Could you build this?
Partial The voting UI and database are vibe-codeable, but the core value is an accurate, curated subgenre dataset for tracks, which needs data sourcing and expert curation that code cannot supply.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a track metadata database (Discogs, MusicBrainz, or licensed feeds, since Spotify restricts genre data), a voting and moderation system, and a seeded set of expert-labeled tracks. The hard part is the taxonomy and the labeled data. Music genre expertise and community moderation drive accuracy more than the software.
