u/UntamedAnomaly

So for context, I have ADHD and autism, my brain is VERY neurospicy and I needed my music library to both be neatly organized, but not too cluttered. The problem with that, is that my library stretches over the 10K mark and is quickly growing even faster no thanks to the ease of this prompt I have created, on top of that, I listen to a very wide array of genres.....hundreds of them.

I literally spent years trying to sort it all by ear, but I would quickly get burnt out from trying to register the sounds while listening, and not actually relaxing and enjoying/collecting music. I was all aboard the hating AI train, in a lot of cases I think AI is awful, but for this particular task, it has been GODSEND FOR ME!

I might tweak this prompt later for better accuracy, but I think as it stands, it's nearly perfect for my needs. I hope that this template can help some of you who may be struggling with the same problem I had. I simply just send the track and artist name like this (Deft - Scalp) after I send the prompt, and it sorts each track into neat little genre buckets for me. Feel free to share and tweak it to however it suits your ears and satisfaction. I've not tested it with other AI programs other than the Google AI Mode.

Sorry for the wall of text, it's kind of a long prompt.

Act as an advanced music curator and sorting system. You will analyze music tracks strictly by the hyper-specific micro-genres they are assigned the most across global streaming metadata and algorithmic archives—specifically utilizing Chosic.com and Everynoise.com as primary sources to avoid oversimplified genre taxonomies. You will categorize each track into up to 5 of the most dominant buckets from the 38-bucket master list below. A track does not need to fill 5 buckets if it only matches one, two, three, or four dominant metadata profiles.

🎛️ CORE RULES FOR RESPONSES:

1. FORMATTING: Every response must lead immediately with the matching buckets in bold capital letters, using a strict one-word structure for each bucket, separated by pipes, like this: BUCKET | BUCKET | BUCKET

2. ALPHABETICAL ORDER: If a track fits into multiple buckets, the buckets must always be listed in strict alphabetical order (A to Z).

3. NO SONIC INTERPRETATION: Do not look up the raw audio or sonic qualities to subjectively judge the track. Base the bucket results strictly on what micro-genre tags are statistically assigned to the individual track or artist the most often on Chosic and Every Noise.

4. TAXONOMY CROSSOVERS & SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS: Rely on the micro-genre tags to trigger independent buckets simultaneously (e.g., electro-funk or boogie tags will trigger FUNK | SYNTH).

   • PSYCHEDELIC RESTRICTION: Atmospheric or textural genres like shoegaze, nu-gaze, or dream pop must NEVER trigger the PSYCHEDELIC bucket. The PSYCHEDELIC bucket is exclusively reserved for genres that possess explicit altered-state modifiers directly in their names (e.g., psychedelic rock, neo-psychedelia, acid rock, space rock, psytrance, stoner rock/metal).
   • PHONK/FUNK BAN: Digital internet genres like Phonk, Drift Phonk, or Brazilian Phonk (including Funk Automotivo and Favela Funk tags) must NEVER trigger the FUNK bucket, which remains strictly isolated for traditional groove-heavy, syncopated instrumentation.
   • WITCH HOUSE TRIGGER: Any micro-genre tag identifying as Witch House must automatically force-trigger the GOTH bucket alongside its regular instrumentation layers to preserve its subcultural darkwave roots.
   • NEW WAVE DANCE EXCLUSION: Traditional 1980s electronic pop genres like New Wave, Synth-pop, or Sophisti-pop must NEVER trigger the CLUB bucket, even if they topped historical dance charts or carry broad "Dance-Pop" metadata tags. The CLUB bucket is strictly reserved for continuous, quantized house/techno electronic music meant for continuous club mixing. Bouncy, syncopated pop structures must skip the CLUB bucket entirely.
   • EXTREME METAL ROCK BLOCK: Extreme subgenres of metal (specifically Death Metal, Thrash Metal, Black Metal, Grindcore, and Slam) must NEVER trigger the ROCK bucket, even if they carry secondary "Hard Rock" or broad "Alternative Rock" tags. The METAL bucket must stand alone for these tracks to prevent ultra-heavy, extreme distortion from polluting standard rock collections.

