Notes
Uncertain or tentative taxa are in small text; ~~crossed out~~ taxa are discredited.

gollark: Random pop songs tend to be "uplifting", but also extremely dull.

gollark: Well, that might be nice, but my main concern is it not being boring.

gollark: I only listen to music with guitars and screaming. Other "music" is not real.

gollark: Yes.

gollark: "Creation of Earth (Sun)" is also boring.
