Genre Fusion Idea

I need a name for a new idea I just came up with. It's a mix of post-hardcore and heavy metal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.129.102.251 (talk) 02:54, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Already exsists as metalcore. ThundermasterTRUC 09:56, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Color scheme

I have recently added color scheme guidelines to diversify different genres or music.

Please add more genres if possible

Andros 1337 14:45, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Novelty music

I would like to suggest that a category be added to the N series for novelty music. Some samples of this genre include "Monster Mash" by the late Bobby "Boris" Pickett, "Purple People Eater" by the late Sheb Wooley and "Shaving Cream" by the late Benny Bell. This could be linked from the page on Dr. Demento, who plays much of this kind of music on his weekly syndicated radio program.--CajunGypsy 17:42, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Music Collaboration of the Week

I would like to announce the introduction of the Music Collaboration of the Week, which aims to coordinate our efforts in improving a music-related article every week. Please come help us decide on the first article to be chosen! Tuf-Kat 04:40, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)

Improvement drive

Two related topics, Percussion instrument and Rhythm and blues have been nominated to be improved on WP:IDRIVE. Come and support the nomination there or comment on it.--Fenice 07:30, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Fusion genres

Metalcore has been done using crimson (rock). This is being used on the subgenre articles with the template:heavymetal template:hardcorepunkbox boxes on the main metalcore article. My feeling is some mid-colour would work well but rock and heavy metal colours are quite close - could rock be made say scarlet, thenn fusion could be crimson. Any ideas of best practice? Using two boxes seems apt in this instance but not ideal. Other multiple genre situation arises with Christian rock, etc. Paul foord 15:53, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

For subgenres, they normally should follow the same color as the main genres. Originally, heavy metal also used crimson as a color. However, Tuf-Kat decided to assign heavy metal its own color. She assigned it cyan. However, SnOwFlake thought that cyan doesn't reflect the genre's feeling well, so he and I agreed on the current color. Andros 1337 18:38, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

Lone genres

There are loads of genres that aren't tied into this project. Grime is an obvious example. I'm tempted to go and tag every music genre article I find with the genre tag. We have 157 varieties of dance music at least ;) Secretlondon 20:59, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

i've just gone through every music genre i've got on my watch list, but there are many more that could be included in the project. if anyone has some spare time they could go through all the lists of music genres and add {{tl:genre}} to related article discussion pages to spread the word. --MilkMiruku 03:15, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

genreboxes

i was just wondering, does anyone know if there's any convention or precedent for putting infobox template code & details in a seperate template (like with template:heavymetal or template:hardcorepunkbox) in other sections of wikipedia? is this practice the best way of going about things? --MilkMiruku 03:26, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

No, there is no precednt. It was mainy used for the larger templates. Andros 1337 02:45, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Blues

I have tried to improve the article blues recently. Now I think it is more or less comprehensive. However, I believe it is still far from brilliant prose. It may also a bit lengthy. Could someone from this project have a look at it? Thank you. Vb 12:06, 21 November 2005 (UTC)


I am trying to get a seperate Wikiproject going just for the Blues. Trying, trying, trying. It deserves one. --Bentonia School 15:14, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Electronic music WikiProject

There's a new WikiProject started for improving the Electronic music categories. If you're interested in helping, then take a look at WikiProject Electronic music. Hagbard Celine 18:27, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

indie pop

I've created a (stub) article for indie pop. Definitely within the scope of this project. Just a bit of a heads up to anyone interested in helping out there. Arturus 11:06, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Articles for the Wikipedia 1.0 project

Hi, I'm a member of the Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing using these criteria, and we are looking for A-Class and good B-Class articles, with no POV or copyright problems. For example would Rhythm and blues rank as A-Class, in your opinion? Can you suggest some other A or decent B-class articles we might use? Please post your suggestions here. Cheers, Walkerma 05:06, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Blues genre colour has legibility problems

