Hello.

Would be possible to try a clean-up at bands with capitalized genres? Even the site doesn't agree with those words being capitalized.

Review suggestions at the writing review tab wrote:
On the other hand, don't capitalize genres / styles i.e. Thrash Metal, Doom Metal - they're not proper nouns.


Wrong:
Spoiler: show
Not to be confused with Nemesis, Death Metal band from Ostrava.

Right:
Spoiler: show
Not to be confused with Nemesis, death metal band from Ostrava.


Even Metal Sages/Mods criticized reviews at the The Review Feedback Workshop and Crappy Diem about it.

I am very sorry if I offended some mods and users that do it, but it's just a question :)

Not sure if it's worth seeking these out, but here is a search that can be done to find them: https://www.metal-archives.com/search/a ... ame=#bands

I asked about this a while ago, and was informed that if there are a number of bands appearing in a list, the genres should be capitalized (example) - https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Assassin/24007 - but if just mentioned and not in a list, the genre should begin with lowercase letters (example) - https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Ba ... 3540439946

Absolutely right. OP, not a stupid or offensive post at all. Any modification that fixes incorrect grammar is valid.
