All of the genres I list include every subgenre that falls under that term as a parent genre. And for the most part, I'm going by rym for genre hierarchies, simply because in recent years I often use rym as the core source for searching for stuff that I don't already have. So most, though not all, of the names I use on my list are what they are because of the way that rym names genres.
I don't care about RYM. It's like they make **** up and then you see terms pop up different place and think oh it must be legit, like oh it's on Wiki but that the page on Wikipedia is only a paragraph long, as of now. So you know it's something new and people are spreading bull**** to that site where it was never there before. It's just recent made up crap. According to another member here Bep Bop guitar players are not considered Be Bop musician on RYM. So I think that site is total bull****. **** that site as a reference and **** all it's bull****! Pretty soon that bull**** from RYM is going to spread and then every other band will be Boogie Rock. Maybe next week it will Led Zeppelin because of Boogie with Stu -- where does it end? Give it a month it will be Jerry Lee Lewis be known as "early" Boogie Rock. Maybe by next year Jimmy Yancey will be known as Proto-Boogie Rock. Seriously where does it end?

RYM?
No thanks.

Edit: forgive me for venting, but the more I hear about that site the more it gets on my nerves.
