How do you know what kind of music it is? (metal, genre)

Danother · 04-29-2009, 10:30 PM

Does anyone know of a site that has samples of ALL the different types of music that are out there?

I'm trying to figure out where some of my songs fit, so I can get it out to the right ears, but I'm having a bit of trouble knowing for sure.

Last.fm? Myspace? Purevolume?

I know myspace, but I'm not familiar with the other 2. I'll check them out

That was either a legitimate question, or an ingenious plug.

It was a legitimate question, but if you're suggesting I'm a genius in some way, I'll accept it

there are only two kinds of music that actually count for anything in the world we live in. the good kind, and the rest.

if you're just looking for marketing terms, just make one up, use a word like 'post' or 'proto' as a prefix, maybe even 'meta'. either way, marketing terms are generally pointless and have little to do with the actual type of music you're hearing.

What? You don't know the difference between nu-post-proto-metalcore and post-grind-metalcore? n00b

I pull new genre terms out of my ass all the time, just give us a sample of your music and I'll invent a term for it.

I never undestood genres and always thought I was stupid or something, because everyone else knew the difference between this and that and the other. I still really don't fucking have a clue, it actually sort of pisses me off. Right now I just get an idea of what a term means to me and just put it in my own genras instead of using/learning some complicated BS system someone else came up with. God, fuck genres!
