clear pain points!

General remarks:

I have not fully understood what is meant by “genre” in the proposal.

- If one means music genre then the subgenre “big band” is definitely not a genre . The Big Band orchestras have been around since the late 1920s to the present day, but they don't all play the same genre of music.

For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigband

- Modern composers and old composers : what do they have to do with “genre” as such? And where is the boundary between old and modern: the century in which they lived and who will determine the difference? It just leads to a stupid and pointless discussion!

- Dutch: is certainly not a genre. Moreover, it comes across as racist and narrow-minded:

As if there is no cabaret in Germany or France, as if the children's songs are only sung in the Low Countries and the radio plays (including English-language specialty) are only heard by people who understand Dutch.

Cabaret, children's songs and radio plays are main genres.

- Musical is now listed as a subgenre under Soundtrack

Please read:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical

and the conclusion is that Musical niket can only be seen and heard in a film and as a genre is older than the date of the creation of the film.

Musical is a main genre

for me

Proposals

I'm not going to introduce myself to genres I know less about.

I would like to refer to the Wikipedia site:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_styles_per_genre

I fully endorse the listed genres for classical :

Classic (chronological)

Church music

Medieval music

Renaissance

Baroque music

Classicism

Romance

Avant-garde

Modern music

I am a bit more reserved for the more recent Jazz genres, as the compositions are often a mixture or try to be a mixture of various genres. There is still room for improvement on that list:

Jazz

Swing

Acid jazz

Bebop

Bop

European jazz

Latin jazz

Hard Bop

Cool jazz

Post-bop

Jazzfunk

Jazz rock

Fusion

Free jazz

Lounge

Neo-bop

Now jazz

Pop Jazz

Smooth Jazz

Soul Jazz

West coast

New Orleans Jazz

Dixieland

Novelty piano

Ragtime

Chicago jazz

Gypsy Jazz

NB:

Electronic is written with a k , not with a c.

We have loosened up something I notice :-)

One of the starting points was the list as we already had it. Not only to avoid having to provide all items with one or more genres again, but also to prevent the list (s) from becoming too long. Naturally, we also consulted various websites; Morits is not the only one who can type in www.wikipedia.org :-)

Taking over an internet list just like that was and is a bit easy. 80 different styles of jazz, but I'm afraid most users will fill in very little. It is therefore necessary to narrow the list to the most wanted and used genres. I have no idea how many Spanish radio plays or children's songs are currently in CW, but it won't be many.

Dutch as a genre discriminating? I do not know. In any case, it is not intended as such. I do know that there are quite a few items that fall under that (over 4,700). Not surprising, of course, for an originally Dutch-language database.

Classic should certainly be more extensive than it is in the proposal. There is no administrator specializing in classic as far as I know.

60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s as a genre seems very difficult to me. The criterion is that the song must have been recorded or released in the relevant decade. You can also use the selection menu for that.

I have two more comments for Morits:

1. You don't link artists (in your case Zappa) to a genre within CW. You link the work in question. Zappa has made albums that I would classify as pop, but also albums that you could classify as jazz or classical.

2. The fact that we as administrators would reinvent the wheel and then not even very well, is something you could also attract yourself. After all, you are also an administrator of this category yourself, but you were not there during the meeting. There may be a good reason for this, but you also did not respond to the proposals that were emailed and you were also very silent during the discussion in the admin forum.

why limit yourself in the number of (sub) genres that can be listed. Whether or not any piece of music is linked to it does not matter for the completeness of the list. It is only a one-time interpretation and after that you do not have to do anything about it. So name it as completely as possible, nobody will be bothered by that.

The administrator meeting took place on Friday, September 24 in Utrecht. René has invited all music managers for this. Present were Pete Molenaar, Dick25, Joe Louis, milvajunk, René and the undersigned. I understand that not everyone can be there and that doesn't matter. But as a result, a discussion has started in the admin forum. It would have been nice if you'd added your ideas to that instead of here in the main forum.

As for the breadth of subgenres, I think most collectors will soon drop out if the lists get too extensive. Most will fill in the main genre at most. Because the more genres, the more difficult it is to provide an album (or track) with a (sub) genre.

But I understand we can call on you if all 71,000 items need to be provided with new genres :-)

Nice, such a pee contest. I just don't think we'll achieve anything like this here.

If really serious 'research' had been done (for example on Wiki) then such an ignorant list would not have been compiled (twice even), with all due respect.

To be honest, I don't have the patience to wait for a happy ending to this discussion (it never will). Apparently every subgenre costs money, otherwise this resistance to many subgenres would be pointless. Especially since other sites have no problem with it. You must have very good reasons to reinvent the wheel ...

