Somebody posted this earlier, and I've been thinking about it.
>ALPHA
Social and acclaimed music. EDM, popular and well-liked rappers like Kendrick Lamar and A Tribe Called Quest, jazz greats like John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Duke Ellington, etc., and maybe some classical like Bach.
>BETA
Indie music. Popular bands like Radiohead, Modest Mouse, Bright Eyes. Popular metal for indie kids, like Deafheaven, Mastodon, Isis.
>GAMMA
Avant garde noise merchants like Stockhausen. Experimental rock bands like Can, Einstürzende Neubauten. More challenging jazz composers like Ornette Coleman. The more uncompromising punk and metal groups like His Hero is Gone, NoMeansNo, Napalm Death, kvlt black metal, etc.
>DELTA*
Really bland music chosen to not alienate anyone, but inadvertently alienates just about everyone with how lame it is. Post-Grunge, faux-indie like Mumford & Sons, top 40, outdated cheese genres like scene music, glam metal, 90s teen pop, etc.
>OMEGA
Easy answer is anime and vidya OST's. Also music that repulses most people because of some distasteful transgression, ranging from lolicore/ponycore to "hate" music like NSBM.
*Note that I actually have significantly more contempt for deltas than I do omegas. Omegas are kind of just people who never really figured out life or society, so they just do their own strange thing. Deltas are dead inside. They're monotonous.
