Yumenexa sent me his old BN app. And told me something I found quite weird about metadata, and mostly, tags. Since, he told me that actually describing Background content is in fact, a rule. And upon checking it, it actually is.
It's the very 1st rule about tags.
And it says:
I know that with Lazer, a lot of research function, such as mapping style tags etc... is actually a thing.
However, if we consider describing background content, that'd be leading to tagging a lot of unrelated stuff, either from the song, or the source content of the song.
Storyboard may also fall under that statement.
Here's some example of what we should add as tag if we follow that rule exactly as it is:
A lot of maps, would use a random background, either original, or from a game, anime or anything else that is in fact totally unrelated to the song. It is sometimes choosed solely because it just follow the vibe of the song, lyrics or anything else. But it doesn't change the fact, that the background is totally unrelated to the mapped song.
We all BN & mappers, for now, never talk about actually add tags related to the background. As it is just common sense to us.
So considering that, I want to re word that rule correctly, to make sure we're not in a case, where tagging unrelated content to the song/map is actually a rule.
For exemple, something like that could work better:
If you have a better idea on how to word it better. Please make sure to write it down.
It's the very 1st rule about tags.
And it says:
- Rules
- Tags must be related to the beatmap, such as describing the style, song, storyboard, video, or background content. Misleading tags must be avoided.

- AAAA - Hoshizora no Kanransha
Blue Archive 阿慈谷ヒフミ Hifumi Ajitani 白洲アズサ Shirasu Azusa 下江コハル Shimoe Koharu
This song have no relation to Blue Archive at all. It's just the background. - Maitre Gims - Bella (Cut. Ver.)
Honkai Star Rail HSR 姫子 Himeko
Again, song have no relation to Honkai Star rail, just a background.
