PLEASE HELP ME - a list of ukulele player sub-genres

UKISOCIETY · Jun 20, 2012

I'm compiling a list of all the sub-genres that exist within the ukulele playing community. By that, I mean the various groups that form in the uke community that involve another area of interest, or shared similarities.

Such as:

Uke players that hula-hoop
GIGAPUs (Girls in Glasses and Playing Ukulele)
Plastic uke players.

etc.

What other sub-groups exist in the uke community? Thanks!

pootsie · Jun 20, 2012

Hand-drummers?
Unicycle riders?
Lawyers?
Jugglers?
Bald?
With tattoos?

I'm in all these groups!

Oh, and don't forget TINY TIM HATERS!

Where do I sign up?

Or you could categorize them by playing style:

Chunk Monkeys - people who have to throw in two or three chunks with every measure of music
Thumb-Strummers
Barre-Flys

Skitzic · Jun 20, 2012

Uku-readers. People who spend way too much time reading about ukuleles while their uke gathers dust.
