Give me a stereotype of any genre of music and I will post a song that breaks it.

Rap music has people saying lyrics quasi-musically.

Country music is all about bad relationships, breaking up, trucks, beer, and people crying in their bourbon to their dog. Oh... wait...

Ok, here's mine: all country songs are a) about spreading conservative values (you know, Jeebus, cowboy life, simplicity of country life, marriage, etc), b) animal molestation, or c) both.

Christian music is talentless and focuses more on getting their message across by adopting a generic "cool" style for brainwashing the youth than actually developing their own unique sound and having talent.

Metal is all in drop C.

Crunk core is talentless sh*t (good luck on that one).

What do you mean by Christian music? Do you mean the new contemporary stuff that uses rock and rap, or does this include stuff like Gospel?

I can find some in the Gospel group fitting the requirements of talent and and a unique sound.

All J-rock artists look like convincing women.
Alternatively, all J-rock artists would look like women with enough makeup and a dress.
(not that there's anything wrong with that. mmmm)

It's on the fringe, but it still has to do with the music.
Right?
Right?
Dammit.

My stereotype was aimed at Techno not Techno Jazz Fusion.
It's still techno though. It's just influenced by jazz.

Genres simplify complex and diverse things. With as much variation is there is within music, every little variation in a particular genre can be consider sort of a sub-genre, which is why I stray away from arbitrarily labeling everything. All genres and sub-genres do is put a word over a sound so we all recognize and interpret so that we can communicate with other people about it easier. It's much easier to just say "it's like techno influenced by jazz" then it is to say it's "it's like repetitive, 4/4 beats made using a computer with ambient sound effects, keyboard melodies and saxophones melodies taken from that thing that combines African and European musical styles into a new style."

I don't get too specific with genres, because they are very broad and generalized. I lines that define genres are more blurred for me.

Rapping involves rapping

/thread
Spoken word?

Noun 1. rap music - genre of African-American music of the 1980s and 1990s in which rhyming lyrics are chanted to a musical accompaniment; several forms of rap have emerged

Still Rapping
Chuck D argued that Rap was a vocal style, hip-hop was a genre. He said this in defense of his collaberation with Anthrax, which was not hip-hop but contained rap style vocals.

Shoegaze is nothing but soft vocal gibberish and reverberating guitars!

Post Rock has no vocals whatsoever!

I like this thread! :]
