Doesn't matter whether you actually like anything from said genre, what's the stupidest description for music you've heard?
I'm going with goregrind...seriously, that's ridiculous.
/no going for the easy win by saying "emo"
//hobocore for the bestest genre EVER
-
anything that adds the *core suffix to sound to sound badass. I actually heard something referred to as horrorcore once. That's just stupid
-
My best friend and I used to joke about starting an acoustic pirate grindcore band...does that count as stupid? Cuase I totally think that the awesomeness of pirates cancels out the stupidness of *core
-
emo violence
chaos core
deathcore
nintendocore
digigrind
...basically what I'm saying is, people with assymetrical fringes aren't allowed to make up genres anymore.
Best genre ever is intergalactic superstar midi metal/space opera/deathwave electro power metal.
Fact.
-
Nintendocore...haha...isn't HORSE the Band pretty much the only band that gets called by that title?
I was vaguely amused by that band when they first came out...now I'm really bored and annoyed with their existence...or existance....can never remember how to spell that word right

What about The Advantage?
-
hmmm...haven't heard of them...i just know that every stupid music magazine on the planet was obsessed with calling HORSE nintendocore...
-
I can think of maybe 5-6 nintendcore (or very similiar) bands. HORSE the band, 14 Year Old Girls, Enter Shikari, Sky Eats Airplane, The Advantage, Breakdance Kickboxer, and I hate this stuff.
-
The only thing i heard the Advantage being called, besides awesome, is a nintendo cover band.
Check out their site...just pure, raw, 16-bit deliciousness.
http://www.theadvantageband.com/
As for the -core thing, i assume there is a whole subculture around creating new genres: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_genres_suffixed_-core
Fagcore...just...damn.
-
i didn't listen to any of the music, but that webiste has to be one of the hilariously best things i have seen tonight...
-
Perhaps i should stop, but if you want to get an idea:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8Gt4tOUd-g
Admiteddly, that is a good theme to begin with.
-
Fagcore's just a word dumb people use to describe 'emo' bands (the proper term is 'faggotcore', dolts!)
Queercore, on the other hand, now that ain't a bad genre.
-
Nintendocore...haha...isn't HORSE the Band pretty much the only band that gets called by that title?
An Albatross has been referred to as nintendocore.
I have nothing to add about genre names.
-
freak folk
but i love freak folk
-
newb question here, but what in the everloving fuck is nintendocore? people singing about old school nintendo games? remixing 8bit soundtracks? fucked up shit man.
-
Well, as the term applies to HORSE the Band, it's basically a shitty grindcore type band that plays stupid songs with keyboard parts that sound like Nintendo songs only played really fucking fast...
they also had a song about Cutsman from one of the MegaMan games I guess
-
The Advantage, dude.
-
The Advantage are a very talented group of folks who are instrumentally a rock band, but strictly play covers of music from old NES games.
It is quite awesome, though I must admit the novelty wears off after a few listens.
-
I didn't read up! WE ARE TALKING IN CIRCLES.
-
I've heard people call bands like Limbonic Art and even Countess "nintendo music" as far as I can tell its because of the midi keyboards...
-
I've heard people call my living room floor "Nintendo music" because of the MIDI keyboard.
-
The answer is pretty much this (http://www.nothing-to-see-here.com/scotchegg.php)
It's Nintendo based, and it's breakcore. It's like I'm on topic twice with one link!
-
Psychadelic folk punk
Although I like folk-rock, folk is way overused in genre naming: anti-folk, avante-folk, folk-pop, folk metal.... I mean WTF is folk metal? (yes it exists)
-
You guys are obviously forgetting Outer Space-Alternative-Grind Techno Mathcore-FolkDance-New WaveHorror Rock.
-
Deathcountry. I seriously want to know what this sounds like.
-

Thing is, there actually IS a band that describe themselves as 'intergalactic superstar midi metal/space opera/deathwave electro power metal'.
-
Ambient cockcore.
-
Bluegrass
I mean, seriously, what?
Grass is blue now?
-
next phase
new wave
dance craze
anyways
it's still rock and roll to me.
the advantage look really good, but is that really nintendocore? does this kind of music really differ enough from everyhting that's come before to merit an entirely new genre?
this thread is something of an awakening for me, i had no idea the fad to stand out has become such that every band needs to come up with it's own genre.
cuddlecore?
gabber?
schranz?
the genre im all upons about at the moment is classical rock. like the canon on a guitar on youtube, and matallica playing the star wars soundtrack, or maybe some emo band playing in the hall of the mountain king on six double guitars.
this genre is most definitely not called classicore. i play classical violin, as well as rock violin, trad violin and metal violin, and there is no difference in "-core" ness between them, each is a intense as the other.
what genre's do these bands fit into in this crazy world?
the chalets
ok go
republic of loose
all american rejects
the killers

No wait, got it.
LOVE METAL.
HIM must be destroyed.
-
indie is a dumb genre name. Because it describes 90% of the music being produced today
-
Plus it's pretty much the only genre name that doesn't describe the music itself.
-
indie is used for the indie bands that people who don't use this forum actually hear about.
i don't get why need all these genre names anyway. it really looks to me like people are coming with the genre for their band before producing any music.
if i were to mix'n'match to make a new genre, it would have to be balladcore.
-
Pop
'nuff said
-
im really curious what genre these guys are defined as.

