This means classical is by far the most popular genre there, followed by jazz.
The rest is just peanuts compared to these 2 genres.

The number of threads is easily decipherable. Classical and Jazz fans spend all of their time reading and responding to each other’s post instead of listening. Us Rock folks spend all of our time listening to music (most assuredly to practice our air guitar 🎸 licks)because that is what we do. Blues listeners are just too depressed to make threads after a listening session. World music folks are just spending a lot of time tracking down World music to listen to. The absence of Rap and Hip-Hop is due to the listeners of those genres still learning to read and write using complete words and sentences.

As a classical and jazz poster, I resemble that remark.🤣🤣🤣

https://www.last.fm/tag/bluegrass/artists

greetin's to Across the Pond, any chance around brugge area ?

my thread title should have read , 'the most "active" music genre in the U.S.'
I mentioned i heard a XM Jock sayin' the bluegreass genre is currently the most active. i was surprised at that.. i believe he was referrin' to artists playin'/recordin' this genre not what genre is most popular..
when on that genre stream on XM, you hear alot of new stuff, it's not just the louvin brothers or the late great Ralph Stanley nor flatt and scruggs, lol
my guess for most active genre woulda been Country/Outlaw Country.
the Metal genre is still popular but American metal has been purdy dead for yrs now..so thats a good example of it not bein' the most active

Sturgill is awesome. I think Tyler needs a few years to become a good songwriter, but he’s on the path.
