Cutback[edit]

We just haven't done so yet because we doesn't know where to start. I don't know everything and probably would keep some things others wouldn't, though I've trimmed some myself. What chart positions you think are worth keeping, as well as any other content you have concerns over? dannymusiceditor Speak up! 17:57, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Vocals on Infobox[edit]

@Statik N: Of course it is exclusive, otherwise it would go against Wikipedia:INFOBOXPURPOSE. Also, on the Template:Infobox music genre, the parameter "instruments" is about the "The types of instruments that are popularly associated with that genre", not the techniques. If we are going to include all notable techniques employed by musicians on such genre, the infobox could be longer than the actual article. So we should be the most concise possible and try to summarize everything we can. The techniques employed by the vocalists are well covered in the article, citing the again on the infobox is unnecessary. Also, if all that techniques are vastly used on the genre, so none of them are notable enough to warrant a appearance on the infobox, only defining characteristics should be there. Techniques are trivial info and go against conciseness. ABC paulista (talk) 22:02, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

If we link the word "vocals", it leads to the singing article. Not all vocals are singing. So I think we shouldn't link the word vocals. Statik N (talk) 22:58, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
@Statik N: I get your point, but kinda disagree. The definition of "singing" is "the act of producing musical sounds with the voice and augments regular speech by the use of sustained tonality, rhythm, and a variety of vocal techniques". Since Rapping, Screaming, Shrieking, Grunting, Growling, etc. are vocal techeniques used in a musical way, they would perfectly fit under the "singing" definition. They are alredy cited on its article. ABC paulista (talk) 00:33, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
Rapping, screaming, growling, etc. often is considered by many a vocal style that isn't singing. To be as neutral as possible, we just shouldn't link vocals. Statik N (talk) 00:37, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Japanese Scene[edit]

The Japanese nu metal scene is notable because it never experienced the decline the western nu metal scene did as the never experienced the same over-saturation and resulting negative stigma America did, and their nu metal bands tended to be more artistically oriented. These bands are also notable for tending to incorporate metalcore into their sound long before American nu metalcore formed as a result of the nu metal revival. Maximum the Hormone and Dir En Grey are particularly notable. I think they deserve some mention, and if not Japan specifically, then some international section.

If you've got the sourcing to verify all that, feel free to add that. Sergecross73 msg me 00:49, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
