Genreification, genrefied
In the late 1970's and early 1980's the course of music was interrupted and misguided by genreification as new styles of music summoned unnecessary terms, unnecessary clothing styles and hairstyles and throngs of music lovers found themselves redefining life to accommodate musical choices.
The genreification of Rock & Roll morphed into many styles of Rock, Metal, and Alternative also including Rock &:Rap...
The metal label is not necessary for numetal since most of the founding bands were all Rock & Rollers. Numetal was genrefied into many subgenres.

Get the Genreification mug.When "urban renewal" of lower class neighbourhoods with condos attracts yuppie tenants, driving up rents and driving out long time, lower income residents. It often begins with influxes of local artists looking for a cheap place to live, giving the neighbourhood a bohemian flair. This hip reputation attracts yuppies who want to live in such an atmosphere, driving out the lower income artists and lower income residents, often ethnic/racial minorities, changing the social character of the neighbourhood.
It also involves the "yuppification" of local businesses; shops catering to yuppie tastes like sushi resaturants, Starbucks, etc... come to replace local businesses displaced by higher rents.
The term was coined by sociologist Ruth Glass, who is quoted below.

The term was coined by sociologist Ruth Glass, who is quoted below.
"One by one, many of the working class quarters of London have been invaded by the middle-classes—upper and lower. Shabby, modest mews and cottages—two rooms up and two down—have been taken over, when their leases have expired, and have become elegant, expensive residences .... Once this process of 'gentrification' starts in a district it goes on rapidly until all or most of the original working-class occupiers are displaced and the whole social character of the district is changed."

Get the Gentrification mug.The process or idea of classifying music, film, literature, or other such mediums into specific genres or categories.
The genrefication of Led Zeppelin's music can sometimes prove difficult because it contains components of blues, rock, metal, and folk music within a single album, and even in the makeup of an individual song.

Get the Gentrification mug.Gentrification is when businesses and homes are built in shitty, run-down neighbourhoods, which means the people who live there will actually have to work for a living if they want to pay the rent instead of beating up and mugging old ladies.
