LOL!  Yeah, I've always wondered about the "Porn Groove" genre.  This
assumes there are people that actually listen to it like it's serious
music?  <scratches head>

I agree, they are either impossibly large or way too limiting.  Best to
go with a set you develop that meets your needs, or use one of the
existing genres in one of those impossibly-huge lists.  

Some other interesting genres in the standard lists:

Darkwave
Dream
Folklore
Freestyle
JPop
Merengue
Negerpunk (!)
Noise
Primus
Space
Terror

...so yeah, there's no point in being "standard" and adhering to that
list.
