I played trombone and sang in a ska band and played bass in a folk punk band. I honestly don’t want to look our bandcamp up but here’s some cringe pictures
Yeah, I know there is more to hip-hop than just rap, I just wouldn't say all of those genres I listed are encompassed by hip-hop, it certainly takes inspiration from many of them and vice versa. I mean jazz pre-dates hip-hop and many of the artists listed would never be called hip-hop artists. None of the top 5 artists are hip-hop artists so it's surprising that the top genre is hip-hop, I guess 2 of the top songs are but still.
Trying to draw the line on music genres is kind of ridiculous in general imo, the number of sub-genres tends to get so specific that you can end up getting lost in it all. It's good for categorization I guess, but just pigeonholes artists into a box that doesn't usually describe a lot of the music they produce.
I realize this is just me rambling about genres now, in the past I was pretty interested in the history of modern music genres, especially their initial formation.
