I know a lot of people mod songs not by priority nor by requests, but by genre and language since they prefer said genre and language.

And since lots of people won't put the genre and language in Tags, because BATs automatically do it when they rank a map, these people have to search for the maps manually.

With this, they can basically use the search feature in Beatmaps to find these maps with the genre they like to mod for convenience.

BAT's are robots.

I agree that genre and language should be a part of the mapper's responsibilities, just like tagging.

Would make things easier for everyone; especially when a mistake is made and then the options have to be set a second (or third) time. :X

It's always been the mapper's responsibility specially when the BAT asks you "what genre / language is this?" so this should get that fixed =3

I always thought "why should BATs only have the right to do so?" doesn't really make much sense.
If it gets abused, mistakes or whatever reason why it's like what is it now, that's what modding is for

Also agree with MM201 on the titlecard timing/color and original artist

That akward moment where you see a ranked map with (Unspecified - Other) for Genre - Language.

That awkward moment when someone tells you that the language you set for the map you just ranked is incorrect.

This seriously needs to happen. I would love to not have to slog through pages of Vocaloid and Touhou songs in Pending to find something in English.

Related to this, I'd like a remade genre list.... Having, for example, any kind of electronic music being thrown into "Techno" is silly.
I mean if this and that are considered the same, filtering by genre is pretty pointless. :?

Support, IF there is a good pre-set list of genres.

Otherwise loads of custom genres will pop up.

Would it help if we just changed the genre's name to "Electronic"?

On a side note, why should genres such as "Video Game" and "Anime" even exist?
Not all songs from video games/anime have the same rythm or are even similiar, just take a look.

I can't fathom why the Genre/Language was the BAT's responsibility rather than the mappers. I'm sure there was a reason behind it but I can't think of what it is.

I definately support this.

That would be more correct, but naturally still as useless for searching ;)

Almost a month and 4 pages worth of unanimous support and not a peep from Peppy? This is a really good idea.

Hmm...

Set "video-game" as genre is totally incorrect. Just because the music is being used in a game, doesn't mean it's genre is "video-game". Same with touhou, anime, etc.

Most songs i saw with that genre is eletronic...

And further more, a music genre is a categorical and typological construct that identifies musical sounds as belonging to a particular category and type of music that can be distinguished from other types of music.

Genre it's obviously being selected wrong due to ignorance.


The correct genres:

Anime Music Video (AMV)

Music used in AMVs is extremely diverse, using such genres as J-Pop, rock, hip hop, pop, R&B, country, and many others.

So, i think instead of let mappers choose the genre, BATs should pick it a lot more carrefully. Also, delete nonexistent genre types, and add more existent genre types.
