[edit] Genre Description

Spoken Word is just that -- people speaking on a record. It could be poetry, it could be a stand-up routine, it could be a monologue, it could be basically anything, as long as it's spoken. It may or may not have music behind it, it may or may not be funny, it may or may not be pretentious. It's just spoken word.
