Drum & Bass Music Category (Official Tag)
Having just had our previous campaign closed, stating that this is now solved by CUSTOM TAGS, this is absolutely not the case.
Twitch has always had music tags such as: Trance, House, Techno, Dubstep and others which sit directly underneath the Main Music Category.
Drum & Bass is equally as large a community on Twitch as any of those categories, and instead of enabling us to unify through a central music category, you state that Custom Tags is enough. It is not. It spreads our community out through all the general misspellings; eg. DNB, Drumandbass, Drumnbass, Jungle, Liquid, Neurofunk, Ragga, Techstep, Oldskool, Liquidfunk and many more.
Please give us an Official Category Tag;
Drum and Bass.
THANK YOU.
Twitch no longer supports "official" tags, but we have created a series of new genre-based collections including one for Drum and Bass. This will aggregate all live music streams in a single, permanent location to bookmark here: https://www.twitch.tv/directory/collection/drum-and-bass-streams.
This not only includes streams with the tags DNB and DRUMANDBASS, but also JUNGLE, LIQUID, NEUROFUNK, RAGGA, TECHSTEP, OLDSKOOL, LIQUIDFUNK, DARKSTEP, FUNKSTEP, ELECTROFUNK, and DRUMNBASS.
In addition, a shelf will also appear in our music directory featuring a selection of live channels when there are enough live music streams using the tag concurrently: https://www.twitch.tv/directory/music

Absurd that there are completely dead genres on the platform that are officially supported but one of the largest communities (Jungle and DnB) is left out of this.

For Twitch admins considering this and perhaps not familiar with the term:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_and_bass
Drum and Bass is older than Dubstep by over a decade.

How is a proper DNB tag not a thing yet? DNB is huge nowadays, especially on twitch.

Our community deserves our own category! Not just random custom tags

Seriously, why does every other genre of music get a tag and Drum and Bass is missing, sort it out Twitch!!!!!!

Yes please. Drum and Bass encompasses a huge community on twitch! This is a massive omission by not recognizing this music through tags.

Official Drum and Bass tag please and thank you. It's 2022, why is there not one? Best community on twitch and we don't even have our own tag.

We want an official tag. Custom tags just won't cut it, as it puts a whole genre in with everything else so visibility in searches will remain low.
Remember when you booked John B to play Twitchcon Europe? Respect us with a full Drum & Bass tag.

Official drum and bass tag please!

Wish that you would add it as an official tag Twitch. The other tags you have that mirror the Music Genre format exclude Drum And Bass. Examples including: Techno, Dubstep, House, etc.
Drum and bass deserves it just as much. Standardization here would help. Thank you.

Major music vendors, streaming services, etc. use Drum & Bass as a genre category.

Still?
Seriously
Cmon
Biggest most influential genre for the last two decades and not got its own tag

So many good points here already. DJs will be using several of their tags just to cover potential spelling & punctuation choices. And more than half of the DJs I mod for are Brazilian; they sorely need ONE tag that is easy to find and put on their streams in order to be discovered by more supporters outside of Brazil.

C'mon now, why does every other genre of music get a tag and we don't?

Yes please add a standardized tag for the DnB community!
This would greatly increase the discoverability of channels, and therefore would help increase viewership across the twitch platform.
