Music Genres that Don't Exist
Music genres that are debatable if they're a genre or not, or some that are just generally questionable.Generally used to mock Post- Grunge and Glam Metal, but does not exist by itself alone.
Terrible Post-Grunge/Nu-Metal
Obviously not a music genre.
Actually the stuff called dadrock (Bon Jovi, Scorpions, Smoke on the Water) is very similar if this not-so-kind word is used correctly (excluding Pink Floyd).
Kind of similar to the annoying Butt Rock term, but reserved for classic rock bands.
I hate the term "Dad Rock" because it's just too subjective.
Pretty sure this is just Glam Metal.
Not a music genre - just particular lyrics. You can't create a new music genre based only on specific lyrics. Music is based on notes, lyrics - on words.
Heard about this one, at first I thought it was a genre but now I kind of doubt it.
This exists.
A niche subgenre is still a subgenre.
Not a music genre - Christian Metal bands play existing metal subgenres (thrash, death, power metal,...) but with Christian lyrics. It's just a group of bands with that particular lyrical theme. Musically, a Christian Power Metal band plays the same music a regular Power Metal band plays. Music is the same so Christian Metal isn't a music genre.
This never was a music genre at all, and if I'm being honest metal bands singing about Christian lyrics doesn't make a new genre exist.
Not a music genre. Why? - see my comment on Christian Metal.
Also debatable if it's a real music genre or not.
This genre exists oh dear god why is it on here
It's been around since 1998 with Kid Rock and Bubba Sparxxx this is a simple Google search that's easy to fix
Heard it a few times, but honestly "Country Rap" is Bro- County... and it's debatable if "Country Rap" counts as its own music genre.
Hardcore Adult Contemporary? That's an oxymoron.
Is this metal songs about going shopping?
I just don't see it as its own genre because other than the fact it has horror lyrics, the musical style is still punk and is just generally questionable to me.
I've seen it used a few times online, but it just doesn't roll off the tongue as much as Hard Rock or Heavy Metal does.
The closest thing I can think to this is a few Primus songs like "Winona's Big Brown Beaver".
Honestly it's more of an outdated term originally used for certain heavy, thrash, and occasionally power metal bands back in the day
Pretty obvious that this isn't a music genre. It's just a song edit.
