Opposite experience for me on Qobuz. Start it off on some Dillinger Escape Plan, it'll be playing Judas Priest within about five songs. No no, I'm here for the screaming.

Assigning a genre to a band is fine for those that 'stay in their lanes', but for bands that are a bit borderline genre, experiment a bit or get more (or less) hardcore over time, one label maybe isn't appropriate. I'd like to see something more like "Steam community tagging", where us users can put appropriate tags against each song / album / artist, and then be able to search based on tags. Takes some work to set up, but once it's going it should be relatively low effort for the platform, and lets the metalheads argue amongst themselves who belongs in exactly which genre.
