actually for our kind of music lover who love those music you displayed there, would not do any translation with them at all. becasue they all came from english name, we just let it to be english is ok. so when you are talking the music genres, we all understand generally.

Alternative - 另类音乐 Swing - 摇摆 Emotive and Big Band aren't listed. Myspace has 重金属 for Hard House, but surely that's Heavy Metal?

Perhaps, I muse, there's a funny "translateration" (like 浩室) for emo (not the original emotive hardcore, that would probably be 抒情硬核) but for the somewhat derogative label. I was thinking of 黑墨音乐... lol
