      In MB, in the tag section, we currently display:

      Genres (none)
      Other tags (none)
      [                              ][tag]

      It seems some users misinterpret this as the tag box only being for new 'tags' (because it is under that heading and has tag written on the button), not to add 'genres'. Perhaps we could improve this display/design.

      See related user comment/reply from Reddit:

      "So I see the "Other Tags" field, but it's not very intuitive as there's a "Genres (none)" heading above that. I feel that I don't want to add "Other Tags" I want to add "Genres". What are "other tags" for? Why hasn't Genres got a little text box for me to add genres to but the "Other Tags" has a little field? Doesn't make sense to me. As a new user I don't want to add "Other Tags" (whatever they might be) I want to add "Genres". Seems a bit weird that I can't choose from a selection of preterdermined genres."
