So it appears that I committed a little too late, and I missed the draw. Luckily, we have over 2 months before the actual event, so we should be able to react. We need a taxonomy that includes 6 categories. We could go with broad categories such as rock, pop, dance, folk, blues, classical, jazz, country, opera, showtunes and world. Or we could go with very specific sub-genres such as avant-garde metal, breakbeat hardcore, freak-folk, gypsybilly, punk jazz and tin pan alley (all of which are included in Wikipedia's comprehensive list of music styles). Whichever way we do it, I think it would be more interesting if we were able to choose the genre we wish to defend, rather than having one thrust upon us.
