This section (started by zatesxuc) discusses the lojbanization of music genres.

Firstly, here is a list of gismu & rafsi from which the categorical lujvo can be made up. (The asterisks indicate questionable concepts.)

seltarmi (the physical form in which the music is performed) - pa/pav (solo) - bende/bed/be'e (group/band) bende may be modified with barda/cmalu e.g. barbe'e (Orchestra).

tadji (the method by which the music is realized) - skami/sam (computer) - zmiku/zmi (automation) - sazri/saz (operate) - *dikca/dic (electric) - *rarna/rar (natural) - dikni/dik (regular/loop) - fukpi/fuk/fu'i (copy/sampling) - jbera/jer (borrow/sampling) - *crepu/rep (harvest/collage) - rimni/rim (rhyme/*rap) - voksa/vok/vo'a - gidva/gid/gi'a (conducted) - cipra/cip (experimental) The use of "electricity" may not necessarily be as typifying a feature as normally conceived; such genres like "Electro/Electronic/Electronica/SynthPop" should be associated rather with "computer" or "automation". Also "naturality" as an opposing term is quite risky since every form of music involves things which are intentional/arbitrary anyway. voksa may be modified with na, meaning "instrumental".

teirmo'a (the temporal characteristics with which the music manifests) - masno/sno (slow) - sutra/sut (fast) - cenba/cne (varying) - rirci (rare/unusual) "Varying" and "rare" are about time signatures.

snate'u (the sonant texture of the music) - curve/cuv (pure/acoustic) - galfi//gaf/ga'i (modified) - xutla/xul (smooth) - rufsu/ruf (rough) - cladu/lau (loud) - smaji/sma (quiet) - milxe/mli (mild) - carmi/cam/cai (intense/saturated) - kandi/kad (dim) - *denmi/dem (dense) - *caxno/cax (shallow) - sampu/sap (simple) - *senta/set (layered) - pluja/puk/pu'a (complex) - *kalsa/kas (chaotic) - *savru/sav/vru (noise) denmi or senta may metaphorically be associated with the "wall of sound" as found in e.g. Shoegazer.

drata - pante/pat (protest/*punk) - fengu/feg/fe'u (angry) - *fenki/fek (frenzy) - *mabla/mal (derogative) - *kelci/kel/kei (play/pop) - *kufra/kuf (comfort) - *surla/sur (relax) - dunku/duk/du'u (anguish) - cinse/cin (sexual) - lijda/jda (religious) - citri/cir (historical) - purci/pur/pru (past) - diklo/klo (regional) - *nurma/num (rural) - *tcadu/tca (city) - tcaci/cac (custom/traditional) - *kampu/kau (common/pop) - *cecmu/cem/ce'u (community/pop) - cizra/ciz (strange) - *rirci (rare) - *basti/bas (alternative) - ritli/ri'i (rite/party) - dansu (dance) - skina/kin (cinema) - mixre/mix/xre (mixture) Whether a music sounds crazy or disagreeable or comfortable or relaxing is pretty much a subjective matter.
