Renert's Records - A Vanity Popular Music Set

Post by weebyjeebys »

I'm proud to announce that writing has begun for my debut quizbowl set Renert's Records.

The set is intended to be 5 packets of 20 tossups. The content is meant to touch on topics I haven't seen represented in popular music writing in quizbowl. As such, I intend for this set to be very difficult, so pour over your backlogs and record collections!

The distribution is as follows:

3/0 Pop/Rock (1990s and previous)
3/0 Pop/Rock (2000s-onward)
2/0 R&B/Soul
1/0 Traditional Folk
1/0 Singer-songwriter
3/0 Hip Hop
2/0 Electronic
1/0 Multi-Genre Common Link
2/0 “Art Music”/Experimental music
1/0 Jazz
1/0 Miscellaneous

At least 5 tossups per pack will be representing music outside of the United States, Europe and Japan.

To make this set more palatable, I'm receiving the generous support of Paul Kasiński for proofreading.

I'm very excited to share this set with you all, I'm hoping to have it completed by late June-early July, with a set of discord readings to follow shortly thereafter.
