While some
people believe music should not categorised there
is an obvious use for doing so. Whether in media reviews,
adverts or just between friends, how else can you
describe a particluar song or artist's work to others
without actually listening to it? "Nts, nts,
nts, tic tic booom... Ohhh yeah I know that one!"?
Surely not.
With modern
music borrowing themes and samples from across the
spectrum of musical possibility, it is becoming more
and more difficult to catagorise an artist or a particular
track. The information below gives clues about alot
of genres, but don't forget to keep sub and sub-sub
genres in mind. So, use this page as a guide, not
a bible, to what the next DJ/album you hear will sound
like. Someday you too will recognise what 'experimental-nu-skool-psychadelafunk'
sounds like!