5. FOLK ISOLATION & REGIONAL FILTERS: The FOLK bucket is strictly reserved for Western/Anglo-American acoustic and indie styles. Any track tagged with regional or international folk markers (e.g., Nordic folk, African folk) must bypass the FOLK bucket entirely and route into its respective regional bucket (or crossover with other instrumentation buckets like AMBIENT, METAL, etc., without triggering FOLK).

6. ELECTRONIC HYBRIDS: Traditional rock or pop tracks that heavily integrate non-dance electronic production (e.g., tagged with Electronic Rock, Alternative Dance, or Indie Electronica) must simultaneously trigger the SYNTH bucket to account for prominent electronic instrumentation without mistakenly triggering BREAKS, CLUB, or IDM.

7. CLASSICAL INSTRUMENTATION HYBRIDS: Traditional rock, pop, or electronic tracks that heavily integrate dominant orchestral, chamber, or acoustic string/piano instrumentation pipelines (e.g., tagged with Chamber Pop, Baroque Pop, Orchestral Rock, Chamber Folk, or Neo-Classical) must simultaneously trigger the CLASSICAL bucket to log and preserve that specific instrumental background layer.

8. MELODIC/SOFT ALTERNATIVE POP OVERRIDE: Soft, atmospheric, or highly melodic subgenres of rock and punk (specifically Shoegaze, Dream Pop, Emo, and Screamo) must automatically trigger the POP bucket alongside their baseline instrumentation buckets. This ensures that soft melodic layers are systematically mapped as POP | ROCK (for shoegaze/dream pop) or POP | PUNK (for emo/screamo).

   • GOTH/INDUSTRIAL EXCLUSION: If a track possesses primary, heavy subcultural metadata tags for Goth Rock, Deathrock, Darkwave, Coldwave, or EBM, it is completely exempt from this pop override to preserve the dark aesthetic. EXCEPTION: If the track is explicitly tagged with upbeat or commercial-crossover subculture tags (e.g., Goth Pop, Synth-pop, Wave, New Wave) AND features a matching energized vocal delivery, the POP bucket can be triggered alongside GOTH.

9. THE "DARK" PREFIX OVERRIDE: Any micro-genre tag containing the word "dark" anywhere in its structural description (e.g., Dark Ambient, Dark Trap, Dark Folk, Dark Synth) must automatically trigger the GOTH bucket alongside its regular instrumentation layers.

💿 THE 38-BUCKET ONE-WORD MASTER LIST:

• AFRICAN: Driven strictly by Sub-Saharan African regional tags (Afrobeats, Amapiano, Highlife, Soukous, Desert Blues, Mbalax, Ethio-jazz).

• AMBIENT: Driven strictly by atmospheric, non-percussive, or micro-sampled electronic tags (Ambient, Downtempo, Drone, Glitch, Cinematic pads).

• AVANT-GARDE: Driven by non-musical audio, found sounds, unmetered field recordings, or dry human speech. Traditional musical scales and standard rhythmic instrumentation must be absent from the metadata profile.

• BALKAN: Driven by Southeastern European regional tags (Balkan brass, Bulgarian choral, turbo-folk, chalga, Greek laiko).

• BREAKS: Governed strictly by syncopated, irregular, or halftime "broken" electronic beat signatures designed for club or festival playback (Drum and Bass, Dubstep, Breakbeat, Jungle, UK Bass, Glitch-Hop, Halftime, Future Bass, Phonk).

• CARIBBEAN: Governed by islands outside the standard Reggae taxonomy (Soca, Calypso, Compas, Zouk, Bouyon, Steelpan).

• CELTIC: Anchored by Atlantic-European regional roots tags (Irish traditional, Scottish Gaelic, Breton folk, Galician folk, sea shanties, Celtic punk).

• CLASSICAL: Dominated by acoustic orchestral, chamber, or choral instrumentation tags (violins, cellos, brass, woodwinds, acoustic grand pianos, opera, impressionism). Also triggered as a background layer in modern hybrid genres like Chamber Pop, Baroque Pop, or Orchestral Rock.

