I think it started recently, like this year(2017). I was wondering why they would change the genre "Anime" to "Anisong." Does anyone know why? I'm a really organized person and this is kinda bugging me.........

Song examples:
1. Eromanga-sensei - Hitorigoto
2. Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon - Ishukan Communication

Just the first page on google I pulled up it looks like they've used anisong at least as far back as 2009 as part of an anime festival. But I wouldn't be surprised if it dates older than that.
So it's more of an older phrase that was intended for anime theme songs but I'm guessing whatever you're referencing that sorted them for some reason just started using it.

Who's "them" exactly? In any case I thought it was pretty common that people call it anisong, I use that word myself instead of anime song since it's much shorter

anisong comes from japanese アニソン where it might have been in use for 10+ years

anison is what stuff witten fir the anime is called not just songs youse in an anime or what it use to be called
"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong

I Tag all the music I download by myself so I don't rally care or notice that stuff. When I do a bulk download I usually clear off the genre and comments because some twats like leaving comments on my Rabu Raibu songs.

Because it's most likely a cool representation.

Eh... But I like things organized well. So I would always stick to the origin and not fill in my own...

It's also a genre apparently. And it has it's own company, I think...

Anime or anisong had its own company? I know that officially anime isn't a genre, since that's like calling French films a genre.

Anime isn't a company........ Anisong was used long ago. Don't know why they're using it now out of nowhere.. Anime may not be a real genre... But it stills put everything together, right?

Does it really matter if the name of the genre changes? Just listen to the damn music.
