Genre[edit]

Someone can listen to the album and listen if it's "Hard Rock" or not Moonlightfocus (talk) 05:15, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Moonlightfocus you don't tell album genre by listening to it. You need reliable sources, see WP:EXPLICITGENRE >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 21:30, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Genre Sources[edit]

Our guide and rules on genre are at WP:EXPLICITGENRE and state "When classifying music, sources must explicitly attribute the genre to the work or artist as a whole." This means that a whole body of work must be described as that genre rather than specific songs. In respect to Holy Fvuk, the following is said about genres:

The Intendent called Holy Fvuk "A hard rock, horny rebirth album"
Glamour said "Holy Fvck, Demi Lovato’s new music, is a definite break from her pop R&B past. And ‘Holy Fvck’ does Demi’s new album- her 8th studio album - released today - leave you really quite exhausted, but in a really good way. It’s powerful, chaotic, full-on, full-throttle head-banging, smashing things up, angsty pop punk"
Billboard said "Blending together pop-punk, metal, and various rocks ranging from glam- to prog-" - glam referring to glamrock and prog referring to progressing rock.

I've highlighted in red so that you can easily see the genres and how they've been described. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 21:30, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