But I understand that we can call on you if all 71,000 items need to be provided with new genres :-)

I'd like to help, but you guys got yourself in such trouble with not so smart choices like Rock and Pop as one genre, that I'm afraid there's actually no good solution to this problem .

It is true that an estimation error was made in the beginning unfortunately.

But as long as one is not yet able to add or supplement the data correctly, such as the number of scan tracks etc.

I don't think it makes sense to make a very extensive list

and this is a first step which has now been underway for more than six months.

and we have not got ourselves into trouble but the endless discussion

so just make a quick decision and keep further details in mind.

but being the first to add as completely as possible and according to the agreements would make a difference.

Agreed, the list of main genres is actually too extensive. Rock and Pop. keep them together. Rock is actually Pop with an attitude.

You can make the subgenres a free field, so everyone can do their own thing there.

Rock is actually Pop with an attitude.

Yes and Soul is basically Gospel with only a solo voice and Jazz is basically negro spirituals with a beat. You could then summarize Jazz and Blues as "black folk music", but what do you do with Hip Hop? And so on ... This of course makes no sense.

Rock and Pop are ultimately very different things, if only because Rock knows a lot of subcats that have nothing to do with pop anymore. Pop belongs exclusively to the charts and rock has an excellent life beyond it as well. Rock sometimes sounds like Pop and Pop sometimes sounds like Rock, but that doesn't make it 1 genre.

You can make the subgenres a free field, so everyone can do their own thing there.

You do have a point here. That would save a lot of bullshit. I had suggested tags before and if one can show them in tag clouds by main genre then that might be an excellent way to show many necessary subgenres in a well-organized manner. When filling in these tags, suggestions of existing tags should also be shown so that not everyone will reinvent their own wheel. Seems like a breeze from a technical point of view.

I will now make an attempt to come up with a proposal for main genres, because that is actually the necessary start of the discussion about subgenres:

Alternatively
Blues
Country
Electronic / Dance
Film music
Spoken word
Heavy Metal
Hip Hop
Jazz
Classic
Latin
Modern Composers
Dutch
Pop
Reggae
Rock
Rock 'n' Roll
Urban
Folk music
World Music

I remain committed to my fundamentalist position that Pop and Rock should be separated. I would even be willing to convert everything to the two divorced parents (not everything has to be done manually or via the site).

Frans's list is, as he himself indicates, not yet complete.

Punk and new wave have long been entwined in a forced marriage. But you can live with that when subgenres follow. I will be far from complete, but at least I see the following subgenres in front of me:

- Punk (Sex Pistols, GBH, The Exploited)

- (American) hardcore (Agnostic Front, 7 seconds, Bad Religion)

- Oi! (Cockeny Rejects, Anti-Heros)

- Emocore (Embrace, The Promise Ring)

- New Wave (Joy Division, Smiths)

- Gothic (Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie and the Banshees)

- Post Punk (Blondie, Ian Dury)

- Grunge (Nirvana, Pearl Jam)

- No Wave (Sonic Youth, Marc Ribot)

Pop belongs exclusively to the charts and rock has an excellent life beyond it as well. Rock sometimes sounds like Pop and Pop sometimes sounds like Rock, but that doesn't make it 1 genre.

If you hear the same thing, it's the same: Thin Lizzy is Rock and Abba is Pop. Blondie = punk? No I think that's just doll (Debbie Harry was a smart girl and jumped on the right train). Nirvana could just as well be classified under Metal.

Why do you always have to want to keep everything in new boxes? The most gruesome mess of recent times is India. The Ting Tings are supposedly Indie. Ammehoela, that's just great doll.

So again: limit the main genres and leave the freaks the freedom to enter countless sub-genres ;-)

And I think there were only 2 really good 'real' punk groups and they are The Clash and The Ramones.

Ha Scam,

I think we are talking about subgenres and not main genres, so I don't fully understand your email. I also don't understand your comment about Blondie and punk, because I don't think it is there either.

Pop is all music that was or will be played in the top 50 or whatever it is called today, regardless of genre. So pop is in fact not a genre, but a receptacle for all music that is (or has been) popular. From that perspective you can call Nirvana and Thin Lizzy pop.

When you then look at the genres you really curse in the church when you mention Nirvana metal, it is not like punk and indie rock. What it is, however, is a mix, called grunge, a generally accepted term for a musical movement.

The Clash and The Ramones, together with a band like The Sex Pistols, have laid the "popular" foundation for punk. But let's face it, if you only call the founding fathers "real", then almost all bands can be called fake, right?

What kind of people do you think specific music genres like punk, oi !, hardcore, emocore, etc. collect? Those are not the generalists who like music, you are talking about a lifestyle.
