Transgenre

 Alright, so I'm registering my album to be distributed digitally.

Even on Soundcloud, I have a hard time deciding what genre my music is.

Am I folk? Folk pop? Country, maybe? Easy listening? Accountant-core? Life-metal?
It's primarily acoustic + keyboard sounds.
Can't go wrong with indie!

But on this jank internet form, here are my options:


I cannot believe that SKA is a genre but not folk, acoustic, pop, or easy listening.

Like, you guys already had jazz AND reggae, but noooooooooo, SKA is just a little bit different!

I have really spent like 15 minutes trying to figure out what to choose because I have to put something to fill out this dumb form.

I'm thinking of putting it under karaoke to throw everybody off.
Or soundtrack.
They'd be like, "This sounds cool...but wait! There's singing!"

Or classical...'cuz I'm classic.

When did comedy become a genre for music? When Al got Weird, I guess.

I love how they separated Christian and Gospel. And Metal and Rock. And Latin and World.
Just... LOVE. IT.

"New Age" is not only a religion for the non-religious but now, apparently, it's even music. The kind that hipsters listen to in long car rides to their bouncy desert feeling festivals. So relevant. So phresh. So zeitgeist. So times.

I suppose blues is like R&B but without the R.

For lack of better options, I'm going with blues. If you're on a music streaming platform one day, looking for me, and you can't find me because I'm horribly miscategorized, just know that I did the best I could.

Pronounce "saxophone" like it's a Greek name,
