Bad Genre Names

Inhuman · 10.17.2006, 01:55 PM

Just heard a few today on pitchfork, and inspired me to post some of the ones I've heard in the past:

Avante-pop
Beard-Core
Post Metalcore
Undercore

TheDom · 10.17.2006, 02:02 PM

Sadcore
Symphonic Metal

DJ Rick · 10.17.2006, 02:28 PM

Most posts and cores are dumb.

Trasher02 · 10.17.2006, 02:29 PM

Disco!

DJ Rick · 10.17.2006, 02:39 PM

Disco may be a mostly shitty genre, but I think it's a perfectly great name to describe what it was.

"Death Disco" on the other hand...that's reaching a bit too far to attempt to legitimize a stylistic trend circa 2002.

Savage Clone · 10.17.2006, 02:40 PM

Dub Step
Breakcore
Post Rock
Happy Hardcore

drrrtyboots · 10.17.2006, 02:50 PM

Noise because there's too much confusion in that.

strictlycommercial · 10.17.2006, 03:02 PM

What the fuck is beard-core?

gmku · 10.17.2006, 03:17 PM

Post-disco
Disco-punk
Proto-disco
Disco-core

Seriously, I've seen/heard all of these used--in some fairly pretentious reviews, needless to say.

DJ Rick · 10.17.2006, 03:40 PM

If I had to wager a guess at "beard-core," is it at the intersection of krauty psych, prog, and freaky folky type music....e.g. USA Is a Monster, Oneida, Jackie-O Motherfucker, etc.

Rob Instigator · 10.17.2006, 03:43 PM

beard core is hardcore bands that have beards

Rob Instigator · 10.17.2006, 03:44 PM

I do not like this genre, but I think the genre name suits is perfectly and is an apt descriptiopn of the bands, the sounds, the songs, and the fans

nomadicfollower · 10.17.2006, 03:54 PM

Cowpunk

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I think the worst genre name is "grunge".

noisemachine · 10.17.2006, 04:07 PM

I have not even heard of most of these genres. Why do people feel the need to classify music down to the most insignificant little detail? It sounds pretentious as fuck.
Like you ask what kind of music does ______ play?
Then the annoying hipster fuck replies: "Oh, theyre like a mixture of nerd-core and post-beard punk, with just a hint of avant-grunge-gaze."

Savage Clone · 10.17.2006, 04:07 PM

Cowpunk refers to bands like Uncle Tupelo, aka The Trend That Minneapolis Will Never Allow To Just Fucking Die Already.

Cantankerous · 10.17.2006, 04:08 PM

crust punk

GeneticKiss · 10.17.2006, 04:08 PM

That's becuz that's all they've got, since the Replacements and Husker Du are history.
