Singer-songwriter doesn't only mean someone writing their own songs, most albums which are really singer-songwriter (not Dimmu Borgir or whatever other mistagged bands/artists) have a similar sound or just similar techniques and ideas (check out at least a couple of songs from albums like FTBC by Fiona Apple, Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos, Closing Time by Tom Waits, Hejira by Joni Mitchell, NFR by Lana del Rey and Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel), all these albums have a similar vibe kind of like a ballad, giving the lyrics way more attention by the instrumental taking "lower precedence" (not sure if that's the correct term, english is not my first language). Sure I can agree that it's a little bit of a redundant tag but it is as (if not more) redundant as "Rock", "Pop" and "Classical Music", and I'm pretty sure no one is complaining about those in their shoutboxes

Check out my song Falling - Nico Santone. You can stream it anywhere. I would best classify it as guitar heavy pop rock. I would love it if anyone who sees this could give it a listen. This is just the first step, more to come later.

Agreed. I tag some songs autistic since it gives me that vibe, it's not a genre but it has a meaning.

Really, I'm surprised to find the "singer-songwriter" tag here. Never thought anyone would care to use something like that, haha.

Perhaps if if you want to rename it, we should rename singer-songwriter as.... lyricists.

I agree with vasdhjk, this category is ridiculous. Where's the line between 'singer' and 'singer-songwriter'? What if a singer-songwriter sings a someone else's song, does he instantly become a singer? If anything this should be a tag for a song, not for an artist. It is also the most useless category because it says nothing about the type of music, except that there is a singer (for which we have male/female vocalist categories).

orginaly, it refered to professional songwriters that started singing their own songs(like carol king), and then eventauly came to refer to all artists that made music in that style

singer songwriter is generally a solo project, like acoustic music. it isn't to distinguish singers from songwriters, because many times in groups outside of pop, the singer does write the lyrics and things.