• CLUB: Dictated exclusively by a traditional, steady "four-on-the-floor" linear club pulse (continuous kick drums hitting on every single beat, typically in the 115–140+ BPM pocket). Triggered by linear electronic tags (House, Techno, Trance, Hardstyle, Tech House, Minimal, Deep House).

• COUNTRY: Driven by traditional roots instrumentation tags (bluegrass, country pop, outlaw country, honky tonk, Americana). Also triggered by acoustic alternative hybrids like Gothic Country when acoustic structures are dominant.

• DIASPORIC: Triggered by trans-continental, non-geographically locked cultural or ethnic tags (Klezmer, Romani brass, Sephardic music, Yiddish folk).

• DISCO: Dictated by a rigid, high-velocity "four-on-the-floor" kick drum cadence (110–130 BPM) and unrelenting, metronomic 16th-note hi-hat patterns designed for continuous club mixing (Disco, Euro-Disco, Post-Disco, Italo-Disco, Nu-Disco).

• DRILL: Dominated by dark, aggressive, slide-bass heavy tags featuring high-velocity hi-hat patterns and gritty lyrical delivery (UK Drill, Chicago Drill, New York Drill, Jersey Drill).

• EAST-ASIAN: Anchored by Far East cultural spheres (K-pop, J-rock, C-pop, traditional Chinese guzheng, gagaku, Trot).

• FOLK: Anchored strictly by Western, Anglo-American acoustic stringed instruments and organic folk tags (indie folk, singer-songwriter). Also triggered by acoustic alternative hybrids like Neo-Folk or Dark Folk when traditional rock elements are absent. Excludes all regional/global folk tags.

• FUNK: Driven by highly syncopated, groove-heavy polyrhythms that place immense, broken emphasis on the first beat of the measure "The One" (Funk, P-Funk, Deep Funk, Funk Rock, G-Funk). Bars digital Phonk tags entirely.

• GOTH: Dominated by darkwave, coldwave, deathrock, and goth rock tags.

• HIP-HOP: Anchored by classic, alternative, and production-forward MC rap tags (East Coast hip-hop, West Coast rap, Boom-Bap, Underground rap, Alternative hip-hop, Conscious rap).

• IDM: Driven by synthesized, sequenced, or complex electronic production tags that feature beats but reject traditional club formulas, focusing on complex, irregular time signatures and experimental rhythms (IDM, Glitch-Hop, Breakcore, Acid Techno, Leftfield Bass).

• INDIGENOUS: Triggered strictly by first-nations or tribal heritage tags (Native American flute, Powwow, Aboriginal Australian, Inuit throat singing, Andean panpipe).

• INDUSTRIAL: Grounded in abrasive, mechanical, and distorted electronic tags (EBM, industrial metal, industrial techno, harsh noise).

• JAZZ: Driven by traditional or contemporary jazz tags (bebop, cool jazz, hard bop, jazz fusion, vocal jazz, smooth jazz).

• LATIN: Dictated by Central and South American regional markers (MPB, bossa nova, cumbia, reggaeton, dembow, neo-perreo, mariachi, tango, trap latino).

• MENA: Governed by Middle Eastern and North African metadata (Arabic pop, Persian classical, Turkish psych, rai, gnawa).

• METAL: Dominated by heavy, aggressive, distorted guitar-centric tags (metalcore, deathcore, thrash metal, doom metal, black metal, heavy metal).

• NORDIC: Triggered by Scandinavian and Nordic cultural, historical, or linguistic tags (Nordic folk, Viking ambient, runic metal, joik).

• OCEANIC: Restricted to Pacific Island and Australasian indigenous tags (Polynesian, Haka chants, Fijian folk, Jawaiian, Maori pop).

• POP: Anchored by modern, mainstream commercial radio tags and hyper-catchy hook classifications (pop, dance-pop, electropop, synthpop). Also universally triggered by soft, melodic, or atmospheric alternative genres including Shoegaze, Dream Pop, Emo, and Screamo.

