Dear All,

it seems the genre list came from Winamp, they have extended the
original genre list and it was copied from winamp everywhere else,
like to lame and audacity. The audacity devs have removed it after a
complaint like this:

It is part of lame since 2000 at least:

According to this, it was renamed in winamp 5.63 to Afro-Punk:
