Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

And in an Emo band, he's called Marv, but he's really bummed about it.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

In a House band, it's DJ Mar Vin.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

One of the things I love best about iTunes? The fact that you can edit things like genre classifications. My iTunes now has music classified according to genres that make sense to me, such as Swirly, Stompy, Britpop, Goth, Gothic Rock, Gothic God, and Eyeliner Boys.

For a moment, I thought that was all one classification, up to the "and" and I was worried about you.

No no, I haven't gone quite *that* insane.

So, for the edification of our readers, who would be examples of them? Here'd be my take:

  • Swirly: black tape for a blue girl, Claire Voyant
  • Stompy: VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berzerk, Stromkern
  • Britpop: Smiths, maybe Oasis. Depends on the period
  • Goth: Bauhaus, Christian Death, (early) Gene Loves Jezebel
  • Gothic Rock: H.I.M., (later) Gene Loves Jezebel, maybe Cruxshadows unless you have a seperate darkwave category
  • Gothic God: Peter Murphy (of course), maybe Voltaire. I'd say The Bowie, but he A) deserves his own category and B) would fit into so many categories anyway
  • Eyeliner Boys: Placebo, Pulp. And all the old skool Glam.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Britpop: Smiths

Britpop is specifically post-grunge; the term was coined in a backlash edition of Select magazine which highlighted Oasis etec.