Invasion of the Mutant Space Bats of Doom (http://www.myspace.com/iotmsbod)
They came from the distant galaxy of Batsylvania
Attacking fleet ships travlling through the universe
They took control of them and then headed to our planet
Prepare for BATtle mortal men!
Invasion, of the mutant spacebats of doom
They will destroy your life, the bats, they will destroy your life
Invasion, of the mutant spacebats of doom
It's time to fight to the death!
Opon return to earth the human race was warned
By the head of the Batstorm, whose name was Sliftghensnurgh!
He said to the human race "we are destroy your life!"
Prepare for BATtle once again!
Invasion, of the mutant spacebats of doom
They will destroy your life, the bats, they will destroy your life

Invasion!
Their myspace page also has links to various other ridiculous bands, such as 120% Says Your Going To Explode and NeverDead (Vampyric Emo-Metal for...THE SCENE!*) They generally have the flavour of another awesome subsubsubgenre I'd forgotten (oddly, as at least one person as claimed I'm part of it), which is NWOSBHM, 'New Wave of Silly British Heavy Metal', which is mainly inhabited by Metal Batman
*"Sounds Like: my chemical imbalance, the used, aiden, prolly like a bit of greenday and falloutboy, panic at the myspace, taking back myspace, from first to myspace, poison the myspace, haste the myspace, underMYSPACE, H.I.M, H.E.R, S.H.E, I.T and Colonic Fetus. LIEK KEKEKE TTYL BI !xx_x"

Undercore?
-
I agree with the comment that said anything with "core" at the end.
-
Undercore?
Undercore! Overcore! Windmilling free!
The sXe Crew of wimbledon common are we!

The term undercore is particularly evil because it was invented by Dea...Dea...those guys...
Going back to nintendo bands, there are things like The Advantage, The One Ups, etc which are bands that simply cover themes and songs from nintendo, most of them belonging to either 16-bit and 32-bit consoles. AFAIK they do not compose their own material, in fact, some are overzealous about the technicality of the task, refusing to make it sound more rock-like. (Minibosses being an exception)
And then there are things like Hella, which are supposedly, nintendo-inspired rock. But just what the hell that means, i can't say.
-
And there are things like Machinae Supremacy, which just rock.
-
freak folk
but i love freak folk
I prefer to call it "new beard america".
-
I can think of maybe 5-6 nintendcore (or very similiar) bands. HORSE the band, 14 Year Old Girls, Enter Shikari, Sky Eats Airplane, The Advantage, Breakdance Kickboxer, and I hate this stuff.
I personally prefer nintendogrindcore, a la The Locust and Eddie Edwards (http://shitsuck.loukku.org/shit-8.html).
As for stupid genre names, I'd go for Epic Hollywood Metal. As for stupid genres, Pornogrind wins.
Also, I think "Groove Metal" is misleading as I think of Kyuss and other bearded stoner guys and not Machine Head when I hear the name.
EDIT: Also, Forest Folk is a stupid thing to call these new Finnish underground folk acts.

Zydecore. 60's African Psychedelic Ragtime Metal. And of course we can't forget the ever popular genre of Sci-fi Tango epitomized by the great Astro Piazzolla.
-

What kind of an idiot would call Piazzolla's work Sci-fi Tango? What's wrong with calling it Tango Nuevo like everyone else?
-
Sci Fi Tango has more lasers and Borg.
-
Sludgecore is the worst of the ~cores
-
Stoner Metal has always bugged me, because of the difficulty to express that I like the genre without sounding like a complete pothead.
-
I just call stoner metal sludge just because it's so much easier. At least around certain people.

Bluegrass
I mean, seriously, what?
Grass is blue now?
kentucky is the "bluegrass state", where bluegrass music started.
why does love metal exist? why?
-
Post-apacalypto spudrock. I've only ever heard it applied to "Powdered milk Man" by the Aquabats.
-
Nintendocore = Powerglove (http://www.myspace.com/vgmetal)?
Though I think Powerglove class themselves as VGMetal.
Also, the name spitbass (http://www.archive.org/details/Spitbass_Collection) is preety sucky - but it is supposed to.
-
Proto-shoegaze jangle pop.
Okay, that one's from a Something Awful satire.
-
I personally think shoegaze is a pretty hilarious name for a genre.

