A Genre Justice Warrior (GJW for short) is a mentally challenged person that, in his quest to force diversity and quality discussion on a certain website's musical community, only brings things down even further.
His rhetoric is based entirely on anti-rockist sentiment: all genres are equal and rock is no different. In his quest to achieve musical diversity he brings down rock music's historical achievements; the GJW refuses to accept the fact that rock music has been the dominant and most popular music genre in the past 70 years, that rock music has been the one to set the standards for all of modern music to come.
The GJW despises the umbrella label "electronic music", wanting people to use the niche subgenre names instead. He refuses to accept the fact that electronic music simply lacks the stylistic diversity of rock music, and that electronic music has NEVER been as impactful on popular music as rock music has been in the past half a century.
The GJW despises the album format, calling it a vile creation of the capitalist rockist society, and calls for all non-rock listening music fans to abandon the album format completely in favor of singles and expanded plays. He ignores the fact that by doing so, he destroys jazz threads since those won't be able to talk about anything but jazz bootlegs and 1920's dixie land singles, he annihilates classical generals since those won't be anything but composition generals. He implies that electronic music is a non-album genre, by treating all electronic music as rave music and disregarding the plethora of electronic music genres that do rely on the album format. The GJW hence ironically enough becomes a rockist himself, the only difference being that he forces a bleepist standard of music appreciation instead of a rock music one.

The GJW promotes diversity, but doesn't promote actual quality content: it is why you see multiple niche genre threads started by the GJW in which he spams genre charts and copypastas, but fails to do something, anything, of actual value, to ignite actual interesting discussion.
The GJW forces people to listen to "elite" music such as the avant-garde and various traditional world musics for the sake of diversity, but doesn't ask people to think of the music they are listening to. The end result of his actions is the /daily/ general: a community of people listening to traditional music whilst ignoring the socio-cultural context, a community of people listening to the avant-garde without applying a single bit of musical analysis to the process. A community of people treating music like fashion, a community of teenagers degrading historical and artistic artefacts to nothing more than memes. And yet, despite creating the monstrosity that is the /daily/ general, the GJW doesn't stop: not until the whole board is one huge poseur circlejerk shall the GJW lay down to rest.
The GJW lives in a world of his own, and refuses to listen to anyone that tries to change his ways, which is why it is pointless to argue him; it's for the best if people not reply to his threads but filter him and his pastas completely. But most important of all is that people don't fall pray to his autism.

Rock music was dominant from 1960 - 1995, at best.
Stop living in the past.

okay kid listen to melt banana then listen to Ride and tell me if they sound similar enough that normies could easily listen to both interchangably

what do you think about my dualist system?
I think that the traditional trichotomy of folk music, art music and popular music is not good enough, since popular music is always derived from art or folk (or both). I have only two categories: Polar music and Equatorial music.
Polar music: Classical, Rock, Metal, Punk, Prog, Avant-garde, Contemporary "folk", singer/songwirter, etc
Equatorial music: Jazz, R&B, Hip-Hop, Electronic, Funk, Soul, Sub-Saharan folk music, Plunderphonics, etc