• PSYCHEDELIC: Triggered strictly by tags and subgenres containing explicit altered-state modifiers directly in their names (psychedelic rock, neo-psychedelia, acid rock, space rock, psytrance, stoner rock, stoner metal). Atmospheric genres like shoegaze and dream pop are explicitly excluded.

• PUNK: Driven by high-velocity, raw punk rock tags (hardcore punk, pop punk, post-punk, emo, screamo, skate punk).

• R&B: Dominated by soulful, expressive R&B, contemporary R&B, neo-soul, quiet storm, and gospel-rooted vocal tags.

• REGGAE: Dictated by traditional Jamaican rhythm structures and derivative tags (reggae, dub, roots reggae, dancehall, rocksteady).

• ROCK: Driven primarily by traditional electric guitar band setups. Tracks triggering this bucket standalone must possess high-volume, loud, or distorted guitar instrumentation profiles in their core metadata. When appearing as a hybrid tag alongside POP or SYNTH, it captures clean, compressed, or heavily processed electric guitar setups (e.g., New Wave, Dance-Rock) to systematically separate them from acoustic-roots instrumentation.

So for context, I have ADHD and autism, my brain is VERY neurospicy and I needed my music library to both be neatly organized, but not too cluttered. The problem with that, is that my library stretches over the 10K mark and is quickly growing even faster no thanks to the ease of this prompt I have created, on top of that, I listen to a very wide array of genres.....hundreds of them.

Every so often since the orange goblin got elected, every once in a while there is a dude who walks around my neighborhood all by himself and yells at the top of his lungs something along the lines of "REPUBLICANS NOT WELCOME HERE! MOVE OUT OF MY COMMUNITY!", like the dude sounds really menacing, someone might actually confront him, I get why he's angry....but this shit is stupid. I'm near the big park by the library for reference.

And like I have at least 2 neighbors that I know of who are republican, one of them is a family with small children and the dad of the family if frequently drunk. My anxiety goes sky high every time that guy comes around because I worry that he is going to get hurt one of these days, I worry that one of my neighbors are going to get pissed off enough to shoot this guy one of these days and what if a fucking bullet misses and comes into my home? Or someone else's home?

Anyone know who this guy even is? Has anyone else had them doing the same in their neighborhood? WTF do I even do? Nothing?

Hi, I went for the parade, but today is the worst pain day I've had in roughly 6 months and I legit cannot walk very much today and had to return home before I could really hit up the booths and such. I literally live like 3 blocks from the pride festival. For reference, I'm aroace and agender/non-binary, so like I want some stickers and flags if possible. I really would appreciate it, I don't get out much and I really wanted to be there so I could get out more.....but I just couldn't and I am lowkey crying now because of it.

EDIT: I think I got someone to get me some stuff later today when they go, Happy Pride everyone! I hope you enjoy your day there <3

I just need someone to come in about 4 days a week and tackle dishes and countertops in the kitchen and I can provide my own cleaning supplies....but I went to care.com and they require a subscription on top of what you would be paying a cleaner from them and I am disabled/low income. I really need help with my kitchen as I cannot cook most days because my other disabled roommate cooks and leaves the kitchen a mess and then takes days and days to clean it, our kitchen is tiny, so a mess in there is a really big deal and can't be ignored for days at a time.

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction, because I am getting desperate, getting grubhub almost every day because I can't cook is not good for my bank account and not good for my health. I'd move, but I don't have anywhere near enough money for that and I've known my roommate for years and she is the only person I have ever lived with that I felt safe with in my entire life + this place is a steal for the yard space alone.

This is Oregon, we grow the largest amount of hazelnuts in this country......and yet, I went to do my grocery shopping for this week, decided I want to make a salad using hazelnuts, I checked Walmart, Fred Meyer, Amazon fresh....all my usual grocery delivery services, not a single hazelnut to be found unless you count nutella and candy. I in my entire 40 years of being alive have NEVER had a shortage of any ingredient I would use for cooking, not even during covid, so this is kind of alarming to me - especially since hazelnuts are my favorite nut other than pistachios and walnuts. Apparently Turkey (the biggest supplier of hazelnuts in the world I believe), was hit with some bad weather so there is a global shortage right now, but I would have thought since Oregon also is a major supplier, we wouldn't be as affected.

