Community signal
Saves and gear-photo tags from players who love this genre add weight, so the lists reflect who actually plays this stuff.
Distinctive, not just popular
We compare G-funk usage to all of Equipboard — so a tuner everyone owns doesn't drown out the gear that makes this genre sound like itself.
