I love new music, but I don’t follow links to music unless I know I’ll like the genre. For anyone that migrated, r/listentothis is my prime example (I don’t know if they ever came back online, so I’m unsure if anyone can go back to reference)

Example - title, artist [genre]

Wolves of the Revolution, The Arcadian Wild [folk][bluegrass]

    Think a guideline which encourages this might work better. Otherwise probably wise to avoid going as far as making it a bald requirement, but allowing imprecise indications i.e “[if you like X piece/artist/genre you might like this]” or even something as vague as a description of the vibe.

    A lot of people know little to nothing about genres, and there is plenty of music whose genre is hotly debated.
