It was aimed at anyone who feels that people won't abuse music genres in the same way they abuse content categories (action/drama/fun/etc).

Yeah but not everyone abuses content categories. Not many people. And when they do, it's so ridiculously obvious and therefore easily looked over. If I see a vid with every category I'll most likely laugh at it. It's rare when you find a vid that can have every type. It's the same way with music except that it's harder to categorize in the first place.

And also, the newbs won't use original music (most likely) and so they are easy to filter out. Sure they show up in the results but that's not much of a problem. And I think the point is to find music that you might like but haven't heard? Well I'm not really for or against I'm just stating my opinion.

why can't the creator have at least the option to select the genre of the music. Not be forced, but it can be the creators's own fault for putting Danzig song in a New age genre. That way nobody get's pegion holed. There is so many amvs, that there needs to be some sort of generazations, otherwise it will be just impossible to find anything. Maybe create a field in which the the search can peer into so if a creater could put their amv into more than one genre by just using a comma (kinda like a meta tag) (ie. rock, classic rock, 80s ) i really think it is imperitive for something like this to be incorpaerated into the search given the rate of new amvs being introduced which is bad for the newbie amv creater because the process is still ineffecient. becuse our current setup compels people to follow word of mouth or luck to find videos it seems inevitable for someone's amv to get lost in the shuffle of videos. I really think this topic is worthey of further exploration.
