Other Music Genres need 3rd Person Singular Verbs!
Yesterday my site producer IM'd me to thank me for having the album Orblivion by The Orb on my iTunes. I wrote back "You're welcome. The Orb rocks!" and then realized that was inappropriate. The Orb doesn't "rock" -- it makes excellent ambient electronica music! But how do you say that in a one-word soundbite?
The Orb trip-hops? Zero 7 chills out the house?
What about other genres? Do Bach, Prokofiev, and St. Seans project Classicism? Rap is already a verb, but not an emphatic one like "rock." Shouting "You rap!" during a 50 Cent concert is just stupid.
