Electrohop genre?

edit

Is electrohop a genre? Could we at least do electro and hip hop separate? --24.107.207.98 (talk) 18:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • IMO, we might take that back to cite and attempt normalization – i.e. goes a little something like this (Run DMC – "It's Like That") it – (to WP genre parlance). Not my final opinion, but it seems like an allusion from a floundering reviewer, e.g. didn't have the phrase post-dubstep to hand, which is closer, IMO.
Currently, the electrohop-redirect WP:EASTEREGGs to the head of hip-hop, where the closest coverage seems to be in hip-hop#1980s, where the closest first potential {{Anchor}} might be around around: "During the early 1980s, electro music was fused with elements of the hip hop movement [...]", i.e. stuff between "It's Like That" and Daft Punk's "Harder Better Faster Stronger" Groovy Girl, i.e. the 1st track that comes to my mind, when the word electrohop hits it is Man Parrish - "Hip Hop, Be Bop (Don't Stop)" (1982) (YouTube). Not much like "Team", the track at hand, IMO.
Although, mine may be an over-literal/outdated etymology of the term, which's since moved on.   – Ian, DjScrawl (talk) 22:03, 10 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Piping the electrohop link to electro music and/or hip hop music would be a blatant violation of WP:EASTEREGG and WP:NOTBROKEN. The source reads "Team" is electro hip-hop - personally I think condensing that into electrohop stays truer to the source than splitting into electro and hip hop, but I am open to discussion.
