Well, bugger my chu-chu. It was absolutely tip-top and bristol fashion when I posted it. There will be other vids out there, mang, so don't sweat it. If you notice I tend to post the 'topic' videos because I think it all looks neat and organised on the subsaid. Maybe it's a temperate tipple of OCD I'm supping on.

It could be a Canadian problem on YouTube. I like genre labels and organization, but I don't understand your names for subs and such.

They're just wordplay gimmicks. I suppose as Saidit's music sub progenitor I'm giving it an edge that Reddit doesn't and that's having a weeny bit of mystique and edge rather than having just genre titles. It may be more of a pisser to find as a newcomer but it's all listed in the /s/music sidebar anyhows.

I understand that wordplay is fun for those in the loop but it's alienating and misleading to everyone else. "Braindance" could be about drugs or doctor videos or A.I. robot choreography. Electronic Dance Music is a boring title, but it's clear. Glitch-Hop as a genre may seem like a strange genre name to those who don't know about it, but they can look it up. Braindance, not so much. But the subs are yours to do with as you see fit, for better or worse or both simultaneously.

Sorry if I asked you before, but I don't recall any explanation: Where do you come up with these names?

A) genres understood in my local region
B) mirroring extant subs on Reddit
C) I make them up
D) none of the above
E) a combination of the above
F) other
G) iraffe

For what it's worth, I like most of the creativity in the names. I just don't like the lack of clarity.

I PM asked /u/christianmusicreleases to update that music sidebar list and recently asked them to provide a brief description of what the sub is about. No results yet, but I'm in no hurry. Here are some examples:

Some examples:

/s/3rdmusic - ???
/s/80s - From the 1980s.
/s/analog - recording mode
/s/BABYMETAL - genre
/s/blackmetal - genre
/s/BossmanTracks - ???
/s/Braindance - ???
/s/BrownMusic - ???
/s/BubbleBathTunes - ???
/s/ChristianMusic - genre
/s/ClassicalMusic - genre
/s/DodderingDitties - ???
/s/Doomer - ???
/s/doomers - ???
/s/DoomMetal - genre
/s/drums - instrument-based
/s/edm - Electronic Dance Music
/s/electronicmusic
/s/GratefulDead - band
/s/greekmusic - language/nation-based
/s/guitar - instrument-based
/s/Hardstyle - ???
/s/HippityHoppity - ???
/s/JustDuet - performance-based
/s/Klezmer - ???
/s/Korn - band
/s/KPOP - Korean pop music
/s/Lallygagarette - ???
/s/musica - Latin music
/s/musicbywomen - artist-based
/s/PeachyTang - ???
/s/Proggers - ???
/s/radiohead - band
/s/RockyAcid - ???
/s/Shamanica - ???
/s/Soundaemonic - ???
/s/sublime - ???
/s/vinyl - recording medium

Maybe you could help. I know it's a big ask and might require some effort, but IMO would be worth it and tremendously helpful. Don't rush on my account. Maybe the /s/music/wiki might be useful for stuff too (ie. I could help).

I make them up (with the exception of braindance - that was actually the original name for IDM when it was first founded.) and I write a lot of poetry in a belles lettres braindead polyschematic way. That wiki link doesn't work for me but I'll edit the sidebar right now if there's some way I can get my nut around it.
