      please add the following 4,854 genres.

      I scripted a query against all metabrainz artists with with no genres (40K+) and ran it against spotify artists yielding these results. Please let me know if you prefer that I include artist IDs so that you can also map the genres to said artists.

          I add genres by hand and I'm certainly not going to add four thousand genres from a spreadsheet, especially since they come from Spotify (which makes up descriptors for things it wants to join and calls them genres). "african shoegaze" and "albany ny indie" are not really genres, sorry.

          I'm sure there's plenty of valid genres in there as well, and I'll be happy to consider any you actually have a need for if you add one ticket per genre, with some info about the genre (Wikipedia, Rate Your Music or other sources, at least). Thanks!
