And worse, considering the other options available, it actually makes sense.

I kind of want to make a thread for that. What's worse is that we still have Funk with a grand total of (drumroll...) seven funk songs, and then a bunch of jazz when jazz is in no way a sub-genre or even related to funk. I guess it's because there were like six funk Synthlight files right at the start of FFR.

A more useful categorization for FFR might look something like this:

Rock, Dance (EDM and pop), Other electronic (non-dance e.g. breakcore, idm, downtempo, etc), Classical & Orchestral (currently some orchestral is in Other and some is in Classical), Hip Hop, Bit Music & Chiptune (not "Arcade" because game arrangements are currently split between here and their actual genre e.g. rock arrangements), Jazz, Other

Unfortunately electronic (including EDM) might be even better further-subdivided since the game is so concentrated with it.
