When people post a link to a song, there is no way to tell what kind of music it is or what period it's from. To help engagement and the user experience, I suggest we require people to at least write the genre and year in the title of their post. Bonus points for adding some explanation in the body of the post about the significance of the song and why they're sharing it.

If you make genre mandatory then the genre hawks come and discourage posting.

Then the problem would be people squabbling about genre, which can easily be stopped. I don't think we should prevent ourselves from doing something potentially very helpful because we foresee a chance of another problem occurring, especially one that can be dealt with.

Just saying. The genre thing is why I never participated in r/music
