Anyone interested in helping get BMD get cleaned up?

I hope people are aware of BMD's genre section.
http://bronymusiciandirectory.blogspot. ... ction.html

One thing that's happened semi-recently is that people are looking for some of those genre pages to be a bit more specific. Rock and metal are pretty "generic" in what songs we feature and the search results for each might not necessarily reflect the best of who "makes X genre". What really might help are those who know parts of the fandom and particular genres well.

So what I'm looking for is if there are any volunteers in helping clean up the genre pages (or anything else) on bmd. Some of the new, revitalized playlists will likely be republished as Fimmusic articles and i can add tags on any BMD profiles where they are missing (so if someone isn't being shown in search results for House or Trance) that they will in the future.

Other aspects of the site I can't do much about. When someone posts a profile submission and then never asks for an update the videos only reflect the past not the current. I update on demand and few people take advantage of any updating of their profile or others. Plenty of people who've left the fandom are archived there (some with only dead links) and that's better then not showing any signs of their former existence.

So I guess most importantly i need help. I'm looking for volunteers if there are any to be found on this site who can help out. Like a lot of people I'm more out of touch with this fandom then when i started and I don't want BMD to reflect that. I want it to be useful and more current. Let me know if you think you can help it out.

I'll be glad to help out, though I'm not sure how much time I have at the moment. I can definitely work with all the rock related genres.

Not until you make an Industrial genre!

JK, I'll be serious now...

I could try helping out a little bit. I'm extremely busy these days, but if I can get just a little bit done I'm sure it's better than nothing, right?

PS, I've updated my profile on BMD. Thanks for bringing that to my attention :)

If I catch any spare time, I'd love to help; I'm not half bad when it comes to listing, organisation, and genre hair-splitting.

Anyway, looking at the guys comments on the genres, I agree it might be good divide rock and metal further, but I disagree with the way he wants to split it. For rock, classic vs hard rock vs alternative is pointless as there is little music difference between those genres, especially within the fandom. Classic rock is not a genre, it's a radio format, by definition no brony music is classic rock. If anything is worth dividing out it would probably be Progressive Rock, though there isn't a lot of that in the fandom. Indie Rock might also be worth sorting out (is Indie Folk currently being listed with Folk?). With metal, I say if anything is worth splitting out it would be metalcore, there is no point in separating out Thrash Metal as there is next to none of that in the fandom and relative the other subgenres it's less distinctive.

thanks for volunteering. i guess if any one of your or any new people want to hit me up skype or via pm here let me know what you think should be changed on a given genre.

PS I really might need to add Industrial (Sombra) at some point....
