Added The Duprees - You Belong to Me to Doo-wop.



Fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. For doo-wop, it's hauntingly beautiful. Maybe it's just increased with the passage of time, but there's something subtly eerie about this tune.

Charles Mingus-Solo Dancer-Avant-Garde Jazz

OK, I agree with Lightning Bolt as THE Noise Rock

@Conan I guess you didn't see it, but I'll repeat my question from one of my previous posts: How the hell did Guided by Voices end up among sub genres of Avant-Garde?

i just added them as Lo-Fi, I wasn't aware of the Avant-Garde part.

two more

Bubblegum Pop
Please Don't Talk To The Lifeguard - Diane Ray

i love this song....so playful and fun...and at the same time she's talking about drowning herself to get the attention of a boy

Crust Punk
Nausea - Smash Racism

so crust they haven't showered since the early 90s

i love that Duprees song....beautiful :)

GUYS. Where the hell is Twee?

Wikipedia lists Lo-Fi under their Avant-Garde category. In the context of Popular Music, this makes sense because Lo-Fi recordings are an asthetic. Under the Wikipedia's definition, Avant-Garde "may be used to refer to any other post-1945 tendency of modernist music not definable as experimental music".

Avant Garde will feature far more prominently in the Art Music portion of TUC, but as far as "popular genres" go, there aren't many that fall under this category. Confusing as hell, I know. I'm just going by what Wikipedia says because if I honestly tried to examine every genre in here for accuracy I might be on the computer for the rest of my life.

If you feel the current selection doesn't represent it's genre, however, feel free to suggest another.

I can add it. I just figured Indie pop had that covered.

like beat happening?

Country pop
Down From Dover - Dolly Parton

All are added bob :)

yep
Belle And Sebastian-Expectations-Twee Pop
I wanted to pick Hollow Inside by The Cat's Miaow, but I have to go with my ultimate nostalgia song.
