Yeah I saw the breakbeats, but I was thinking more along the lines of whether an artist usually uses samples, because that category was limited to electronic music. I mean you have DJ Shadow who made an album with samples, plus they are integral to a lot of types of hip-hop music and I wasn't sure if that should be left out.

And another one I think we should really have (I picked weird bands probably but I thought I'd use the two of them because their music is so similar the vocals are one of the biggest differences):

Trait: Female Vocals

Description: Describes whether or not the band has a female singer.

Possesses Trait (1): Kimya Dawson
Does not possess trait (0): Jeffrey Lewis
