Song genre

[edit]

Starting discussion about the song's genre. The source from Vulture provided by Carbrera does not support the use of "synth" or "funk" as genres. It simply says "she says of her marriage, over some synths, a funky bassline, and well-placed hand claps to disguise the pain." Containing those elements does not make the song that genre. Somethin101 gave two sources, EW and InStyle. InStyle and EW both say the exact same thing: "The upbeat, synth-assisted “Misery” follows previous... with no mention of pop. That's as bad as the Vulture source. Please avoid doing WP:SYNTH when sourcing the genre of the song. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 23:50, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

PS, I don't know about music, but sources in infoboxes are okay if not encouraged for genre info on television shows. I don't know of any guidelines saying not to put sources in infoboxes, but if there is one, let me know. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 23:52, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
