Reckon the genres are waves to be ridden, bandwagons to be jumped on etc. Wish they had some sort of meta tagging on all the tracks, so a track could be in ‘Indie Dance’ but also then be searchable by tags such as acid / 303 / energetic / laid back / vocal / moody / uplifting etc.

Agreed and I think it’s also an issue of visibility. Digging through Indie Dance I found quite a few breakbeat tracks. But they don’t want that tag as I doubt many people even bother looking at that genre. The line between Leftfield House, Electro, and Breaks is often also marginal at best. I guess one is “cool” whereas the other is “not.”
Seen some stuff tagged “Juke / Footwork” on Beatport recently. It sounds like music for wankers.
That’s Dave’s favourite genre on Beatport.
Lol. KPop-step is Dave’s fave.
Didn’t realise there were so many!
Organic house lol!
vegan house next

The Horror. The Horror. Great work, glad you survived.
I would have ranked Deep House higher but it’s based on the top 10 alone.
sbando ranked Deep House higher
Yeah as a “genre” (as loose as that seems to be) it’s right up there for me personally. But the Top 10 is just so boring. The likes of Terry Lee Brown Jr., Circulation, Timewriter, Larry Heard, DJ Qu, et cetera, are nowhere to be found.
Ed’s is “Big Room” for sure. Shirts off.
Wrecking ball / Peak time POWER Prog is my genre du choix.
lol
Would’ve been funnier with the correct url pal!
jonattonyeah Hard Techno
This was Trance in 1999
I’ve been pointing this out to you guys for aaages, but you’re now all too busy sat in your armchairs tapping your slippers to 126bpm snooze-fests.

Sshhh…
Dammit!
Hey I put Organic House and its 126 BPM bore-a-than at #18. I consider myself in the know.
Is organic house the burridge style ploddy plinky plonky nonsense?
Yes,
