Géneros musicales

Del 2010 al 2019 hay los mismos años que desde 1970 a 1979, estamos de acuerdo, y sin embargo pienso en las dos décadas y una de ellas no me dice gran cosa. ¿Qué corriente cultural, digna de resaltar, aportó la década anterior a ésta? La proliferación de memes podría ser un ejemplo de expresión cultural. Se me ocurre también el trap latino. Seguro que si me esfuerzo encuentro algo más sustancioso. Con los 70 me resulta más sencillo, el punk, el metal, el rap y la música disco nacieron en aquella década, casi nada.

No descarto que ande yo desconectado de las nuevas tendencias. ¿Y si pregunto a ChatGPT? Desde hace poco cuenta con una funcionalidad nueva, Advanced data analysis. Voy a utilizarla. Para empezar le pido que confeccione una lista de los géneros musicales más importantes por año de nacimiento desde el siglo XX hasta la actualidad. Cuantos más géneros mejor. No sólo géneros principales, ojo, sino también más marginales o alternativos.

A continuación le pido que me genere una hoja de cálculo en formato CSV. Se muestra entusiasmado con mi propuesta. Al cabo de un par de minutos me planta un enlace desde el que puedo descargar el fichero.

—¡Excelente! ¿Qué tal unas gráficas ahora?

—¡Por supuesto! —responde sin pensarlo— ¿cómo las quieres?

—Pues mira, me vas a poner una tipo barras, y otra de líneas, así, para abrir boca, ¿qué te parece?

Está lanzado, encuentra que he escogido de manera exquisita. Apenas le lleva dos minutos generarlas.

Aquí hay algo que no me cuadra. Abro el fichero con los datos y resulta que se están duplicando géneros. Le pido que por favor no lo haga, cuando un género ya ha salido en una década no puede volver a repetirlo, solo sus subgéneros. Lo entiende perfectamente, y lo corrige sin rechistar.
