What’s the intention of the Gengetone artists? We’ve been discovering new Gengetone bands and solo artists almost every week. It seems a fair amount of them are coming into the scene just for fame (not even for the money in this particular niche). They seem to enjoy being called for interviews in local radio and TV stations and the chief executive of KFCB tweeting about them.

Gengetone music needs to be clear on what specifically they’re representing for. They need to research and make clear their “why”.

Diversity. Currently, Gengetone isn’t diversified at all. All of the artists are talking about sex and drugs using almost the same beats and dance styles. For the genre to survive they’ll need to start singing/rapping about other topics as well.
