 @dd88ac80 doesn't work for any kind of more or less underground or experimental music. having more or less precise genre tag is a privilege, not a given. works even worse with musicians who self-define their genre to something new 
 @e6bd88f8 I can always reroll if the selected genre is way too weird 
 @dd88ac80 i meant a bit different thing. for instance, you say #blackmetal, and we reply with something by cradle of filth, say, this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_aMnV1uaCY

was black metal on the tag list? yes. is it what you think of when you say #blackmetal ? i think not

tags like grunge and sludge are precise enough without being too limiting, but there's as much of those as you can find 
 @e6bd88f8 @dd88ac80 #blackmetal