Brazilian Rock: another genre?

i'm lost. i guess this is the best place to put it, so... straight to the issue: shouldn't brazilian rock be a genre? i'm editing some artists and have already stated it as a genre... if it's not to be considered a genre, i will just correct them... though i'd like to know why. capi 23:40, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Unofficial genre colors

Color used at normally for
Lightblue Post-punk Pop music
Red Deathrock not in use
Green {{Christian music}} not in use
Blue Vallenato Blues
Post-punk and Deathrock should both be crimson. CCM can get its own color. A different color will need to be used for Vallenato. Andros 1337 18:57, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Are the genrebox templates really necessary?

If I understand correcty, these templates were at somepoint usedon several pages, but that is not the case anymore (with a few disputable exceptions). Why exactly are these single-page version of {{Infobox Music genre}} kept separate? Circeus 23:59, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

i think that was just the way it started out. now that the infobox template is being used on more subgenre pages it would probably be a good idea to use it on the ones above that use the specific templates. --MilkMiruku 01:37, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

They're really useful for navigating between main genre headings and subgenres, as well as subjects such as the history, list of bands, fashion, and so forth associated with each one. WesleyDodds 04:06, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

That's completely missing the point. My question is "why do we keep these when {{Infobox Music genre}} can do the job perfectly well?". Circeus 04:14, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
I didn't miss your point. They're on separate pages so they can be used repeatedly on different articles. You yourself stated that. I was simply stating that it can be argued that the approach still has some use. WesleyDodds 04:52, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

External links/internet radio

as i'm sure many of you will have noticed, many music genre articles' external links sections are getting bloated with links to external sites. wikipedia already has some guidelines regarding external links (see Wikipedia:External links, WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files, Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming and Wikipedia:Spam Event Horizon) but i feel we really need to create a common policy for music genre articles, i.e., what notability or relevancy creteria should an external link meet for it to be worthy of inclusion on a genre article? i see no problem to articles about the history or musicology of genres, and obviously links to regarding specific artists should be on that respective artists own page, but what about stuff like internet radio stations and links to sites that host dj mixes? re the former, i'm of the opinion that a link to a relevant search on shoutcast is probably a good idea to include (if said search gives a fair few results), but what about individual stations? a good example of bloat would be the links on the trance article. thoughts? --MilkMiruku 14:54, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Category trees

I've noticed that if you try to navigate the categories (browse, I guess) from the main page, it is impossible to arrive at the European "classical" music genres (eg Baroque music, Medieval music, Renaissance music, Classical music era). This seems like a big problem to me. Is there a way this can be fixed? Can someone direct me to any instructions on how to work with the category trees? Thanks, Makemi 21:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

art -> Art history -> Music history -> everything. I don't see the problem. Circeus 14:24, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
also; main page > art (portal) > music (portal) > music genres (category)
plus; main page > categories > music (category) > music genres (category) --MilkMiruku 15:01, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Er, under the music genres did you find Baroque music, as opposed to Baroque metal? I found the broad sub-category "Classical music" assuming that at least this would then lead to the other genres within European classical music. But instead you have to go to "Musical eras", which you might think would be right, but no once again you have to go to "Early music", and then you finally arrive at the genres of which I speak (took me a while to figure it out). I too would think that they would be directly under the category "music genres", but you have to go pretty roundabout to get there. I think Baroque music is a bit more important, and should perhaps be easier to find than "Acid Brass".
I guess my big problem is that if I want to find an important musical genre, and I'm not thinking of it as "History" or "Art" rather than music (I would never ever think to look under art history for Baroque music), it's ridiculously hard to find by browsing. And I'd like to be able to be bold and fix it, but I'm not sure how. So, to sum up:

