Calling All Metalheads (and IQ Junkies)
|
|
(Apologies in advance for the lengthy post – I can’t help it. There’s a TL;DR at the end though…)
It’s no secret that metal is the underdog genre here on Genius. People mostly turn their attention to rap and pop, with metal only surfacing on very rare occasions.
A few days ago, I realized just how bad it really is. Even some of the most popular and influential metal bands have missing or incorrect metadata and/or lyrics, not to mention missing album artwork, incorrect track listings… the list goes on and on. The only example I’ve found where all the metadata was in great shape was Metallica – which is not really surprising. Hell, even Black Sabbath could use some work.
Coincidentally, I’ve been getting a few notifications over the past week or so of people editing metadata for metal songs. I see you @CRJ2 @BuhHromu @zersorger. This served as the catalyst to finally make this thread – I’ve been wanting to call attention to this topic for a long time.
