What Pony Represents Each Major Music Genre?

Postby Freewave » 14 Jun 2012 08:54

I'm eventually wanting to do a genre section on the bronymusic.com site where people can find artists who specialize in particualar genres. I was thinking that each pony can (by personality) can represent major genres (and would include those images with entries).

Hardcore / Drum & Bass - Dj Pon-3
Trance - Rainbow Dash
House - Rarity
Dubstep - Pinkie Pie
Downtempo / Ambient - Fluttershy
Orchestral - Octavia
Rock / Metal - Big Mac
Acoustic / Country - Applejack
IDM / Complextro - Twilight Sparkle
Hip-Hop - I dunno... Spike?
Jazz... not sure

Wondering if you feel the same or if you have some thoughts of your own... :D

Personally i would consider For my list:

AJ: Country
Big Mac: Folk (tends to be mellow and simple sounding)
Applebloom: Bluegrass
Pinkie Pie: Samba and carnival music (it's extremely animated and its always used in a massive party ambient)
Rainbow Dash: Hard Rock
Gilda: Metal (she's a griffon, a Germanic mythological creature. It's either metal or house and she doesn't look like someone you would see in a rave).
Octavia: Obviously Classical and Orchestra
Rarity: Jazz or Baroque (lots of flair, ornaments and regularly over the top).
Sweetie Belle: Gospel and blues
Scootaloo: Ska (just cuz)
Twilight: Nu-metal (i kid, i just don't know what genre can go with her)
Trixie: Cabaret Music
Fluttershy: New Age, Easy listening and ambient
Celestia: Hymnal and anthem music
Luna: Nocturne (obviously)
Nightmare moon: 80s anime J-Pop

Thanks Trillionage you made me re-evaluate some of my choices on a few i think although I agree that Trance = closest to flying and Dash does that best. Gilda as metal is a better fit.
