Reply to comment by PiggyBank32 in Is it possible to create your own musical genre? by OGMurda

Okay I get your point dude. But to what genre will you attribute white noise with indistinct melodies in the background and screaming like a chimpanzee vocals that are impossible to listen to. What genre does that music at least come close to? But people call it music you know. I myself think that "genre" is an offshoot of music that a group of people like, and dont care what is dat "music" sounds lıke. That's all.

Heh trruuu. To answer you though, genres only have utility if theyre popular enough for the fan base or general public to give them a name. This isnt unprecedented. Look at the history of grunge for instance. Kurt Cobain paved his own lane and enough people wanted to give that music its own identity that it became grunge. If a new and different sound comes up but not enough people follow it or too few people think it deserves it's own name, i dont think itll get a name. If a famus person made an album of white noise and screaming, i dont think anyone will name it. If they do, itll likely just be called "abstract music" or something like that and in that genre there will be a lot of unrelated types of music that also never got a following
