most subgenre names suck; chief among them "melodic death metal"

one of my favorites is grindcore though, it's perfect.

The Replacements' music has aged terribly.

cowpunk is sort of like the plugz and tex and the horseheads and the screaming sirens. uncle tupelo was "alt. country"; remember, it was the 90's and everything with "alt." on the name sold.

hehe...PSYCHOBILLY

gothabilly

Horror Rock

I like Psychobilly as a name. It fits that kind of band quite well, especially as those kinds of bands usually have no problem with pigeonholing under that umbrella term and are not too hung up on "originality."

Hey hey, less dissing of the happy hardcore thanks. What do you want from a genre name? Should it not describe the music perfectly?

I think glitchcore, lo-fi and the oft forgotten no-fi were pretty awful names. There was a period when journos would break their asses trying to find another word to put -fi after.

Crunk is a stupid name. Grime is a great one. Funny how these things work out.

Psychobilly makes perfect sense to me also.

Glitchcore is a terrible name indeed.

Perhaps it is my laothing of Happy Hardcore that does it in for me. It seems like the two words should be mutually exclusive. It's unnatural.

oh, excuse me... how could i have forgotten?

riot grrrl

grime is a far better name than most people associated with it.

i like 'glitch' as a description of the music (glitchcore is too much though)

quoted for posterity.

You don't like Happy Hardcore? I don't believe someone with a record collection as absurdly presented as yours does not have at least one slightly worn out semi-bootleg Happy Hardcore tape somewhere. What's not to like? It's silly, it makes you bounce.

Kids these days, I don't know...

Riot Grrrl isn't a mere music genre, maan. It's a fucking MOVEMENT!



ahem.

My interest in all things techno 12" in nature waned severely by 1994.

it's a bunch of cunts with the money for instruments is what it is.

Happy Hardcore was the second-last great tape-governed genre. Bhangra was the last, and that seems to have made the transition onto CD now.
