Posi Music Genre

From Wikipedia:
Posi music (pronounced pah-zee) has been around since the 1940s, though only recently has a definitive label been applied to music in this genre. Short for Positive Music, Posi Music is categorized by its intention to have a positive effect on the listener. Musicians who write and perform Posi Music profess a desire for their music to unite and inspire their audience and make them feel better. One of the earliest 100% Positive Songs was Accentuate The Positive written by Johnny Mercer and made famous by Bing Crosby. That same song also defined the concept that there is indeed polarity between being Positive or being Negative, specifically noting there is also no Neutral as in "no more Mr. In-Between".

This concept has been expanded by groups promoting the education of Posi Music, such as the Positive Music Association, emPower Music and Arts and the Positive Music Imperative. This concept of Positive Music and Negative music has also been identified in the book called A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle
Song Examples from the Posi Music Genre:
"Change The World" by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
"We Shall Overcome" by Pete Seger
"If I Had A Hammer" by Peter Paul & Mary
"You've Got A Friend" by James Taylor
"Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkel

emo (sub-genre)

A genre of music that can be traced back to the Washington DC punk scene in the mid 80s. Many bands who do not claim to be influenced by this genre are pegged as emo because of its vague definition and negative stereotype. (see emo or emo (adjective)) Modern day bands that are tagged as emo (MCR Fall out Boy etc) deny relation to the original genre, but in the opinion of many have similar music/ play the stereotype well.
Bands form the original emo (sub-genre)include "The Promise Ring" "Rites Of Spring" "Boy's Life"

genre

How films are categorised in movie rental places.

A grouping based on shared similar characteristics.

In theory genre exists for convenience, allowing people to identify broad groups without having to name specific titles from within the group.

In other words, you can decide on a film to rent without having to go through reading the back of each and every box.

Often however there are discrepancies with the categorisations, particularly as the boundaries between genres can be quite fluid. In practice this means genre categories can be less than helpful.

The term also applies to other media such as music, books, theatre and art.
Examples of film genres could include: Action, Comedy, Drama, Romance, Kids, Horror, Science Fiction.
