Over the past week and a half I decided to update and organize all the music on my computer. Make sure spellings are correct, release year, record label, etc. As well as labeling the correct genre. After being halfway through “C” I already have added about 20 new genre. Why can’t metal, just be metal. Is a band going to be that upset that I don’t refer to their music as Atmospheric Post Blacked Sludge. Should I go back and just label everything as metal, or continue and see how many ridiculous genres.

    I just do the main genres and then combinations of those, if I feel that specific band has clear influences from a genre. Sometimes, I do subgenres, when I have many bands from some of the big genres and feel like I need more discrimination

      Sometimes, it’s not a feeling, but whatever I find on discogs or musicbrainz. It has to make sense, in the end, I guess.

        Dude, I have combed through so many sites, just to be like "Hope this is the right sub-genre for this band " going to just do simple basic bitch genres.
