I conversely think it's much better that it's made by just one very opinionated person. Sure, one could argue that some stuff is "wrong" but does it really matter when it's all so arbitrary anyway? I'm more interested in Ishkur's take on things than 100% correctness.
FWIW I also don't think artists themselves should be some kind of final arbiters on what genre their music is; "death of the author" and all that. Early italo disco musicians would probably not "correctly" categorize their music as something new and separate from the disco they were trying to emulate, for example.
Anyone should feel free to make "{HN handle's} Guide to Electronic Music"
Ishkur has never been anything but transparent that these are 120% his own opinions. (Mostly ranting about white Europeans ripping off funk rhythms :D)