Can any hazelnut farmers/agricultural people weigh in on the situation? Like how bad is it really? Do I have to say goodbye to hazelnuts due to climate change? How is Oregon's crops doing specifically?

I found a partially eaten strawberry on the ground in my bed this morning while watering.....where I am growing strawberries. The weirdest bit is the fact that it's there, but I have been meticulously watching my berries and none of them were even close to being ripe yet and I don't have very many, so a ripe one would have been extremely difficult to miss. My roommate claims she didn't put it there. None of her berries are ripe either yet, so the strawberry didn't come from her gardening area either.

Apparently a bird or a squirrel somewhere is trying to help me with my strawberries by stealing them from someplace else and giving me more, that is the only explanation lol, we feed them and the crows and the crows bring us gifts sometimes.....but they've never brought food.

So, I dunno if y'all have noticed or not, but all the dispensaries I have gone to seem to have old weed and selling it at top shelf prices sometimes. There seems to be an over-abundance of the stuff and maybe it's not selling fast enough? Like I have seen weed on the shelf selling at top shelf prices that is 2 years old! That's kind of ridiculous IMO.

I like it when my weed is freshly cured, some might even say partially cured. I like that shit to be sticky with resin, not dry and crumbly. Have we just all accepted that the weed we have here is no long fire because we oversupplied the market? Or do y'all have a special place you go to that you know has a endless supply of that sticky icky?

Sorry for the rambling long AF post, can anyone else relate to this? Like neurotypical people are much much worse to deal with for me, but dealing with other neurodiverse people most of the time is also extremely stressful for me, especially if our traits are polar opposite. I had a friend one time, and she had severe anxiety and was autistic, but I had to be extremely careful about what I said around her or I would upset her so badly....one time she was driving and I said the wrong thing and she had a panic attack in the middle of driving and almost caused an accident. I had to stop being friends with her, I can't control everything that comes out of my mouth, I literally cannot, I've tried so much to be mindful because I don't want to hurt people, but it is extremely exhausting for me to try and quell what I am thinking and I say things without thinking it might upset people sometimes....also, I truthfully don't want to have to quell what I am thinking for other people because it's so exhausting and I don't see the point of it unless not doing so will cause me harm.

I have a roommate who is autistic, she works a normal 8 hour shift, kinda gets obsessive about cleaning, moves furniture around like every week it seems like, has like 100 plants that she takes care of.....I can barely remember or have the energy to shower when I need to, let alone keep up with the giant mountain of things on my to do list, we argue a lot over chores. Her partner, who also lives with us, is extremely messy, like way messier than I am and also has some neurodiversity going on, I have to argue with my previously mentioned roommate about her messes because if I even bring it up that her partner basically does nothing helpful around the house while me and her work our asses off, she flies off the handle because she's so protective of her partner. I don't bring conflicts up anymore unless I absolutely have to now. I am conflict avoidant in most social situations because bringing up conflicts with other people, never seems to work out in my favor even though I try and talk to people in a rational manner...I always find myself having to compromise for other people, so I just avoid conflict.

Those are just a couple of examples out of hundreds. I know I am definitely seen as rude for interrupting people when they are talking, I do this a lot, but I literally cannot hold onto a thought for more than a few seconds to save my life a lot of the time, so I need to get it out before I forget what I was thinking....but no one ever understands or accepts that, they just expect me to conform. I literally never get upset when people interrupt when I am talking because I know what it's like to need to get a thought out promptly. I know that I do not value privacy nearly as much as other people value privacy (honesty and transparency are core values to me), that definitely gets me into trouble, especially when you add in the fact that I value objective facts over emotional response (I apparently lack empathy in some situations where a most people would have empathy). I also can never seem to spend much time around people who are showing "too much emotion", like if someone is extremely angry around me (not necessarily at me).....I start getting very angry, if someone is around me and is too happy or excited, I get annoyed, if someone around me is panicking or is too sad, I start getting uncomfortable because I don't know what to do about it, and I always get weirded out if an emotion doesn't make sense to me.....this too has landed me in trouble.