main page > categories > music (cat) > music genres (cat) > Classical music (cat) > Musical eras (cat) > Early music (cat) > Baroque music (cat) Makemi 00:40, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I looked at the categories you mentioned, and I think the problem is this: is baroque really a "genre" in the same way, say, prog rock is? I think of baroque as a period and a style, but not as a genre in the modern sense. In fact, I think that if I saw "baroque" in the genre category, I would assume it was some sort of neo-baroque thing. Would it be too nitpicky to have the very first category split be "contemporary genres" vs "classical genres"? You would then browse like this: music > classical eras/styles/genres (pick a word) > baroque, early music, classical....etc. I'm not a music theorist, so research or an expert can fine-tune the categories, but I think that might be a good solution. Then it's just a matter of re-categorizing some things, and that's simple. Cantara 04:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
In order to answer your question I read a rather long article in the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, which in a rather technical way states that basically, Baroque music is even more firmly a genre than prog-rock is, due to the interaction between composer, performer, and audience, and other works within the "genre". Genre could more specifically refer to a specific type of piece, such as "Chamber sonata" or "Guitar solo", but I see a much closer parallel between prog rock and baroque music, than between prog rock and chamber sonata, but that could be argued.
I would not have a huge problem with putting the various "early music" genres under "Classical music genres", but "classical" music can refer to the art musics of a huge number of countries, so it would need to include those cats as well. Makemi 04:34, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Artist/band notability

Here's some resources for checking out the notability of an artist or band;

  • Discogs - User contributed db, covers many genres, generally impartial but information can be pov on occasion, good for electronic music and details of connections between artists/bands/producers.
  • All Music Guide - 'Expert' written content (900~ editors), covers many genres, used in some point-of-sale systems in record shops/websites, gui a bit stuffy.
  • Last.fm - User contributed listning stats, covers many genres, good for notability although very occasional conflicts when artists/bands have the same name.
  • freedb - User contributed CDDB db, only for track listings, generally used by software for playing/ripping cds but has a search on their site
  • MusicBrainz - An 'open content music encyclopedia', used by some more advanced playing/ripping software, allows searches on website.
  • The DJ List - Listings site for electronic dance music DJs, basic info but still handy on occasion.

Anyone got anything else they use? --MilkMiruku 17:38, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Project cleanup

i've created a header and have moved some text from the main page to make things easier to access, hopfully it should help to get the different tasks of this project sorted out so we can get some work done --MilkMiruku 01:30, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

and yeah, check this. we haven't got one article up there yet. can anyone suggest a music genre page that has a fair bit of info (including musicology annd history), references, maybe an image or two and that hasn't had any controversial edits on it recently - something that we can work on to fix any mistakes then use as an example page to set standards by? --MilkMiruku 01:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Hard rock needs urgent improving

Hi, guys, I'm here to tell you about the situation of the article Hard rock. It's an abandoned article, but I think it's VERY VERY important! I'll try to improve it as I can, but I'm not really a super-expert. The history of hard rock is told a little bit on the article Heavy metal music but I think it should be included in article hard rock.

Thank you,

--Hard Rock Thunder 12:21, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I've started my work on the article hard rock. What do you think about how I planned it? I still have to finish the history section.

Thank you,

--Hard Rock Thunder 16:30, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Example article?

so, any suggestions then? i've had a quick look around; punk rock, soul music and funk are rather good. pages we'd be looking for should have a genrebox, a good first paragraph, characteristics/musicology, a good history, sound samples, references, images, and the appropriate footer. --MilkMiruku 23:34, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Unsigned band advertising??

Hey think im on the wrong board here but i discovered a band called Marty Makes Five from Scotland. they dont look signed to me and personally i think this is advertising, maybe this artical should be up for deleting

Dance music

I'd like to bring up something which I think needs considerable clarification: the connection between dance music and electronic music. (There's also the Electronic Dance article, but people are proposing merging it into electronic music altogether.)

