Talk:Wherever I Go (OneRepublic song)

Genre list

The genres for this song are listed as funk rock, synthpop, and new wave; all three are currently unsourced. Yesterday I changed them to pop rock and dance-pop citing the single's page on Rate Your Music, but SummerPhD reverted, calling the source not valid. By this logic, the current list, which has no sources anywhere, would also be invalid. This article was used as a source for the genre "pop" for a long time, as can be seen in this diff from July 2016; the source seems perfectly valid, and the changes since then are, as I previously explained, unsourced. Besides (and I know this isn't a valid argument, but here gives), in my humble opinion this song has very little funk or new wave influence; to me it's a full-blown 2010s pop song that sounds similar to quite a few other songs with vastly different genre tags. Could I please have an explanation?

Thank you,

If listed genres are not sourced (and do not have a consensus on the talk page) and you wish to remove them, feel free to do so, with an edit summary saying you are removing unsourced/undiscussed genres.

Rate Your Music is a user edited site. Such sites should not be used as sources for anything. (As an extreme example, I could go to that site and add that "Wherever I Go" is experimental acid jazz-bluegrass fusion, composed in 1682 by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.) - SummerPhD^v2.0 16:08, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
