Now, I've always thought that hitsounds should be different depending on what song genre the song you're mapping is. For example, Uta shouldn't have the same hitsounds as Make A Move (sped up ver.), it just doesn't make sense, mostly because the hitsounds play a part in the feel of a map.

So here is my question: what type of hitsounds would you use for different genres?

I tend to use the same kind of hitsound across every map, but if I have to change something, most probably will be clap sounds. 60% of maps I use metal clap sounds, but sometimes I use normal clap sounds as well if it fits more.

Second would be finished sound. Drummish finish sound/Cymbals are what I will think of first, but I will change to a dramatic sound or a loud cheer if the song supports it.

Finally it would be hitnormal. Default soft-hitnormal/drum-hitnormal or similar will be used in calm sections and vice versa, loud ones will be used in loud sections.

Okay, time to focus on the main topic here:

Rock/Metal music will have aggresive hitsounds.

Ballad will use calm hitsounds.

Electronic is where it gets opiniated. For songs made by like Camellia, I will choose something intense, but if the songs gives Iglooghost-ish vibes, I tend to use something more childish and calm.