What we have currently are Category:Dance music and Category:Electronic music, and some of the contents of the former almost certainly fits into the latter — house, techno, trance and the like are often bunched into the label of "dance music", but that isn't really a category that's been integrated under the genre system here. (See dance music and dance-pop, for example, which don't have genreboxes.) "Dance" is too broad a term because it encompasses some of electronic music and some of pop music. However, a lot of articles (such as those using Template:Album infobox, some instance of which I was responsible for) link to the dance music article when discussing electronic dance music, even though half of that article does not apply to electronic dance music.

What I'm proposing, basically, is a clear division between traditional dance music and electronic dance music, since they don't really connect to each other. Expand the article more on both sides, or split it altogether. Integrate items in Category:Dance music into Category:Electronic music. Meanwhile, I think the Electronic Dance article could be expanded so that it can be the primary article linked to in the context of electronic dance music.

Apologies if I'm not being too specific here. I'm not any kind of expert on the subjects in question, but I know enough to see that there is a clear distinction that needs to be addressed. –Unint 04:31, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

something i'd really like to see an electronic dance music article, something that electronic music could {{main}} instead of linking to history sections on two or three seperate articles in some of the later history sections, some of the text of which could be moved to electronic dance music. --MilkMiruku 16:01, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Suggestions and to do

The project page contains neither suggestions nor a to do list, and I find no to do list on this talk page. Hyacinth 11:35, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

there's a link to the To Do list above in the navigation box. i've tried to fill it out with a few objectives but anyone's welcome to add any other ideas :) --MilkMiruku 14:58, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Alternative music Wikiproject

Hey, I'm developing a Wikiproject for Alternative rock and its subgenres. If you are interested in participating, I have listed the proposal at Wikipedia:Wikiproject/List_of_proposed_projects#Alternative_music. I have also created a temp page located at User:WesleyDodds/Alternative music. WesleyDodds 08:08, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

coolies. you might wanna check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Indie music and post there if just to let people know there is a newer effort being started. also, is that the best name for the project, given that 'alternative music' is used as an umbrella term to describe a many more genres than the proposal describes (i.e. alternative electronic, also metal/punk/etc)? --MilkMiruku 11:11, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
The Indie music project has been inactive for over a year, although if you feel I should set up a notice anyway let me know. I felt a more all-encompassing project is needed given the nature of alternative/indie rock. I can see the possible issues with calling it "Wikiproject Alternative Music" but I think with a proper description it will be a non-issue. WesleyDodds 11:34, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Also, there's already a Metal Wikiproject and in the slight hope someone might someday create a Punk Wikiproject to address that genre separately, this project focuses on the usage of "alternative" in the traditional genre sense; that is, the alternative/underground/indie music movement that emerged from the punk movement in the 1980s and continues to this day. WesleyDodds 11:40, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Changes to Template:Genre

Hello. I've made one change to {{Genre}} to help 1.0's Work via WikiProjects team and you assess articles better. A member of your WikiProject contacted us on WVWP's talk page, and from that discussion, I've added a class parameter to your WikiProject template, which adds pages to quality-based categories, according to the assessment scale for 1.0. In order to use this optional feature, an article's talk page would be changed like this:

{{genre}} → {{genre|class=A}} Example: Talk:Ambient music

This is being done on a trial basis among just a few WikiProjects, to see if this system can scale; also, to try to make it as easy as possible for editors. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to ask me at my talk page or at WVWP's talk page. Titoxd(?!? - help us) 22:34, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Making OGG samples?

