Hello all. Lately I've wondering about the tag "bubblegum bass". I have no problems with it personally, I think it's a good name for this music but is it fair to tag my MP3s with it? I guess what I'm asking is, is it popular/used/accepted enough to be an official genre tag? This probably seems really stupid and trivial but I'm so OCD about my MP3 tags. Thanks!

no but honestly i try not to have a lot of genres ony my library. i'm still downloading stuff, but when i'm done and get to it, maybe i'll put as "PC Music". i know that's the label's name but, as i said it before, it opens a really wide range of music that you know that goes well together but you can't really call it " bubblegum" (sometimes neither "bass"). take ESIBIZIONISMO REGALE as an example.

Yeah I've found PC Music to be the descriptor of the music, even when not released on the label. It encompasses a wide range of material with a central core. Like how Motown was a genre in the 60s/70s

I don't consider PC Music artists all in the same genre. Hannah Diamond, GFOTY, and Life Sim for instance wouldn't be lumped together if they were on different labels. You could consider it pop (post-pop?) but nothing much more specific than that.
For the general sound I think PC Music works best. As arlo pointed out label-as-genre has been done before. Industrial, Motown, Two Tone, etc.

I tag everything with the "bubblegum bass" sound in iTunes as PC Music.

I created the term and it was literally just a placeholder so PC Music and SOPHIE, Felicita wouldn't get confused when there was no formal connection between them. I'm not a fan and did not expect it to catch on. I don;t like the term at all now  I don't like 'Softcore' simply becausde a lot of the music doesn't strike me as soft (the clue's in the name for Sophie's "Hard") and reminds me of soft rock and "post-ringtone" is  ? and I don't use genres but I'm always looking for better ones |

Simon Whybray coined it and I like it a lot. |

it's not exactly been endorsed officially...
but i think it's ok though? prefer it to "softcore" or "cute" personally. also i've just realised Sophie and Felicita have been tagged as "Electronic" in iTunes, which seems rather vague.

I think genre tags are pretty useless for modern music.
But if we absolutely must have one for Henrik and others - "Bubblegum Bass" is alright.

I think a long time ago I had "Wonky Bass" but that doesn't really fit as that's more of TNGHT's genre. Basspop doesn't work either because that just reminds me of TSwift's I Knew You Were Trouble and Katy B stuff. I can't take anything ending in "core" seriously. Bubblegum bass doesn't sound good together and it confines it a bit too much. I personally like "Futurepop" and that also covers a few other similar, genreless artists like Grimes and Purity Ring

Fisher-Price Grime is my personal favourite thus far.
