robertsona: ESSENTIAL GENRE: crossover thrash

robertsona 04.25.23	Hmm
JohnnyoftheWell 04.25.23	SHIBUYA KEI
robertsona 04.25.23	“Thrash can’t just keep crossing over like this!” angry CEO movie villain voice
ArsMoriendi 04.25.23	@Sowing: can you tell MX to stop adding metal subgenres ACTUAL voted for genres still missing: -slowcore -krautrock -trap -garage rock -vaporwave some I'd tag the fuck out of happily: -Baroque Pop -Chamber Pop -Boom bap (hip hop needs more right?) -Bebop (could placehold for hardbop too (don't tell Ghandhi he'll say no)) -Hypnagogic pop (maybe could placehold for chillwave???)
ArsMoriendi 04.25.23	Also, now that some metalheads weighed in on Discord+the addition of this list, I'm not helping to tag this genre, it's too micro, right?
DavidYowi 04.25.23	Yeah a bit
ffs 04.25.23	thrash metal and hardcore, famously the first genres ever to cross over
Willie 04.25.23	Yeah, it was a niche genre even when it was slightly relevant. Might as well throw D.R.I into the short list.
ArsMoriendi 04.25.23	^Dammit MX, even the mods think this tag is dumb
MoM 04.25.23	Aahhhh, the groove metal of thrash… crossover
Willie 04.25.23	Personally, I want to see a Symphonic Metal genre tag. I’m tired of the Death Metal (or just Metal) / classical / goth trifecta to describe the genre here.
ArsMoriendi 04.25.23	Too bad Mods can’t just add genres That’d make things so much easier
Willie 04.25.23	Nothing is easy for us anymore. I get it, it’s in the name of site security, but…
Demon of the Fall 04.25.23	Yeah, hang on we still don’t have Slowcore or Krautrock? (And others). What Ars said (2).
AsleepInTheBack 04.25.23	I mean, is it that surprising that a traditionally metal focused site is being gifted more metal tags than non metal tags? I’m just happy we’re getting more tags full stop as that seemed an impossibility for a while, and am hoping the remainder people are asking for will eventually be got to.
JohnnyoftheWell 04.25.23	yeah nah mx is trolling the Sputnik database and tagfield are both small enough that almost all tags are expedient, and crossover thrash is in a similar league of hyperspecificity to viking metal, to the point that it makes a joke out of the rest of the database which is not something i would ever have thought needed explaining but
SteakByrnes 04.25.23	I mean I'm glad he's doing something, but I hope he's also working on a way to get avatar functionality back
PotsyTater 04.25.23	The only way for thrash to crossover into not being a bad genre is to crossover into not thrash at all
ArsMoriendi 04.25.23	“ I mean, is it that surprising that a traditionally metal focused site is being gifted more metal tags than non metal tags” Yes when genres like folk metal and symphonic metal are being passed up for things like Viking metal and crossover thrash
AsleepInTheBack 04.25.23	Lol really are they not already tags? Damn. Pretty happy I can start troll tagging w/ Viking metal now tho
ArsMoriendi 04.25.23	Nope I had Sowing to delete Viking Metal Basically, I’m heading this whole genre thing not because I’m the most qualified but because I uh… care too much? Whoo
AsleepInTheBack 04.25.23	Is dungeon synth a tag yet? Edit actually checked rather than being a lazy boi and no it is not
ArsMoriendi 04.25.23	No.
Hyperion1001 04.25.23	where tf is the buttrock tag?
pizzamachine 04.25.23	Good question
Demon of the Fall 04.26.23	'The only way for thrash to crossover into not being a bad genre is to crossover into not thrash at all' nice dig, haha (I must admit, it must be amongst my least fave metal sub-genres by this point)
MoM 04.26.23	“ where tf is the buttrock tag?” [2] There is much work to be done. My fields require tilling and the buttrock requires tagging
wham49 04.26.23	Anthrax/I'm the Man anyone?
ArsMoriendi 04.26.23	Okay so would anyone be mad if I asked Sowing to get rid of this tag the same we got rid of instrumental rock, world, hair metal, and viking metal?
JohnnyoftheWell 04.26.23	destroy it produce shibuya kei ask sowing if mx was the same rymer who added yakousei to their lib
Demon of the Fall 04.26.23	I genuinely don’t understand the point of the genre tag, it might just be my ignorance but wouldn’t a combo of thrash and hardcore do the same job? In a lot of cases such artists wouldn’t need to condense the two tags into one. I realise there may be the odd outlier that needs to use three other tags ‘on top’, but I guess that would be exceedingly rare.
Demon of the Fall 04.26.23	Its existence is fine by me, as long as other potential (more useful) tags don’t get omitted in favour of it, I guess
