Look at the following.
All music genres are marketing terms mostly made up by record labels. The labels are the ones selling the records. The term "rhythm & blues" exists because one of the founders of Atlantic Records did not like the previous term for music by Black artists which was "race music". "Country & Western" was originally called "hillbilly". Black Sabbath & Led Zeppelin did not call their music "heavy metal", it was rock magazines years later. Miles Davis & Nina Simone have said that the word "jazz" is racist. Nina called it "Black classical music". "Rock n roll" was Black American slang for sex, long before the music was called that. Technically, the music "rock n roll" was originally just R&B by white artists, same as the later "blue eyed soul" & "white reggae". Elvis Presley's music & singing style was no different from Jackie Wilson & Roy Hamilton. But Jackie & Roy were labeled R&B or "soul" and Elvis is "The King Of Rock n Roll". At one time there was an "easy listening" radio format/chart, which was later changed to "adult contemporary". If you look at Billboard magazine since it began in the 1800s, the same charts were called different things thoughout the years.
Tbf, HMV in the UK used to have a section called 'Dance'. I think now it's 'Dance & Electronic' but it definitely used to be just dance. Although I agree most terms are made up by the record industry - or sometimes the music press.
More like the continuing steady decline and diminish of physical media sales. Though obviously certain sectors stopped listening to MJ, or better still, kept listening, ironically. Like so many seem to today.
Basically, the point of giving music any label is so that other people know what you're talking about. If nobody has heard of it, you've missed the point, as with "new jack swing". You've just gotta trust me on this - it's not a thing.
Um, never heard of it. Sounds like nonsense. Again: just stick to the dozen mainstream genres. That is, you're gonna have to if you want people to understand you.
That sounds like a you problem.
Nobody ever said it was.
It's a fusion genre. It was an aesthetic like the "Minneapolis Sound", and the Beatles classic style. Of course people have heard of it.
There is way more than 10 genres, sub-genres, etc.
Nobody knows this stuff. When I think of Minneapolis, the only thing I can think of is In Utero. And I'm positive you're not talking about that.
Yeah, read the wiki link I posted above.
According to that poster all of these are the same exact thing:
When people have to write a research paper for school, they all go to Wiki and copy what is there. Before the internet, people didn't know anything because Wiki didn't exist yet.
But did you read the list? It's the same as the list you'll find in Winamp, iTunes or other MP3 player.When people have to write a research paper for school, they all go to Wiki and copy what is there. Before the internet, people didn't know anything because Wiki didn't exist yet.
I'm sure if you actually read Billboard magazine, you'll find mentions of New Jack Swing and all kinds of other music. Billboard does not only have music charts, it has articles about music industry people and not just the performers either. Even Rolling Stone magazine mentions NJS. The Grammys? They have little or no categories for non-western based music. I guess all of the different ethic music all over the world does not exist because the Grammys say so. The Grammy TV broadcast only show the mainstream popular artists, the majority of the awards for other categories are given off-camera. The Grammys has an entire separate awards show Latin Grammys for Spanish music artists in the USA.
"One" producer, and also Jam and Lewis and Bernard Belle. And literally everyone making R&B in the 80s & 90s.
If you don't think of Vintage Prince you actually don't know much of anything.
Here are some Grammy Award categories for New Jack Swing:Look at the following.

None of these have any trace of the so-called "new jack swing". Because it's not a real genre, it's just a marketing term.
Except again, it was coined by a journalist in 1987. Stop making nonsense up, please.
So it's R&B... It's just R&B... Those people were making R&B. That's why everybody calls it R&B...
I didn't check. Did you?
Was this some sort of knowledge check? Smh. Again, you're complicating the conversation for no reason.
So... you mean... R&B? I just feel like we're going round in circles for no reason. My time is too valuable for this.
New Jack Swings qualities as R&B, R&B does not qualify as New Jack Swing. Same for hip hop. It's not hard to fathom.
