What exactly is based on fact that you are refering to here?

nor should there be a "eurobeat penalty" which is what you're suggesting.

I wouldnt go that far, all I'm saying is most eurobeat is, well, generic eurobeat.

After all, I'm just the mindless forum troll begging for attention and you're a might step god who also happens to have attended two years of college, studying exactly what we're arguing about -- oh wait.

If this is an insult, then it's a really bad one.

Genres are scientific. Certain genres have more limits than others. You need to judge within the genre. Instead of saying "eurobeat is generic and thus should receive a penalty," you should say "is this generic FOR EUROBEAT," which you did not.

Sorry to tell you but I DID do that. Don't know what else to say here.

But that's niether here nor there; the idea that song choice is an acceptable judging mechanic is prevailent in the community

The fact that creativity is on the judging template was not my decision, so you're attacking the wrong person for that.

I'm going to get bashed and smashed, and let's face it Zounder, you've already won.

Yep.