I've read that one of the attributes of a good article is the inclusion of samples from representative songs or compositions in a genre. This makes sense. However, the medium of choice for Wikipedia is an odd little "mystery medium" called OGG. I don't have the slightest idea on how to convert MP3 to OGG and how to edit the files once converted. Any pointers to tips on how to do this on a Macintosh would be greatly appreciated. Peter G Werner 08:08, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I've put up a small ammount of info on the guidelines page about samples, but your best bet is proably checking here where there's a few links to relevant software. 'fraid i'm not a mac person myself so i can't give any more specific advice. --MilkMiruku 12:27, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the links - I found a program called Audacity that I can use on Mac OS X. Unfortunately, the program is far from intuitive, so I haven't figured out how to include such things as fade-ins and fade-outs for a 30-second sample (the pre-programmed fade-in and fade out commands take a full 30 seconds). I've created one sound sample for the Ambient industrial article, and I'll create more as I get the hang of Audacity.
One more question - what's the recommended file size for a 30-second sample? I set my defaults for 48Mhz and a high-quality sample rate, but this creates 30-second files that are about 1.6 Mb, and I get the feeling that's a bit large. Peter G Werner 18:27, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Country Music

I'm trying to round up some volunteers for WikiProject Country Music. Please see the temporary project page for more information. If enough people are willing to help, I suppose it should be listed as a "descendant" of WikiProject Music genres. --TantalumTelluride 23:58, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Grunge music

I notice that Grunge music is an FA, yet it doesn't appear in your 1.0 assessment table at all. I'm not part of this project, but shouldn't this get included? Walkerma 03:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguating music genres and subgenres

Hello, Im recently contributing to some articles relevant to electronic, ambient and "new age" genres of music and related artists. I am noticing that many misunderstandings among editors are arising, becouse of a lack of a correct method of cathegorizing. Maybe to some it will seem as 'experimental', or perhaps some musicologists already give it for granted: I suggest to use a method (and some templates) in order to classify artists, music (or any artistic) work, tracks, albums, according to this simple scheme----->

Context, Content, Style, Techniques

Finally, a sort of common agreement should be reached in this matter: anyone can use any adjective to describe music, and some adjectives can also become commonly used, but that doesnt mean that we have a new genre of music only becouse a given adjective describes the mood of a group of artists or works. Brian Wilson 13:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

The problem runs deeper: There are styles, eras, and genres to be dealt with, and peolpe here don't even attempt to keep these kategories apart. This project really is about local snapshots of "scenes", combinations of styles and genres in a given era, as someone wrote below. klaus --84.160.129.111 13:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Music scenes and music genres: a possible path

Hello, has anyone read the page Music Scene? In my opinion, many articles regarding "music genres" are actually dealing with some related music scenes that are mistakenly seen as music style(s).

Goal: create a new category:

RFC: Shiny Shoe Music

The article Shiny Shoe Music has accurate information but a neologistic title. Discussion on Articles for deletion and on the article's talk page have determined that the article must be moved; that discussion also shows that no one knows where to move it to.

Thanks so much.—msh210℠ 15:40, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Project Directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:

and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 21:30, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if you tried to update it before, and the corrections were gone. I have now put the new draft in the old directory pages, so the links should work better. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused you. B2T2 00:20, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 17:54, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

A Blues Wikiproject

I think the Blues is well-deserving of its own Wikiproject. It's odd that it doesn't have one. I want to start the Wikiproject with other similar-minded Wikipedians so we can clean up the current Blues article and add more articles about relevent Bluesmen. It has to be remembered that many Bluesmen may seem irrelevent to Wikipedia's standards due to the "standards" of the time in which they lived/recorded. That is, many of them were simply used as ways for record companies to make extra cash from race records in the African American market. Many of them didn't live into the Folk Revival of the 1960s, during which some of them were "rediscovered". The Blues as a genre requires serious attention by Wikipedia, and a Wikiproject is the best way of doing that. Any takers? I could use some help - especially since I'm a newbee to the Wikipedia editorial universe. --Bentonia School 15:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Rhythm and blues

This article and its subgenres, spin-offs, etc. need extensive revisions and reworking. I know I'm working against the "systemic bias" here, but this is important: rhythm and blues needs to be revised to read like rock music (but with references), new articles on traditional rhythm and blues and contemporary R&B need to be drawn up, and soul music and funk need revisions. --FuriousFreddy 07:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Soul Rock?
