I played Mate. The other one is called Carnival, which I find to be a much better game.

And "guitar" music grouped together as a genre is pretty much the same thing as "piano" or "synth" music grouped together, waaaay too broad.

dBu is as similar to SSH to me as Sharpnel is to MOSAIC.

+1, dBu =/= SSH, Sharpnel =/= MOSAIC.

i could go off all about different 80s hard rock bands and how they're all different... but to some of you guys, you'd say "they're all the same!" we all have special passions and love in our hearts for the specific type of music we like best. but nobody else gives a **** and lumps them all together.

we have a few main groups of music on FFR... japanese-based music (anime and touhou remixes, mostly). indie techno/electronic music. arcade remixes (some of the japanese-based music would also fall in this category). rock music (emo, hardcore, alternative, metal, etc). and then maybe classical, but that's a lot smaller than the others. then everything else.

and, what do ya know... what are the types of music our userbase likes the best? *gasp* the ones listed above! and, many times, the group of users who like 1 group of music don't like the others. it's really how amazing things can be when we simplify it.

Yes, quite. The only thing we can do about it is to be as open-minded as you are.

Oh geez, I'm such a negative nancy.

I don't not like Touhou music, and I don't like the idea of cutting music. However, I am getting tired of dBu Touhou in FFR, how it's currently being used.

Finally, I want to know some of these "styles" that these songs have been getting. Describe the following:

Touhou 1/2 (wtf is 2, vs 1 lol) (Yes both Kil Stage and Glove Sweden is by Kil... and?)
Jpop Plus (Plus... what) (Love Cheat, Mate, Radio, and the like should all be akiba-pop anyway)
Theme (however much broader can this get in respect to what it could mean)
Sexy (Hadazamui Rittou) (exactly how or why)

There were some others, but I forgot them.
