Genre

I think that orchestral music (or classical music) should be added to the genres, due to the fact that the bonus track is an orchestral suite. --121.214.42.23 (talk) 00:15, 26 February 2012 (UTC) Lachie Bennett - Lewis[reply]

If you google Bangarang you'll find it's also a known language of the Australian (Victorian) Aboriginal tribe of the Yorta Yorta. Jen Hanlon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.38.100.70 (talk) 06:59, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Spin writer

Exactly who wrote that or is it just some detractor's personal comments? Would like to delete if not sourced — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.217.83.43 (talk) 08:26, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Something Moby might hear in his head during a heart attack" The page writer obviously wants to make the Bangarang EP sound like pure cacophony, when really it is a collection of some of the best electronic music on the waves. I wish people would stop using words like "orgasmic" to describe electronic music. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.13.38.104 (talk) 15:50, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hook Movie

Is this song in referring to the 1991 movie hook? Bangarang is the chant used by the lost boys, lost boys are referenced in the song as well as losing marbles which is a sub-plot of the movie involving the loss of marbles of by Toodles. The icecream vendor in the video also has a hook and a Captain Hookeque mustache. This has also been noted by others http://www.spin.com/articles/watch-skrillexs-hook-licious-bangarang-video.

Not an EP?

Why is Bangarang listed as an EP? On the page "Extended play," an EP is defined as "[at least] 25 minutes of length or [at least] four tracks (not counting alternative versions of featured songs, if present)," and Bangarang reaches both specifications. Accordingly, shouldn't this article be moved to "Bangarang (album)"? — Tha†emoover†here (talk) 23:28, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct, it's not an EP. If it qualified on either level then the argument could be made, but this is a fairly clear example of labeling a record as an EP for marketing purposes only. I'll be changing it unless there's more votes to the contrary. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 00:48, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

its an ep, get over it. violetcries 23 july, 2013.

Genres

Firstly, 'EDM' is not a genre. However, I suppose this EP does cover many electronic music genres, so it is fair enough to leave it at 'EDM'. But why is 'pop' listed as a genre? This EP surely has no influence of pop in any songs. The source given for why this is 'pop' is just a review 'hating' on the EP for being generic, or something along those lines, which is not an adequate source for a claim.

Firstly, Wikipedia articles do not eschew professional critiques in favor of the opinions of editors. Secondly, the review you're referring was a positive one. Lastly, please sign your talk page posts with four tildes like this: ~~~~. Dan56 (talk) 22:32, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the review is indeed positive of the EP, this EP is in no way 'pop' music. Pop does not refer to this type of music. Read Wikipedia's article on pop music if you want the definition. I think categorising this under 'EDM' is all that is necessary. 110.23.11.131 (talk) 10:41, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Even if I were to use pop music as a source (Wikipedia is not a reliable source), how would our application of that definition to this album's music be appropriate? We're Wikipedia editors, not professional music critics or experts in the field, so I must reiterate--"we publish the opinions only of reliable authors, and not the opinions of Wikipedians who have read and interpreted primary source material for themselves." (WP:RS#Overview) I don't know how else I can frame this. If you truly believe in the validity of your opinion, find an expert/critic who shares that interpretation, that "pop does not refer to this type of music."
