Suq - songs that have any youtube video with at most 100k views (all videos each must be <100k)
eb - Song paradoies not done by weird al yankovic
Gad - Songs with clever rhymes or wordplay
And a bonus optional one if anyone wants to send something for IRTM to judge, his category is - Songs by an artist that will be playing within 100 miles of Charlotte, NC this year.
yeah I am in; here is the category I am going with I think:
songs by an artist I have never heard of
How it will work: if I have heard of the artist, it will automatically rank below any of the artists I have not heard regardless of how good it is/how bad the other songs are.
Some helpful hints: I am 25 years old.
Genres I like/know: Electronic (EDM, Chill, House, etc), Rap (mostly newer aged rap tbh), Indie Rock, Alt Rock, Post-hardcore rock
Genres I don't like/know: Country, Classical, Latin, and pretty much anything that would be classified as "oldies" by a 25 year old.
So looking for people to break out some of their lesser known music here. No real way for you to know for sure that I haven't heard of an artist, but you can use the suggestions above to help.
Obviously a trade off. Go with a genre I like = more likely the song does better but more likely I've heard the artist. And vice-versa.
