MusicBrainz genres 2.x (338 genres for free!)

Following the comments in that post I have updated and pruned the list.
I also removed all classical genres from it and will post those in a separate topic.

Here are my comments on some comments in that post:

Gamelan

“Gamelan is the traditional ensemble music of the Javanese, Sundanese, and Balinese peoples of Indonesia”
That seems to qualify it as a genre.

Merseybeat

https://rateyourmusic.com/genre/merseybeat
“Merseybeat is a light, highly melodic style of Beat Music”
So it’s a form of beat music with a distinct sound/composition style. That seems to qualify it as a genre on it’s own.

Mizrahi music

quote: “certainly legitimate but nobody seems to agree on what to call it”
Other names that I found were:
Oriental jewish music
Mizrahi jewish music
Eastern jewish music

Since mizrahi only means ‘eastern’, perhaps ‘Mizrahi jewish’ is better.
I replaced it accordingly.

Tex-mex

As I understand it, Tejano is folk oriented, and Tex-mex is rock oriented.
That makes their sound distinguishable.
If so, it qualifies as a separate genre.

Zolo

It seems valid to have some doubts on this one.
But besides RYM having 1299 releases being tagged as zolo, I see there are also releases in MusicBrainz’ database that are tagged with zolo.

So I’ve left it in the list for now.
