so quick trawl across teh first page of showcase and the following genres jump out
- boom bap, chill rap, rap, trap, dirty south, etc
- edm, electronica, ambient, trance, house
- rnb including neo-soul, etc
- regaae and variations
- rock/metal/pop
- promotional videos
I include the last one as a lot of videos are made as promotional vehicles by people to promote someone else's music; this would give us somewhere for these non-production related videos to be submitted
Yes it dilutes the showcase but given that the traffic in showcase is so high, this should not really be a problem except for low volume like maybe rock/metal/pop
as for transferring, it will only take a few weeks of daily runs through the older showcase all in one thread to populate the others fully (happy to do it to while away the hours). most cases the genre will be obvious based on artist type or other naming in the thread title. Some may require reading of the thread post, some may require messages from a mod to original poster.
I would suggest that we limit the transfer window to the last year unless there are outstanding examples that should be moved from even earlier into the less popular categories/genres
