Could you tell me what subgenre of Jazz this is

Image:RahXephon Runnin.ogg is some kind of jazz. But what sub-genre? Is the clip too short to put it in one? I know the obvious answer to my problem is "just call it Jazz", but not all jazz is the same, right?--GunnarRene 17:48, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd just call it "straight-ahead jazz" -- it might be a bit of bebop, but it's hard to tell from the clip. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 18:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. I needed a second opinion. You see, composer does experimental Jazz too. So if I was not 100% sure if I had on my hands a distincition between mainstream and experimental or experimental and super-experimental. :-) --GunnarRene 00:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, we do need a bit more of a sample. Just that one part appeared to be a combo breaking from a melody into a solo. It kinda depends where it goes next; if it goes into wild screechland, it's less likely straight-ahead. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 16:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is bubblegum dance a subgenre of dance/electronic or of pop/bubblegum pop?--Technofreak90 19:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea what "bubblegum dance" is, but sorting music according to specific genre classification often gets muddled... 惑乱分からん 20:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bubblegum dance is (supposedly) a real genre containing artists that are alot like Aqua. There is a whole website for it, the link is on the wiki for Bubblegum dance.--Technofreak90 21:16, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
