[Meta] Can we add a rule to include genres to song links that are posted? (beehaw.org)

I love new music, but I don't follow links to music unless I know I'll like the genre. For anyone that migrated, r/listentothis is my prime example (I don't know if they ever came back online, so I'm unsure if anyone can go back to reference)

Example - title, artist [genre]

Wolves of the Revolution, The Arcadian Wild [folk][bluegrass]

I would not be in favor of this personally. The thing is, a lot of music doesn't fall into a cookie-cutter genre. I wouldn't like the idea of people restraining from posting because they don't know how to classify a piece. Now if it was more of a suggestion I think that would be fine.
