    Wow, other people feel the same about this tag. I think we should start tagging everything with the tag World, until we start to find music from other worlds...

    if english speakers tag music in other language as "world" music Im going to tag theirs as "musica de mundo" if is not in spanish, doable with all the existing idioms. Lets see how they like it [2]

    Dear Americans, please stop tagging music that's neither country nor dance music as 'world'. IT ANNOYS THE CRAP OUT OF ME.

    OK, 'world' is a bit of a squishy genre but it generally gives quite a good varied listening experience. The 'world' tag isn't just going to fade away because a few(ok, lots of) people have something 'clever' to say against it . For people with some positive things to say this would be a good place to post links to better named tag radios. ~~~~ btw the posts on the ethnic tag probably need a few more comments from you all.
