Genre Tourist

A person that uses certain genres of music in a tokenism sorta way and to look cool rather than actually liking the genre of music. typically this sorta thing happens with metal music. Bands that fall under the Genre Tourist label are: Blood Incantation, Nails, Skinless, Cannibal Corpse, Sanguisugabogg, Bloodbath, etc. keep in mind there's nothing particularly wrong with listening to these bands, but some people choose to listen to them to seem cool.

a very notorious genre tourist is Anthony Fantano.

genrelise

Inventing excessive, ridiculous and unnecessary sub-genres, cross-genres and meta-genres to describe a style of music, your personal taste in music or the music of a specific artist. Particularly prevalent in the fields of electronic dance music and extreme metal.

DJ: "I play kind of hyped-up progressive deep house with a kind of minimal/fidget flavour to it"
Everyone else: "Don't fucking genrelise mate"

Metaller: "I'm really into Nordic folk-deathcore and symphonic black grindcore the moment"
Everyone else: "Yeah? Great. So you like metal, right?"

Music journalist: "Have you heard of Aquacrunk? It's the new big thing from Glasgow. Everyone's talking about it"
Everyone else: "Aquacrunk? Are you fucking joking? Get a life mate."
