Everett,

You could easily break down any number of genres into smaller sub categories of those genres. It's almost never ending. We try to broaden it when it's clear, through overwhelming and distinct entries that more categories need to be added or broken up. Ourstage seems to be doing the same thing as their genres keep growing and growing. But we have 100 genres this year in our awards with a half million songs.. I don't think they have a fraction of that on their site and they have nearly 50 last I checked. So I think they are growing it at the right pace. By the way, this is the first year in the JPF awards that we've ever been close to having enough traditional/country gospel to break off into a category of its own and we're still not sure about it.
