I think it makes up for an interesting conversation on how much things have changed on the website since then, and perhaps some of the original admins would be more knowledgeable. How did art rock come to be removed from the website and how did all the other sub-genres get born? Just generally curious to hear the story as well as the opinions of other forum users. Smile




That's a heck of a top 12 in Art Rock.
I like that they split it, it's not perfect but better for someone like myself who is into sub genres lists.That Art Rock sub genre was massive.

Art-rock was not removed but split in three: eclectic, crossover and heavy-prog.
