Music classification scale
lbarbs:
I have developed a scale that can be used to describe most guitar based music:
It has four components.
Style: (0-20), where 0 is folk/country, 5 is folk-rock, 10 is rock and 20 is heavy-satanic-fantasy-death-metal
Mood: (0-10), where 0 is kill-me-now-depressive, 2 is Coldplay, and 10 is lets-jump-up-and-down-like-idiots-on-speed
Originality: (0-10), where 0 is yet-more-coldplay/arctic monkeys, and 10 is Eberg.
Popularity: (0-10), where 0 is the band at your local, and 10 is the beatles.
Discuss.
Garcin:
I think that giving music numerical scores is silly. Listen. Enjoy. Guitar can be very technical but boring. It can be very sloppy but interesting and innovative. Or it can just be new and wierd. What's the point in counting?
Thrillho:
I think you just wasted a whole load of your time.
And why the fuck is folk/country/folk-rock naturally = shit? What the fuck is that?
GamerMunkie:
Yeah, and why does depressing music have to rate low.
Gymnopodie #1 is one of the best guitar pieces I have ever heard, and yet on your scale it rates pretty damn low...
KharBevNor:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's meant to mean that things with low scores are bad, it's just creating extremes. Also, I don't think you're meant to add scores together.
Like Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath would be something like:
Style: 18
Mood: 2
Originality: 7
Popularity: 7
Whilst Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over the Sea might be:
Style: 3
Mood: 6
Originality: 5
Popularity: 3
However, both are good.
Right?
