Skinhead reggae... WTF. This list is hilarious

Actually, skinhead reggae is a totally legit genre. It's what they call the early reggae that skindheads liked to listen to. It was based on the organ-driven sound of American soul music and was before the symbolism of Rastafari movement overtook the music of Jamaica.

I'll be honest I didn't know that.

Consider yourself chankgeez'd.

Lol. Where would the Chankgeez genre fit? Organic and bouncy?

[Chankgeez]

Chankgeez'd really be "every noise at once". Definitely "organic" and somewhat "bouncy" though.

What's the significance of the "deep" modifier on genres? There are a lot that are just (genre) and then Deep (genre) and they're more or less the same genre, with a little nuance or maybe just newer iterations of an older genre. I'm honestly curious if it's real in some cases and/or maybe just an artifact of how some people are labeling their playlists on Spotify or something.

[Chankgeez]

I wouldn't put too much weight on those descriptors like "deep". They're essentially meaningless. Unless you're talking about an acknowledged genre like "Deep House".

I still maintain a lot of those aren't actual genres (or if they are they're unnecessarily splitting sub-genres down even further). Also, a lot of 'em aren't even accurate. They group people or bands together who really don't have anything to do with each other. It's based on tracked data from Spotify. So, it relies on how people tag things. Not the most thoroughly precise method to compile something like this. It may be interesting, but it sure ain't anything to go by.

Also "clarinet" isn't a genre. It's an instrument.

That Dance-Punk example is awful. Get some Moving Units up in that biddie. I've listened to Shitdisco before. Most disappointing music matching a good name.

As a person who was once a tuba performance major, I would go on spotify and just put in tuba to find stuff from guys like Phil Sinder and Arnold Jacobs. Who could forget the Tubadours? Ammarite? I could see there being a clarinet genre. I suppose I am more post modern deep tuba, nowadays.
