Ah, I saw your post about free folk. For me New Weird America, freak folk, free folk and neopsychedelia are all part of the same creative movement from the middle/end of the 90s onward. I use freak folk and free folk often together (and interchangeably). While neopsychedelia is more spacey and cosmic, freak/free folk has that 'ancient' tribal quality. So if you want to emphasize a more experimental, improvisational side then Vibracathedral absolutely counts, if you want a more 'pop' side, than Animal Collective, Devendra Banhart etc will do. Also New Weird America sort of lost its meaning since there are so many artists in this genre from all over the world, especially Scandinavians.

I may have to reread that a couple of time to understand what you just typed. I wasn't jonesing for either a Folk Punk or Freak Folk big four. Just from my perspective I saw more people mention Folk Punk. Maybe you should had done Folk Punk as "Rogue Folk" this way you could avoid any redundancies in genre/sub-genre titles. If you do Black Metal next isn't that doing the same thing you said you were trying to avoid? You just got done doing Nu Metal last week.

So I guess we have to wait awhile before a big four of Freak Beat bands? (of course if it was put to a vote) But I don't think it should really matter cause Freak Beat music ain't really the same as Freak Folk, that's if you go by what a sub-genre sounds like, not by the sub-genre titles.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

I meant in terms of engulfing folk punk. Not strictly that genre but a lot of the bands cross over.

I considered not doing black metal, but hardly anyone was voting for the last two rounds, and nu metal and black metal are worlds apart in terms of popularity and generally accepted quality. We need a more popular genre to acquire votes. Plus, people have been preparing for the black metal round. That's why I have the next genre planned out a week in advance.

Although, if we do black metal, we won't be doing another metal genre for about a month and a half at minimum. There's still plenty in the realms of rock, pop, jazz, ambient, electronic, r&b, world music, etc. that we haven't touched upon.

How so? We have many different "major" genres to tackle. I think two metal genres in 4 weeks and doing another one really soon after that would just turn this into another "metal album survivor."

We have rock, pop, alternative, indie, folk, soul, funk, ambient, electronic, hip hop, jazz, classical, regional, country, and many more. I think tackling too much metal too quickly will get tiring and will get metal done far too quickly.
