(http://www.kaosradio.org) we have an ever-changing variety of categories,
which regularly fail to contain the genre-bending music we get, but are
nonetheless crucial to our organization. I now share our system with the
world, as far as I can reproduce it from memory:
popular and classical. (And we do have a Hawaiian sub-category)

example) stays in the World category.

e our system with the world, as far as I can reproduce it from memory:<BR>
<BR>
<B>World </B>– includes (mostly non-English) ethnic music from all ov=
er, sacred, popular and classical. (And we do have a Hawaiian sub-category)<=
BR>
<B>Reggae </B>– okay, not all ethnic music gets lumped into World. We=
have a few exceptions. <BR>
<B>Latin </B>– includes Tejano, Tex-Mex, and other pop music, mostly =
by male groups in matching cowboy hats. More traditional Latin music (Susana=
Baca, for example) stays in the World category.<BR>
<B>Alt. Latin </B>– Rock en Espanol, Hiphop en Espanol (Orishas), etc=
.<BR>
<B>New Age</B> – instrumentals, chants, and other music that doesn=
217;t have enough roots to be World or Celtic, or enough twang to be FCB <BR=
>
<B>Celtic </B>– But not Salsa Celtica or Hevia – they go in Wor=
ld<BR>
<B>FCB </B>– Folk, Country, and Bluegrass. Another very broad categor=
y.<BR>
<B>Electronica </B>– used to be called RITA (Rave, Industrial, Techno=
, Ambient). Includes dance, chill, and other electronic forms. <BR>
<B>Experimental </B>– music I don’t understand.<BR>
<B>Blues </B>– <BR>
<B>Soul & Funk </B>- <BR>
<B>Jazz </B>- <BR>
<B>Childrens </B>– music marketed/labeled for children, not just stuf=
f we consider infantile.<BR>
<B>Soundtracks </B>– of all musical genres. <BR>
<B>Hiphop </B>– used to call this Rap, but that’s so 1980s.<BR>
<B>Rock – </B>another huge section, mostly alternative rock here at K=
AOS. <BR>
<B>Loud Rock </B>– like rock, only less alternative and more louder<B=
R>
<B>Spoken Word </B>- <BR>
<B>Classical </B>- <BR>
<BR>
I’m sure I’ve omitted some crucial category, but that’s a=
ll I can think of right now. It will continue to be a work in progress....<B=
