So we all know there is rock - blues - country - pop and etc etc etc - the "main" categories


So I'm going to throw some "psychology" into our music thread


What subcategories have we made??? Like example of one already created

Teeny bopper

That is pop that is listened to by "children" - like Jonas Brothers today and I dunno, the Monkeyes back in the 60's

So....what are the other ones WE created?

man people

ya know....

like... "Stoner rock"

thatd be one


or uhhh..... like.... the bands who play with instruments -- like the mainheim steamrollers or something - music like that goes to a "set" type of people

or ----- like "lilith" fair stuff- would be "lesbians"

or...hmmm... ya know i dont wanna do all the thinking

there r all kinds of stereotypes............

the reason i made the thread was to "discuss" whether or not u believe in the stereotypes

new age

who listens to new age tho?

youre almost there...now put the other piece with it

One could aruge that the "main categories" you listed (rock, blues, country, pop, etc.) are subcategories themselves. They would be listed under the Popular music genre as opposed to the Classical music genre (whose subgenres. (i.e., eras) would include Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, etc.).

There is also the division of secular music and sacred music, but that's ususally choral music.

We have made all genres, subgenres categories, subcategories, stereotypes, what have you.

Example: rock and roll. The phrase is widely acknowledged as meaning to shake something up, to dance and/or have sex. So songs that had that phrase in their lyrics or music that people listened to while dancing rambunctiously, etc., would be called "rock and roll music." At least that's one way of looking at it.

what about.... emo somthing and goth whatever, is that what you mean
and maybe house, garage, grime, techno, electro pop?

alternative rap? - like rap singing to electric guitars and actual drums
