What's the nomenclature behind this genre of music? And the reason it's so important is that the members are the ones that know. They know better than I do. They know better than a lot of the staff because our members are music professionals. So they might hear something in the new genre that's coming up and be like, oh, you guys aren't catching on. We have to honor this music.

But what makes our show valuable, and as of now, and maybe this isn't always going to be the case, but as of now, the most valuable television show in regards to music is because it's not just about popularity.
