Vegan Edgecore? Does that mean the band members are vegans, or what?
|
It's all about Sumerian-core. It's all the rage on MetalSucks atm.
There's some interesting sounding electronica sub-genres as well though. Just on Wiki it lists stuff like: Bitpop Chip Balearic Beat Gamewave Nitzhonot (?) Aggrotech Picopop South African psytrance Berlin School ...holy sh*t, just look at this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...c_music_genres I'm actually gonna have to vote electronica on this now. >< Edit: Haha...Clownstep is listed as a sub-genre for drum and bass. Wtf is clownstep. |

if you aren't familiar with any of it then of course you're going to think its ridiculous. but to me and many others, sludge, crust, powerviolence, thrashcore, metalcore, deathcore, etc., etc., etc. - any other genre you deem "ridiculous" - mean very discernably different things. you wouldn't think its ridiculous if you listened to it enough to appreciate the differences. and if you don't then what does it even matter?
to me genre isnt so much about concrete, specific boundaries as a compact description on which to base expectations. so while i wouldn't consider "vegan edgecore" a "legitimate" genre per se (and not that i can say i have ever seen it used...), i would expect something more specific than if you simply described a band as hardcore - which covers a huge amount of subgenres. and as such my answer to the question is none. i know electronica has a huge amount of subgenres possibly rivaling metal/punk, but as i am not familiar with them i'm not going to discount them as ridiculous. i think it's only rational for you (the plural) to take the same stance. |

Eh, whatever. I was just going with the one that I thought had more sub-genres.
By the way, I left out Math and Tech Metal. |
I personally think all genres have too many sub-genres, but metal and electronica definitely stand out. Metal probably being the most ridiculous. Although Blues has an un rivaled amount of sub-genres, quite a few of them are legit.

@Crash_Overide
I counted 67, I wasn't trying so it's probably closer to 70. I remember counting about 45-50 genres of metal on wikipedia, but I've heard about alot of metal genres that are not on wiki (Hyper Metal, Post-Sludge Doom Metal etc. etc.) I wouldn't be surprised if metal is higher... edit: but Blues is probably still more ridiculas so you have me there... |
