I was hilariously amused to read a comment on one of my YT vids, which showcases a riff in the song called 'Seeds' by ARIA. The riff is very machinegun like and the comment stated: 'Wow dude! Typewritecore!' it feels great to have invented a new sub sub sub sub genre, but hey, after all, it's just music, ain't it? How are you guys feeling about all the sub-genres people are using to define music nowadays - do you think it's better to say that one thing is classic metal and another modern for instance? It definitely feels much easier and less pressurizing on people, who won't sometimes know where to place a band when they talk about it You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's only when people start arguing about this being 'x' and that not being 'y' that I switch off (e.g. YouTube comments). You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I don't mind there being different genres an it is useful but it gets a bit ridiculous with how many there are now. But yes, the worst is when somebody makes the 'dreadful error' of getting a genre wrong ! It's laughable how pedantic people are. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
