New genres to describe musical acts

Here's my own genres I coined to describe musical acts: • The Smashing Pumpkins - Alternative pop with a twist of dream pop and alternative metal. • Red Hot Chili Peppers - Alternative hard funk with a hint of rap, metal and punk rock. • Pearl Jam - Soft grunge • Nirvana - Grungecore • Garbage - Synth-grunge • No Doubt - New Pop Wave • Evanescence - Gothic pop with a hint of nu metal. • U2 - Alternative rock with soft melodic parts. • Foo Fighters - Nu grunge • The Killers - Post-New Wave • Lenny Kravitz - Alternative hard rock • Paramore - Emowave with a hint of pop grunge • R.E.M. - Alternative pop. • Aerosmith - Pop metal with a twist of blues • My Chemical Romance - New punk

Hop rock

Hop rock is a subgenre of rock music combining the effects of hard rock and pop. It has developed into glam/pop metal in the late 1970s to the early 1980s and had high popularity during that period. However, like glam metal, it was declined during the grunge era, but has since increased during the 2000s.

RHCP 30

We all heard that Blur is going to release their 21-disc box set titled Blur 21 in the end of July 2012. However, I have an idea that the Red Hot Chili Peppers could release a boxset to mark their 30th anniversary in 2013. The box set would be titled RHCP 30 . It would consist of 30 discs, hence the name of boxset, containing of: 11 albums 11 discs of bonus material containing remixes, live performances, B-sides, rarities and outtakes 4 discs of music videos 4 discs of live videos and performances For the extended list of songs see Here's my possible track listing: Disc 1: The Red Hot Chili Peppers (1984) "True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" "Baby Appeal" "Buckle Down" "Get Up and Jump" "Why Don't You Love Me" "Green Heaven" "Mommy, Where's Daddy?" "Out in L.A." "Police Helicopter" "You Always Sing the Same" "Grand Pappy Du Plenty" Disc 2: The Red Hot Chili Peppers

Plaice (pronouced "place") is an Portuguese-American rock band formed in 1992 in Los Angeles, California by lead singer Vanessa Marcos and guitarist Jack Klein. The band has had several line-ups, with Marcos and Klein being the only founding members to appear in every line-up. They are best known for fusing pop rock with various genres and has been labelled the first hop rock band in 1998 by Cartoon Network as hop rock is a combination of pop rock and hard rock. However, Plaice said that Kiss were the first hop rock band with their 1980 album Unmasked .