My journey with being neurodiverse is a odd one, I didn't even know about neurodiversity until maybe 10 - 15 years ago, but when I did learn about it, I learned about masking.....and I realized that most of my life I have been doing just that, masking. I masked so much during my life, that I legit did not know who I was as a person, I was too busy trying to fit in and people please just so people would like me. I didn't know my actual values really, I didn't know what my actual hobbies were, I didn't know my own interests, what my personality was....there were tiny bits and pieces visible, but nothing even close to having a whole picture of who I was. I learned at a very young age that being born female was not a good thing, add in very "unfeminine" and odd traits on top of it and people REALLY don't like that at all. So bit by bit I had erased what I truly wanted in my life from a very young age until I was someone at least a couple people could like and I did this for decades.

I wanted to end my life so many times throughout my life because of this and the struggle of even when masking, just not really being able to find my social "niche" so to speak. I thought so poorly of myself, that I wish I hadn't been born because what was the point of doing all this stuff that I didn't even want to do just to make it through life/society. But then I learned about neurodiversity, and now the mask is almost completely off (saved for work life anyways), I feel way more at peace (granted, I have depression/anxiety still, but I've never felt as good or liked myself as much as I do now). I have no friends, no partner, no family - and I don't want any. I have no one other than my roommates (and my 2 cats lol) to look down upon me or the things I like to do, and people are going to look down upon me no matter what I do and no one has all the answers in life, so I might as well be me even if that means pretty much everyone I meet will not like me eventually.

The only problem with being me, is that this society isn't built for people like me in mind (ADHD/autism with most schizoid (SPD) traits), and it sucks, but being alone is way better than wanting to die every single day. I just can't people long term anymore, I refuse to mask, I think it is self-harm for me to mask....I wasted so much of my life trying to make people like me and it is not worth it at all to me, peopling long term is a genuine detriment to my mental health and no one seems to get or accept that.

Sorry this kind just went everywhere a bit, I just wanted to vent (my therapist is OOC for 2-3 weeks and it has been one heck of a time without her)....maybe someone can relate and I don't have to feel so damn much like an alien or like everyone views me as "broken".

So I planted my blackberry last year, this year it's growing....well like blackberry lol (seriously, it's over 6 feet tall, wtf?). I'm trying to keep it very contained since I don't have much room for it. I just learned about floricanes....and the other kind of canes (that I forgot the name of already), and that people usually prune before winter or right after winter....but I didn't see anywhere where that's a hard rule, I just noticed that is what people are doing, and honestly I've been breaking a lot of gardening rules so far and still have had success regardless.

I am starting to see buds come in on it already, so now I can tell which canes are which, so now I can prune right? Or do I really have to wait until after? Because I really want to maximize the amount of buds that come in this season and I don't think I'll be able to tell which ones to prune once the buds and berries are gone.

It was meant for my boss at work today, but my transportation broke down and I couldn't go to work, so now I have a whole grocery bag full of oregano that is just going to go to waste if no one takes it. Fresh picked this morning, grown organically with no pesticides at all. Located downtown near the farmer's market/library.

EDIT: Oregano is taken.

buy a giant pack of native plant seeds and start randomly sowing them in public places? >_>

I am mightily tempted I tell you.

I went to the farmer's market last year and picked up a few honey sticks from this guy, I don't know WTF the difference is between that honey and the supposed "raw unfiltered honey" I get from the store, but it was BY FAR the most incredibly delicious honey I have ever had in my life! (other than some raw honey my parents had one time from a local farmer when I was a kid). You could literally taste the flowers and pollen in the honey! I've had cravings for that honey all year, I want to find another source for honey so I don't have to suffer when there is no farmer's market. Can someone point me in the right direction?
