Well, that's what I'm talking about - the wide net of the term exotica. That's why I don't really understand the need for the 'jungle' and the 'tiki' distinction. It's all exotica to me. Just as I don't get the dif between all of those alleged sub-genres of metal, or techno. Like when I was a kid, it was all New Wave. What the hell's the dif between "chillwave,' 'dark wave,' 'minimal synth' etc? (Don't answer that, I'm being rhetorical!)

(Oh, and much thanks for that article, and the Stan Kenton tip)

I also find the Sub Genre & Sub,Sub Genre labels baffling, how many kinds of "Metal" are they?

Slow Metal,Speed Metal,Thrash Metal,Progressive Metal,Black Metal,Death Metal,Grindcore,Doom Metal,Folk Metal
Melodic Death Metal,Nu Metal,Metalcore,Gothic Metal,Post-Metal,Stoner Metal,Hardcore,Mathcore,Ambient Black Metal
Deathcore,Groove Metal,Brutal Death Metal,Industrial Metal,Alternative Metal,Post-Hardcore,Power Metal
Sludge Metal,Thrash Metal,Symphonic Metal,Technical Death Metal,Modern Melodic Death Metal & Heavy Metal!

I saw all these labels in a local record store
WTF! & I hate METAL, but that's just me, I even saw "Folk Punk" what an oxymoron! (now I am angry!)
one cancels the other out! this cannot exist, I need my meds!

Damn you Lucas! I blame you for this! you damn dirty Ape! No Hope! there is no hope...... :)

Edited for excessive ranting and also to remove some drool.
