And this goes for LiveVictoria as well.

Why the hell do you have Genre selection when it does fuck all for your selections.

I click to see just Punk/Metal/hardcore show and get shit like Greg Macpherson, who the fuck is he.

Fix the problem it cant be that fucking hard.

Im completely calm actually, thanx for the concern.

However I still cannot figure out why when I select just one genre (that being Punk/Metal/Hardcore I still get other bands come up, right now I have Bob Weisman/Leah Abramsom as the first listing and they are definatly not suppsoed to be in this genre selection. - Mon, 27 Mar 2006 7:21pm Edited: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 7:26pm

The system is only slightly flawed in that the bands get to define what genre they play. I mean, Labels are something others put on you, not something you put on yourself.

Get over it, music is a hard thing to classify because its subjective. Some people would acually label Simple Plan as Punk, when the more educated of us would prefer to label them as crap. Such is life.... - Tue, 28 Mar 2006 9:06am Edited: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 9:14am

There is a considerable difference between Punk/Metal/Hardcore and the likes of Folk music.

I understand your comment Spark but in this case I think the flaw is huge. - Tue, 28 Mar 2006 9:49pm Edited: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 9:52pm

I understand your frustration, but alas there's really nothing we can do about people not listing their stuff in the right genres. All our content is listed by the bands, promoters and venues themselves and we don't have time to weed through and second guess their choice in categorization. If you do see something that seems really wrong, please click the little dropbox icon and leave us a suggestion. - Wed, 12 Apr 2006 1:46pm Edited: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 1:49pm