Your Band Sucks is amazing.

Negerpunk.
Alternative.
Post-rock.
That is all.
-
In my opinion, the most ignorant genre name I have ever heard is "HypnoSpazAcoustoPunk."
-
People i think you are forgetting Filk.
-
What would one call a group like Dragonforce (if anyone calls it anything other than "a funny joke")...?
-
Invasion of the Mutant Space Bats of Doom (http://www.myspace.com/iotmsbod)
Best part about IOTMSBOD and the other bands they link to are that they're all one guy. Played or plays in a lot of the NZ hardcore scene. Pretty much founded the first two metalcore bands we had. Yeah. Nice dude too.

Fucking excellent, you cretin? Power-metal to everyone else.

I remebered these gems from the wikipedia article on Hank Williams III
hard-twang, punkabilly, cowpunk, alternacountry, slacker swing, hellbilly, and honky punk
I particularly like honky punk.
-
The only thing Hank Williams 3 should be classified as is a shame to his grandfather's legacy...I feel wikipedia has tarnished the integrity of both cowpunk and punkabilly.
Anyway, in keeping with punkabilly, the silliest genre title is probably psychobilly.
-
I kinda feel that real genres, like psychobilly, should kinda be exempted from this.
We should be concentrating on cowpunk and grasscore and shit like that
-
Go listen to Meat Puppets II and the term Cowpunk will actually make sense.
-
power violence.
-

Please tell me that's not possible. Please.
-
Youth Crew
Power Violence
Crossover
D-beat
I would just call it all hardcore personally.
-
Skacore. Can't we just call it "punk with horns"?
-
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
World.

Proto-shoegaze jangle pop.

I think thats how an album i reviewed (Gersey's 'No Satellites') has been described in several places, possibly including the press release.
Its not a bad description

I... I don't... what the...
Dude Khar you just broke my mind. You broke my mind in such a beautiful way. I surrender.
Re: Dragonforce, I think of them as 'epic-swordbattlecore post-apocalyptic glorious power-metal-for-the-destruction-of-evil.' But that's just me.
-
Twee Funk
Its twee and its funky and Twunk sounds stupid
-
Skacore. Can't we just call it "punk with horns"?
Can we call Reggae "rock with horns"? I thought not. Also, its more horns with punk, seeing as the horns were there first. :-D
Anyhow, back on topic, electrocore-hiphop-hawaian-a'capella.
They exist.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Have you read David Byrne’s I Hate World Music (http://anize.org/ajm/archives/001316.html) essay?

ASTRO PIAZZOLLA! GET IT?
-

Please tell me that's not possible. Please.
No, seriously, go pick it up. Not only will it actually kind of make a tad bit of sense (Not that it's not a terrible name, but), but Meat Puppets II is awesome anyways.
-
shoegaze
.
(though i do love it)
-
Screamo.
Stupid goddamn name saddled on some great bands. Planesmistakenforstars being the greatest.
-
Screamo is pretty terrible as a genre name, but there's so much music that gets lumped in that category that I love...Planes are awesome, by the way...
The worst offender when it comes to bastardization of the term "emo" (http://questionablewiki.com/index.php/Emo)* would have to be this: I have heard people refer to Circle Takes The Square as..."Extremo" WTF????
*linked to it so you don't have to
-
waltzcore.

Monster Rock
I don't know if it actually exists but my friend described a band to me using the genre Monster Rock
-
Monster Rock
I don't know if it actually exists but my friend described a band to me using the genre Monster Rock
They sold CDs in america as collections of Monster Rock.
Its like hair metal, which is a stupid but cool genre name.
-
Scene-core.
Take out the music, put in a haircut, and voila! You have a band!
Some bands seem happy about this tag, which would bother me if I cared enough.
Also - Tweemo.(adj) Emo that's had it's already pitiful excuse for balls inverted and converted into the uterus of a simpering hampster.
-
There's been a bit of abuse of the free prefix in avant-ish circles of late.
Free-Twee: Skronky freeform music with cute elements.
Free-Rock: Basically noise-rock with no structure, but no one can decide if the genre exists or not.
Free-Folk: The term kind of makes sense for a few bands out there, but it isn't really a proper genre.
I also heard someone say Free Black-Metal somewere, but luckily I forgot who they were speaking of.
-
I haven't heard of any of those free- genres. I always liked the idea of free-improv, but it's only the type of thing that should be attempted by extremely consummate musicians, I would imagine. I thought about starting a free-metal project once, but I can't imagine that I would be able to do it in a tasteful manner. Free-twee sounds like something I would never want to put my ears close to, but yet I do feel obliged to check it out for the factor of absurdity alone, if you care to drop any names.
