Why is Post-Rock mentioned two times?

And American Football is js one of the examples.

Also, what is the difference between bolded and not bolded genre tags? Are the 'thin' ones referring to the influences?

How should I add a track with an invisible Unicode character in its title?

I wanted to add an EP, but noticed that the first track has one of those invisible/blank symbols. I've read through the rules regarding adding music, and it says that it's discouraged to use symbols that don't follow basic QWERTY Unicode. So, my question is, how do I add that track with its title?

Albums with exactly one genre tag. What are some other examples of this?

Is this rare? I feel like it is. Maybe it is not.

So…where are the CAPSULE fans?

Started listening to CAPSULE about a year ago as I was getting into more Shibuya-kei stuff and have been a big fan ever since—now I’m going down an Electro house rabbit hole and good GOD is this duo glazed!! Where the ball knowers at?

I dreamed there was a music genre called alien invasion

The entire genre was concept albums about alien invasions and abductions. They could be any genre, but they were usually folk or country.

There were three albums by different bands that were considered the “big three” of the genre, but I don’t remember what any of them were called. They were all from the early to mid 2000s and had covers like picrel except they were psychedelic paintings. On rateyourmusic.com they all had scores in the low threes, yet somehow all three of them had multiple bolded tracks (meaning they were in the top 10,000 songs of all time according to users of the site).

And because i dont see much of a reason making distinctions in my ratings between different albums that do nothing for me anyways

What artists seen as "RYM-core" is actually not RYM-core?

I would say Swans. i heard first about them on RYM (i'm a Gen Z guy) and i thought this band was RYM-core, but apparently, they are not RYM-core. They were been around a long time and were pretty huge before RYM was created in 2000. they have many Gen X and Boomers fans

I also believed Ninajirachi was rym-core, but i learned that recently, she exploded in popularity in her native country Australia and she get more and more popular on the EDM scene in North America.

I search especially for artists that many people believe they are popular only on the internet when they have actual popularity offline.

Appreciate the AI notice

I have no desire to engage with AI “music” so I appreciate it being labelled like this
