Punkwave, sick.
Do you come up with the genre tags yourself?
I’ve never understood more specific genre tags well, but I always read the ones you write and they always seem so accurate, so I’m finally learning.
Thanks
The method I use for genre tags is:
- Rate Your Music - is by far my most favorite and preferred genre list
- Everynoise - although discontinued, it still has everything I need for Spotify’s genre categorization by typing in an artist
- Last.fm - I don’t really prefer this anymore, but if I don’t have a choice, this isn’t bad.
- Finally, If I can’t find it on any of these, I use my intuition and go looking through the Rate Your Music genres and try to find the most accurate.
Even with everynoise and last.fm, I still match whatever they spit out to rate your music equivalents to make it easier for anyone searching the community. That way everything is consistent and search will bring up every result.
Wow, rateyourmusic is a great tool, thanks, I’ll definitely use it for further identifications
I also recommend checking out the lists on Rate Your Music for discovery!
Great idea, will do
