Smoking Gun's Rider Roundup

The Smoking Gun website features excerpts from the riders that music performers add to their performance contract. The riders often contain ridiculous demands for backstage amenities.

The website recently organized the band by genre. They have categories such as:

Alt Rock (e.g., Red Hot Chili Peppers),
Arena Rock (Rolling Stones),
Boy Bands (New Kids on the Block),
Divas (Barbra Streisand),
Crooners (Neil Diamond),
Country (Willie Nelson),
R&B (Al Green),
Hip Hop (50 Cent)
Oldie Acts (Beach Boys)

So where did they put bands like Styx, Journey and REO Speedwagon?
Into the section labeled "Cutout Bin"
