It’s getting there. Spotify said I listened to something to the tune of 900 different genres last year. One band can have 12 or more different genres attached.
Considering it’s the norm when you aren’t doing something genre typical to take two ir more genres and just smoish the names together. This way you get things like blackened death metal (black plus death) or epic gothic power metal (take a guess). Now smoosh those teo examples together and you get something like blackened gothic melodic death metal. See that there, now we get into the transformative properties of metal subgenres. Death metal with a bit more melody and structure, which power metal has in spades, becomes melodic death metal.
Fun isn’t it? Also I may have bullshitted together half of the above. But it is a real thing
Damn, I’ve heard of black metal and doom metal, but funeral doom metal? Metal subgenres continue to get more specific lol
Pretty soon, there’s going to be gloomy metal genres so specific that they’re named after specific funeral plots and mausoleums.
So you are saying that isn’t already the case?
Dunno, maybe? 🤷
