Walrus NWA: No Weebs Allowed Walrus

Andy Snype

Mr. Music
ayo it's your friendly neighborhood kunclord snyper here with a walrus of my own. i am ready to judge your songs and get ridiculed for my taste. To those of you that don't know how this works, basically y'all submit a song for each of the audio cats that you think I'd like fitting within the category. I'll keep track of scoring. Couple of things to note about this:

  • I have a VIDEO category as well
  • 11 Audio Categories, 1 Video Category
  • I'm bringing back SHITPOSTing. If you shitpost, it must be musically inclined but does not have to be relevant to the category you're shitposting for
  • I'm introducing a curve. If you get a 7/10+, you should be really proud of yourself. The curve will be sqrt((SCORE from 1-10) / 10) * 10, so don't feel bad if you get a bunch of 3's. 0-1 will be: did you even read cat / submit music? 2-4 will be somewhere in the range of: not my taste. 4-5: eh? I expect most stuff that I like to score between a 5 and a 7. 7+: I like and i think sounds really good.
  • I will be using the hundredths digit in scores.
  • New curve after doing some preliminary runs with the rest of it: it gave too high of a score for the really low stuff to really mean much so I changed it, tried out a couple of modifying things and I'm rolling with this one:
  • SQRT((SCORE - 1) / 10) * 10.5409255333. If your score is within a 0-1, you are earning negative points equivalent to -1 * the score you could have earned. Don't worry, I will reserve this for the most questionable pieces that one might call music.
  • [1, 2.5) will be ranging from 0 to 4, [2.5, 4) will be ranging from 4 to 5.77, [4, 4.7] will be ranging from 5.77 to 6.4, [4.7, 5.5] will be ranging from 6.4 to 7.07. [5.5, 7] will range from 7.07 to about an 8.16. [7, 8] will be about 8.16 to 8.81, [8, 9] will be about [8.81, 9.4] and [9, 10] will be 9.4 -> 9.999999999.


Audio Categories:

Category 1: Upbeat - A song that only needs to sound upbeat. It doesn't need to actually be happy

Category 2: Sick Beats - Be creative.

Category 3: Hydra - This song must feature horns and/or stringed instruments. Clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, french horn, bugle for horns. Stringed instruments are those instruments that require the plucking of a fibrous material to make an audible sound to serve as the base of a material. For the purposes of this category, guitars do not count.

Category 4: Get Schwifty - Exactly what you'd expect to hear at a party or at a club. Trashiness will play a factor in judging. Emphasis is on trashiness not trash. Whatever you'd be playing at a party. Please specify the type of party you'd like (just not kiddie birthday parties pls). Anything submitted for the cat prior to this change is still fine, the criteria is just how much I dig it for the occasion.


Category 5: Soundtrack - Send me a song that was on a soundtrack for a movie, tv show, anime, etc. (with what it was in, if it's not obvious)


Category 6: English is Overrated - Submit something that has no more than ten (15 if Bollywood) different English words in it.

Category 7: The Next Card Against Humanity - Submit something that could be the next card against humanity. Could be a meme. Could be i'd be going to hell because of this song.

Category 8: 20th Century - Submit something that was released during the 20th Century.



Category 9: What's Y2K? - Submit something that came out after December 31, 1999


Category 10: This ain't sauce! - Submit a remix, a mashup, a parody, or cover of an already-released song. Original vocals are allowed if it's a remix. Link to the original song in the sub as well. If the specific remix isn't in the banned list, but is based off of a banned song, but not a banned artist, I will allow it.


Category 11: Technology - Submit something that has a technologic presence in the song. This could be a synthesizer, an EDM song, etc. Basically, songs that would fail this cat are any song that you could replicate well enough (to my standard) through a non-electronic instrument and voices.

Video Category:

Category 12: Best Scene - submit a good scene that was either televised, in a movie, or available through a website containing movies and television shows. Youtube links are required to submit and must be available in America. This does not need to be a musically inclined scene.

You may SHITPOST one category if you would like. Just make it funny. Indicate it's a shitpost if you are going to use it. Shitposts must have a musical inclination.

For Category 10: This ain't sauce! - If the specific remix isn't in the banned list, but is based off of a banned song, but not a banned artist, I will allow it. I don't want to hear any covers by Muse, but if you have a cover of oh say Black Betty, I will allow it. If it's a remix that I have submitted or mentioned specifically, it is not allowed.
