NEW AGE Genre Removed from iTunes Music Store

[ejd]

The iTunes Music Store has totally removed the New Age Genre from it's genre menus.

I contacted Apple and their only response was:

I'm sorry, but "New Age" is no longer a Genre choice in the pull-down menu on the iTunes Music Store. ​

Since when does a music store show prejudice against a Genre?
The ability to choose is freedom; now there is no choice.

Their response is something more I would expect from Microsoft, not Apple!
Is Apple falling into corporate greed?

This does not bode well...

Hit Browse, select New Age under Genre. It's still there, just not in the pull down.

No way, it's gotta be a conspiracy to upset New Agers so that they flip out and start buying higher-margin aggro-rock. .

Does anyone know what Kayokyoku is?

Essentialy traditional Japanese Pop (I guess as differentiated from J-Pop).
