Like fam at the end of the day its just music, does it sound good to your ear or not.

Literally genres only exist because we treat music as a product to be marketed, not as art

never. people like classifying things

no, genres exist because you cant judge metal music the same way you can hip hop.

Genres don’t affect the quality is just a way to categorize music

op hit two puffs of green and then decided to make this thread

You sounding like Post Malone

We will always have genres and subgenres

genres are trash

its just music fam wish we would just leave it at that

It wouldn't even be possible. In the future we'll actually have MORE genres.

Nope, the importance of playlists to sales further increases the need genres

No. I don't mind genres but genres do limit music a bit and it's because we hold music to the standard that it has to be autobiographical

Hence being divided by culture rather than just style. I also have a theory that music genres being divided by culture makes it harder to make money in music but that would be too long

Like I highly doubt Avengers Endgame would have grossed $2.8bil if film genres were divided by culture

Anyone who b****es about genres only listens to like 5 people and be like dude music is music!

Every single artform has classification. Idk why you niggas always act like music is the only art with genres

people will use "keywords" instead of "genres"

Because genres in other mediums of art are classified by style

Music is classified by style and culture

Whats the difference? I see no problem with music being intertwined with culture. That's how most of it was born and a lot of the emotional weight in songs comes from it

Nothing wrong but it's understandable if people view that as a limitation to artistic expression

A movie can be made about anything and anybody can like it, but certain people won't like certain music because it doesn't represent their culture or it represents a culture they don't like
