British dance-punk/new rave bands tomorrow and see if they fit in fine.

Why British? There were plenty of great "influential" dance-punk acts that were American or German or Brazillian or Canadian. Being British doesn't instantly make something more influential

Not that it's terrible, but it might stray too much from the rock feel the rest of the collection is promoting.

So dream pop and shoegaze are somehow more rock than dance punk?

I know some artists classified as dream pop that are most definitely not rock, but it is a subgenre of rock. I know shoegaze is rock. I would also consider most dance punk as rock.

Example of dream pop != rock?

Well pop has two meanings in music from my standpoint.

Popular music, which can include rock, dubstep, dance whatever

Poppy pop pop which is like those plastic chairs that are designed in italy/sweden and made in china. You know the ones are all shiny and outlandishly shaped.

That is irrelevant. "Dream pop" refers to a specific type of music and if you don't know what I'm talking about by that then you shouldn't interject with your opinions about it :T

I know what dream pop is thank you very much, I'm just trying to explain why I don't consider it much of a rock sub-genre.

But if you're just basing your arguments on the name, leading me to believe that you don't. Plus, as we can tell from Wikipedia, "Dream pop is a musical subgenre of pop rock and alternative rock." Neither of its origins is plain pop music, but it comes rather from pop rock, which is lighter and hookier than just plain rock.

I was simply saying that I distinguish pop rock from poppy pop, and I classify dream pop as poppy pop, despite what Wikipedia may say.

Even though often unreliable, it's generally pretty reliable especially about different ways us humans have categorised our art. Unless something has been described as such by another source, such as a review, it's not included on the page; the genre descriptor there, as well is sourced from reviews & what the labeled bands sound like.

I'm not saying it's unreliable, I get frustrated when my teachers say that. Just saying that sometimes it differs with my opinion 

The Beatles, all day and all night!

I know, and I'm going to make another compilation for bands from America, Australia, etc.
But this particular comp. is sort of like a love letter to Britain and its music.

I don't see the point in frankensteining-up beautiful music by nationality. Music isn't supposed to be about national borders or where you're from and sorting it by that makes no sense to me
