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

Speaking as a viewer, this would definitely be a welcome addition and would help us find more DJ's who spin DNB!

I would like to retire a website I have setup for finding Drum & Bass Streamers. Please add the tag to the Music Tags Section. With the introduction of custom tags, i would expect there are some analytics that could support and update like this.

There are multiple partnered music streamers that are huge promoters of dnb, and en entire global family of streamers and viewers seeking this genre out specifically. Dnb deserves its own tag and it's honestly insulting how little twitch seems to care about this particular issue.

Inclusivity and transparency are never bad things. They are always worthwhile, and arguably necessary to a functioning community. An official tag such as what was proposed by @ytimid would serve to help others connect where they otherwise would not.
Please reconsider the "Drum and Bass" tag in lieu of a custom tag solution, as I think you will find that it will benefit not just the immediate DnB community, but the Twitch community as a whole.

Dubstep originated in the UK from multiple styles like uk garage, 2-step, Jungle, and yes you guessed it, DRUM AND BASS. Yet Drum and Bass has not got it's own tag which is a shame. It's like having a tag for BMX and not for Bicycles or Pony and not one for Horses and so on... Please help our community and add "drum and bass" as a tag to engage more easily with fans of this wonderful music.

Drum and Bass! Please reconsider said solution of "custom tags" as we use so many various spellings to indicate Drum and Bass music in our community such as DnB, D&B, Drum & Bass, DNB, etc. It would help greatly to unify this vast genre.

Custom tags are great for capturing things that are unusual or out of the norm, but DnB is an essential, root genre that has several written variations. It needs an official, uniform tag so us fans can all find what we are looking for. Easy fix.
