Had a poll yes, but the fella went through some work listing all those sub-genres!


Does the OP have any examples of these?

Experimental Improvisation
Experimental Noise


Are those real? Or is my typing on the keyboard right now 'experimental noise?" :)
 
i applaud you on your dedication to the topic.

i'd have to, since can only choose 1, got with modern rock, mainly for alt rock. but i am into rock and hip hop, but moreso rock.

well done topic
 
The stratification of the genres kind of bothers me… I have read the list a couple of times… so bare with me… Doesn’t “Alternative Rock” which is under the Modern Rock category sum up all the stratifications of the other Rock categories? I personally thought the other Poll was fine… though it seems a lot of people would like to separate the genres into a wider spectrum. I dunno… maybe I am alone in this opinion… and that is fine… won’t be the first time.
 
Experimental noise is an avant-garde genre where people make "noise" using amps and distortion without instruments. It has a huge underground following in Japan...bands include Melt Banana, ex-Girl, Haruki Murakami, and a few others I can't think of now. Experimental improvisation, I'm guessing, is improvising using various shit...like Bobby McFerron and stuff.
 
Brit Pop
Grunge
Rock en Espanol
Experimental Rock
Indie Rock
Chamber Pop

They are all under Alternative Rock which is under Modern Rock, and then Indie Rock is another catagory under Modern Rock. I couldn't figure out how to do tabs in CheapAssGamer so I just did the best I could do. Also having only 10 poll options available was restrictive.

Experimental Noise is definitely a genre, moreso found in academic music, "modern classical" have you. A very famous piece by John Cage was titled 4'33" and is just 4 minutes 33 seconds of silence. I guess that would be more avant-garde but he also did a lot of experimental stuff with melody/harmony. A lot of people in academic music nowadays focus on modern classical some using synthesis and sampling or random noises.
 
I voted Rock!

Why? My favorite bands include...

38 Special
Journey
REO Speedwagon

Yeah, I know, I'm too cool for school.
