Dear Deezer Team,
I am writing to request the addition of three new genres—Goth, Religious/Spiritual, and Horror/Horrorcore—to the Deezer Flow feature.
While Flow already offers a diverse range of moods and genres, these three categories would greatly enhance the platform’s inclusivity and user experience.
Here are the reasons for each suggested addition:
**Goth**
- Goth music is experiencing a significant resurgence, especially among younger listeners and Gen Z, who are embracing its atmospheric, melancholic, and artistic qualities.
- The genre’s influence extends beyond music to fashion, film, and online communities, making it a cultural touchstone for many users seeking an alternative or introspective listening experience.
- Including Goth in Flow would cater to fans of classic and modern acts alike, from The Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie Sioux, etc. to contemporary artists influenced by the genre, reflecting the evolving tastes of Deezer’s audience.
**Religious/Spiritual**
- Spiritual music streaming is a rapidly growing segment, valued for its ability to inspire, uplift, and connect listeners with deeper meaning and well-being.
- Many users turn to spiritual music for meditation, mindfulness, relaxation, or to explore diverse cultural and religious traditions, from gospel and chants to ambient and new age sounds.
- Adding a Spiritual genre would meet the increasing demand for personalized, mood-enhancing content and support users in their personal growth, wellness, and creative journeys.
**Horror/Horrorcore**
- Horrorcore is a unique subgenre of hip hop that explores dark, supernatural, and macabre themes, appealing to listeners who appreciate intense storytelling and a distinctive aesthetic.
- The genre has a dedicated fan base and has influenced mainstream and underground artists, offering a bold alternative to conventional rap and hip hop.
- Including Horror/Horrorcore in Flow would provide fans with a space to explore music that evokes fear, suspense, and the supernatural, aligning with the platform’s commitment to diverse musical experiences.
Adding these genres to Deezer Flow would not only reflect current trends and user interests but also affirm Deezer’s position as a platform that values musical diversity and cultural relevance.
Thank you for considering this request.
