Are we shifting to numbers now?

131 is the new genre in town. History showed us that bands that invented new music genres and pioneered in it, reached eternal footing. Ray Charles was the first to mix gospel music into mainstream. Pink Floyd created psychedelic music genre. Nirvana started the punk and alternative revolution. 

So is 131 the new dimension of Indie? Is it a way of promoting new bands? Who knows. I thought it was a fault with my player, until i realized this actually is a genre. A number. 


Many bands seems to be falling into this category now. Such as Fiest, The Black keys, Ingrid Michaelson and the likes. Earlier, genres weren't left as an open field, as they could be of any length. So a list of genres was created that could be referenced with a number. 

This is pretty interesting:
