I found that it was hard to classify things into categories. A lot of these more specified genres had roots in more than one category. Also, classifying music into genre is something that not everyone will agree on. For instance, while some may differentiate between happy hardcore and nintendocore, others may choose to lump them into one genre. Others still would define all of the ____cores as hardcore. Again, it depends on the individual communities classifying the music as to what it's genre will be. I found that the classifications, while easy to understand do not fully articulate the music. It seems to me that the best way to experience music would be to simply try all things and see if you like it.
