It strikes me as odd that this template links to lists rather than articles. For example, it seems that it would make much more sense to link to blues than List of genres of the blues.

Indie has quite a large following in western countries such as Australia, USA, Canada and especially the UK, therefore it seems relevant to add a link to the article Indie (music).

Don't you think funk should be included? It is a major genre and is not a sub-genre of any other genre.

As far as I've checked, the post-industrial 'movement' in itself is not significantly different enough from a broader 'electronic' movement to put it on it's own.

Is there any way to get rid of both the ")" marks at the end of the template? There are two parentheses next to the word "soul" in the box. I don't think they should be there, but I'm having trouble getting rid of them. Can somebody please help me? Thank you for your understanding & cooperation.
