Talk:List of popular music genres

message: Can't find this genre in the list. It's not that it hasn't had a significant commercial impact out of France (I believe some songs from e.g. Edith Piaf or Jacques Brel are well known abroad), and it is neither a national version of an international genre.

message: I must edit one mistake of list in Caribbean pop music section, because after Rasin, there was a list under main list countains Reggae, as a subgenre of Rasin mizik genre and Dancehall too. Dancehall, Dub or Reggaetón are subgenres, or derivative forms of Reggae. Due to this, I've edited this article to looks correct.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cassa342 (talk • contribs) 18:42, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

message: I do not understand why Classical music is absent. Classical music is very popular. But even if we think Classical music is not popular, then why do we not change the title of this article to "List of music genres" and include Classical music that way? What other music genres are absent from this list because they are not considered popular?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.208.111.211 (talk) 17:33, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: And the beginning of the article says "Indian classical music" is not included, but it IS included. This article is just dumb in the way it arbitrarily includes and excludes genres. GaryGo (talk) 01:07, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

message: Sorry, but I cannot take this list seriously. A list of musical genres without TANGO is unacceptable. Maybe tango is not marketed in the USA, but it continues to sell in countless countries around the world, and has been used in several American movies. The article should be called "List of Commercial Music in the USA". That's just what it is.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.47.58.46 (talk) 16:52, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

message: I ran a simple check with JavaScript to see what links were used more than once and found 111 used twice and 10 used thrice. A quick look reveals that e.g. Acid Jazz is featured appropriately in both the Jazz and Electronic sections. With the exception of any errors a more careful check might reveal, does anyone object to something like a parenthesized note being added to each repeated case explaining that it can also be found in another section, with a link e.g. In the Jazz section, the entry for Acid Jazz would read "Acid Jazz (also in Electronic)"?

thread_title:  Genres featured in multiple sections 

message: According to an article published on japantimes.co.jp, Anison is regarded as a genre; "Anime songs, or anison, used to exist mainly to serve an obsessed otaku fanbase, but the genre has gained in popularity over the past few years". It was recently removed from the list, with no edit summary or apparent discussion, but I see that AllMusic don't seem to recognise it as a genre (yet). Is it the will of the community that we should base this list entirely on that of AllMusic, following the statement "Applicable styles are classified in this list using AllMusic genre categorization" in the lede?

thread_title:  Should Anison be listed? 

message: I have done most of the work needed to realise a formatting and standardisation template for short genre descriptions and would like other interested editor's feedback regarding its possible use before creating a proper template (it's currently in my sandbox).
* invokes Module:User:Fred Gandt/sgd which in-turn seeks available descriptions from User:Fred Gandt/sandbox/Sgd/list – an easily editable description list
*Some examples of it's use and output can be seen at User:Fred Gandt/sandbox#Short genre description
Questions I'd like to hear other's answers to are:
*In this article/list, would a template like this be considered a useful?
*Should the description be in a small font?
*Should the description have a length limit?
*Should the description be parenthesised?
Feel free to provide any other feedback that comes to mind. I am cross-posting this request for feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music/Music genres task force. Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 14:58, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Template in development - request for feedback 

message: With this edit, I removed the redundant  "Genres" section, moved its child  sections up to , and created a few  children for longer sub-lists of sub-genres and their children.
The result of this is, in my opinion, a cleaner page organisation for reader comfort and ease of navigation.
My edit was undone, with the edit summary  
Why  the list's sections be restricted to "genres" and not, where it aids presentation, be sub-sectioned? Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 14:24, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
