I would suggest using the List of popular music genres page as a guide for restructuring this page, as well as any other genre pages that are not yet structured like it. - K1darkknight 02:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

is speedrock not a other rock genre?

this list is pretty good but it would be very useful if it could be more orgainized, by genre's that are related or that have influenced each other etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.253.125.123 (talk) 21:34, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I concur, we could base it off the system used on the russian wikipedia. Zazaban (talk) 23:00, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Synthpop

Is Synthpop really a style of rock? It really doesn't sound at all rock-ish... Sure, its origins are in new wave and post-punk, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's rock. So, what exactly makes it rock...? 121.220.40.70 (talk) 13:12, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Synthpop is technically a "derivative" of rock, not a subgenre.

it's a form of new wave ,so yeah it is a form of rock music — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rockerdude101 (talk • contribs) 16:18, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Criteria

Just a note to say that entries should, pretty obviously, be rock music and genres, not other forms of music, terms or national subdivisions of wider genres. Links should also not go to a band or be a redirect to an article that does not mention the genre, in these cases there is no evidence of notability.--SabreBD (talk) 23:33, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Progessive bluegrass ,Alternative country and wonky pop

--Rockerdude101 (talk) 22:50, 6 April 2012 (UTC)hello ,might I say adding these said genres into the list of rock genres ,because all of which in some way have elemnts of rock music in them — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rockerdude101 (talk • contribs) 16:24, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

yes ,all of these genres do have elements of rock music in them — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manda96 (talk • contribs) 16:58, 6 April 2012 (UTC) This template must be substituted. --Rockerdude101 (talk) 22:50, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

I already set out my position above. Some of the genres you have added are good work, they are clearly rock genres, but others are clearly not. The point of an article like this is not to add as many links as possible, but to provide a list of notable links that fit the title of the article. The use of bands is particularly problematic as these links risk becoming circular.--SabreBD (talk) 08:20, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

I added the links that liked to band because they where gen're that did not have there own sperate page ,I think I ,or someone else (I can't remember) has now taken them down ,I would maybe surggest that ,some of thegenre's that link to the same page (most of the subgenres to grindcore) ,that they have some kind of infomation of the page ,they are on the page (in the box that say's subgenres at the top in grindcore for example) ,however there is no infomation on the genre at all ,not on the page ,or on a different page ,I have aid this o nthe talk page on grindcore as well I think --Rockerdude101 (talk) 12:54, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

I think we are in agreement, although to be honest I find this extremely difficult to read. So, to summarise, only genres that link to pages, and only redirects where the target pages have some information on a subgenre. Linking to individual bands is really not acceptable.--SabreBD (talk) 15:40, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

yes, I fully agree with that --Rockerdude101 (talk) 15:03, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
