I guess if you're going by subjective lists they'll look vastly different. I'll do an objective list taking into account history.

5. Pop/top 40
6. Electronic
7. Country
8. Reggae
9. Hip hop

This list takes into consideration musicianship above all else. After that is its historical impact. Hip hop is a fairly new genre and honestly, not the most technically proficient when compared to other genres.

I will say that in hip hop's defense, the lyrical aspects at times can be superior than what any other genre has to offer. There's some lyrics that'll destroy your fav rock or pop song's.

why is electronic music higher than hip hop? that shit is more broad and technically more adventurous and complex, plain and simple. The shit they do is>>> hip hop. And if we look at its history which includes 'disco', then yeah... even >>>> reggae and hiphop. Don't laugh at disco, that shit had some crazy instrumentation and arrangements. They had some great musicians create music, specially when you consider some of the musicians were soul/funk artists and even classical musicians. They incorporated rock, jazz, classical, funk, soul, electronic all at once in some cases, often a few genres mashed together.

Exactly, top tier sub genres are so different, diverse and specific they deserve their own mention. You cant rate such a multitude of genres under one umbrella. For instance i dont like house, i somewhat like trance, somewhat like DnB and so on. How am i supposed to compare "Electronic" vs blues, rap, pop, etc, when electronic refers to tens of genres. Electronic is too simple generalization that neglects the variance of very distinctive genres. Even most contemporary music could be categorized as electronic (pop, rap, etc)

We can do the same with rock.

There's tons of sub-genres as well. And while hip hop and Pop do have 'electronica' elements their core is still pop/hip hop with electronica elements. No different than a traditionally electronica artist teaming up with a rapper. Are we gonna then label it rap because Mos Def was in the track?

I think there's enough of a difference between electronica and its sub-genres and hip hop/Pop that they can be considered different genres.

Either way regardless of what you or I may feel that's how it's been classified historically.

Unfortunately, you're a bit ignorant. I don't think you quite understand the magnitude of the metal landscape these days. People who don't listen to metal (granted, it's an acquired taste) assume that metal is simply just Iron Maiden/Judas Priest styled traditional heavy metal, glam, and "death metal," which they use to describe practically anything with harsh vocals. This could not be farther from the truth though. I'd be interested to see if you can come up with a single subgenre of a major musical genre that is as vast as metal, let alone larger. Why? Because you can't.

Your wrong here. All those genres listed can be expanded. I added punk/hardcore to mine but I could just as easily split that into a bunch of different genres as well. Even hardcore on it's own can then be split into a bunch of different genres with d-beat, thrash, 80's style, NY hardcore, screamcore, grindcore, noisecore etc. Country could be broken down to extremes as well, same goes for all those genres.

[FKAri]

Being a big music buff and having listened to all kinds of music I will say that "electronic music" or "electronica" if you want to use that as a genre label, is the most vast; encompassing the most diverse kinds of sounds.

No because rock is way more broad/experimental/diverse. Rock explores avenues that the r&b world doesn't even touch tbh.

And if you think rock is dead today, r&b has been deader for longer. R&b has essentially become hip hop lite. Musicianship that was prevalent in the r&b world in the past is lonnnnnnggggg gone.

Jazz. End discussion.

Although Jazz is pop music as well I do understand your point considering some similarities with Classical(mostly instrumental, difficulty etc..) that sets these 2 forms of Western Music apart.



I do agree that there are far too many labels for basically the same Pop music. In Jazz there is Traditional(Dixieland), Swing, Bebop, Cool Jazz, Hard Bop, Free Jazz,etc.... ,but its all "Jazz" at the end of the day. Louis Armstrong initially dismissed Bebop & artists like Dizzy Gillespie, Clifford Brown, Miles Davis,etc... but these young Bebop pioneers loved Armstrong & considered themselves an extension of him(which they were & he eventually came around).



Rock is just an extension of Blues/R&B & the British Rock bands(& there Rock progeny) obviously patterned their music after American Blues artist that The Stones , Beatles, Clapton, etc....adored. The only reason there was a British invasion was because of these young kids full acceptance of these older Blues musicians which most American Whites weren't exposed to or ignored through prejudice.




Listen to the Blues & R&B charts from 1954 & before.

You are correct, I meant you can play classical on guitar. I just don't believe in computers making music, it's a just a personal distinction, skills on a computer program are not the same as technical skill on an instrument.

Ah yeah I get you, orchestras today that play classical music use guitars as well.

I agree on the digital thing although it's become blurred considering how much electronic touch ups are done to music that doesn't need it these days. I prefer live music anyway and the energy it has, back in my band days I always preferred trying to capture how we sounded live rather than trying to overproduce something into a clean and polished sound.

Word. I agree with you about the blurred lines, all music is getting a bit of an electronic touch.

That's fine, you aren't required to like it. Not all harsh vocals sound like cookie monster though. It definitely wasn't something I appreciated originally, but I enjoy it now after easing into it. I'm very specific about which death metal bands I enjoy.

Thee difference with that is some folks use software, and with said software can get a sound from you putting your mouse on a sound.

Some use computers as basically 24 track recorder. So instead on analog you hook up a keyboard (and sometimes guitars) to create the sound.

So for example, if I want a piano, I can hook up my keyboard and play piano chords.

Folks using other types of software will use a created patch already in that software that might say "jazzy-rhodes" or "tech-chords" or "daft-chords" ect which is just a few chords played over and over.

Guitarists do perform in conjunction with them fairly often though, but they aren't a staple in the way a violin is by any means

Word I know, I had a roommate who fancied himself a DJ and it was awful. I suppose the distinction is pretty thin, but I say people who record via analog are fine, but those who use prerecorded are not. You're still matching up the same sounds and it's gonna sound just as good, but it's not as impressive to me. Just like a photo of a painting is not as impressive as the painting itself

[Relinquish]

Of course, but they are by no means a staple of orchestral music. Many instruments perform in conjunction with orchestras that aren't normally a part of them such as saxophone. It's usually for concertos.

There's no garageband for classical music. A computer is not a musical instrument.

writing music does not equal to playing an instrument... many composers wouldn't have a clue how to play the double bass properly or the french horns, doesn't stop them from writing music for that position...

people who make music on a computer aren't performers, there is a difference. Performances aren't necessarily the producer/songwriter either.

Also there are many deeper layers technical production involved that you would not know of so there's no need to discredit something that you don't even know.
