W is for Western (Western Spaghetti in this case):

Ennio Morricone - The Ecstacy of Gold



EDIT: And there is World Music generally.

^ Oh yeah, with Z there is Zeuhl. And I'm big on something called Zolo (Cardiacs, the Residents, Zappa, Devo etc.) With W there is Western CLassical Music, or Western. With X, looking it up there is Xote, but I was going to do Xylophonecore or some such thing. With y there is Yodelling (considered a genre).

Don't worry about the opening text overmuch. That was just a extremely sleept me thinking about how to approach this and I already think rather differently. Don't have to limit to one video, don't have to go up a letter with each post.... Pretty flexible. All responses have been good and appreciated.

I'll do V for Vaporwave.

As always I didn't read the opening text properly. Sorry. But here's Sia singing while pretending to be Lorde in a funny South Park-episode. The genre is Urban:

R is for Rock In Opposition

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

R is for Rockabilly. Like Carl Perkins, for instance....
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

^ Who would have guessed there's such a genre as Queercore!? Shocked

Quiet Storm - a sub-genre of Soul music pioneered by R & B radio. I just missed out on "P" for Psychedelic Soul. Smile

The Isley Brothers - Between the Sheets

Well shiver me pirate booty.   That also works for RRRRR.

P is of course also for a plethora of psychedelia.

I'll do Psychedelic Folk with Mark Fry's The Witch:
