Hey all,
I'm interested in knowing what music would you say is unmistakably yours, in the sense that when you hear it you remember nights with the family/friends, parties, or maybe they remind you of your grandparents' musky apartment, or nights at the beach, whatever.
For me there is a story behind almost every style of music I listen to, so my spotify lists are "nostalgia_parents", "nostalgia_grandpa", "nostalgia_home" etc. lol, and I think it's similar for everybody, so I was curious... what are your stories?

So, as a followup to the music tagging thread from a few days ago, I would like to propose the following for discussion.
- Should all musical posts be tagged with at least one high-level musical genre?
The consensus from the last post appeared to be a yes on this. Please note:, this doesn't mean that anyone who submits a track is required to go look up / determine the best genre themselves. If they choose not to, one of the tag mods may do so for them while browsing. Further, we seemed to reach a consensus last time that in the future it would be best to automate this step as completely as possible.
- Which tags do we want to use?
I / @Whom have done some digging and found several different schemes we might use as a basis. For convenience, I've reproduced them in a table for you below:
<html> <head> <body>
FreeDB Discogs Wikipedia Allmusic Rate Your Music Blues Blues Blues Blues Ambient Classical Brass & Military Classical Classical Blues Country Children's Country Country Classical Music Folk Classical Electronic Electronic Comedy Jazz Electronic Folk International Country Newage Folk, World, & Country Hip-hop Jazz Dance Reggae Funk / Soul Jazz Latin Electronic Rock Hip-hop Reggae Pop/Rock Experimental Soundtrack Jazz Religious R&B Field Recordings Latin Rock Rap Folk Non-Music Traditional Reggae Hip Hop Pop Industrial Music Reggae Jazz Rock Metal Stage & Screen Musical Theatre and Entertainment New Age Pop Psychedelia Punk R&B Regional Music Rock Singer/Songwriter Ska Sounds and Effects Spoken Word
</body> </html>I think ideally we will be able to come up with (say) a list the size of wikipedia, allmusic or discogs such that determining the right genre isn't much of a burden on tag mods. In the future, we could expand this or even start inheriting the RYM genre hierarchy (e.g., Ska -> 2 Tone, Jamaican Ska, Spouge, Third Wave Ska)
So with that out of the way, I think the best way to proceed is for each of you to either:
A) Build a list of your own with one of these as a basis. We can count up how many people include a genre an count as a vote for it's inclusion.
Or
B) Argue for / against a specific genre's inclusion.
Sound good? Did I miss anything?

Hello all you good people, we made it to week 10! Here we've got this week's user-voted record: ▣世界から解放され▣ by ░▒▓新しいデラックスライフ▓▒░ !
From @Cleb:
Internet Club takes a bizarre set of samples consisting of things from Dragon Ball to some random Japanese radio show and turns them into a glitchy, repetitive vaporwave project that sounds just a little bit unhinged.
Here's the place to discuss your thoughts on the record, your history with it or the artist, and basically talk about whatever you want to that goes along with ▣世界から解放され▣. Remember that this is intended to be a slow moving thing, feel free to take your time and comment at any point in the week!
If you'd like to stream or buy the album, it can be found on YouTube or bought on Bandcamp.
