Instead, read the rules about self-promotion and advertising: Forum Rules You're free to send me a PM or to another mod if you need to argue that you're actually not promoting.

If you want to play guess what genre this and that band is, there is a thread that does something similar: http://www.musicbanter.com/general-m...ll-thread.html
I read a sticky or two. Didn't really find any help there. In all honesty, bringing up specific sounds of artists instead of using "genre naming guidelines". Has given me better results.

finding how music lovers "dubb" emerging or current artists is apart of my effort in helping the industry (through reports) direct their artists sound toward or away from something.

The current artist, My Starving Lion, has a sound I accidentally stumbled upon. Actually a smaller band ive worked for told me about their presence at a local show. I went to google and youtube and found them. Simple as that. One comment on youtube said something like, "sounds allot like owl city". Since no one has been able to classify this specific sound. I am trying to.

I haven't uploaded a video or anything of the sort for this artist. My other thread is along the same lines as, "genre dubbing". Just a more technical approach to naming genres. So I dont have any idea how I "snuck" them into this forum. They happen to be on my personal plate.

I am only using the example of what others think they sound like to apply to other artists that need guidance/examples of this sound trend.
