Ch0, my genre thing was an imprecise description, I think. That is based on visits to genre hubpages (http://www.texasgigs.com/music/rap-hi...). We're not yet able to count all hip hop pages or all rock pages, etc. But that's coming...
My hypothesis on the discrepancy is that there are fewer hip-hop shows. And show info is what really drives our traffic.
