Garage rock

Hello,

Regarding the edit of this being added wouldn't it make sense this genre be added in this page considering it aligns with the sound and production that comes along with it. There's no point of finding a source, as half of the songs here (Side Two and the title track), are garage rock songs, and the same can be said with the other genres as not all songs are Avant songs, some are not all acid rock songs, etc., and yet there added nevertheless. 61.8.31.102 (talk) 22:48, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"There's no point of finding a source": no, genres must be sourced. Changing genres to suit your own point of view is considered disruptive. Refer to WP:GENREWARRIOR. Tkbrett (✉) 23:04, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Then if it needs to be sourced then why are the genres shown in the page not. It is not trying to suit my own view when it is heard throughout the album 61.8.31.102 (talk) 00:58, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The other genres are indeed sourced in the body of the article. Tkbrett (✉) 12:27, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
