"Adult contemporary" as a genre

Looking at the article adult contemporary, it is clear that AC is a radio format rather than a genre, citing Encyclopedia of Radio, Continuum Encylopedia of Popular Music of the World. The lead says, The exact assemblage of adult contemporary music has varied based on trends in popular music. Given its dubious genre categorisation, I don't think it's helpful to include AC as a genre, despite the "adult contemporary" classification given by Pitchfork. Pinging @InsiderChiari: here for discussion. Ippantekina (talk) 04:00, 24 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm.. I do see your point, but adult contemporary has been used as a genre on Wikipedia for years. The portion "Adult contemporary was originally established as a continuation of the easy listening and soft rock sounds from the 1960s and 1970s, usually focusing on songs with varying degrees of easy listening, pop, soul, R&B, quiet storm, and rock influence. In the 1990s, adult contemporary began to accommodate a hotter sound more inclusive of contemporary pop songs, and develop sub-categories devoted towards specific genres" from the article definitely does make it seem like a genre. I don't have a strong opinion either way, but I just believe we should be consistent and since adult contemporary has been used as a genre on Wikipedia for years it may be easier to keep it that way.
