Yeah, I know the descriptions. I've obviously read all of them, that's how I knew Drama also has none;).
That doesn't change the fact that when you say "action/adventure", people seldom think of John Carter. Like it or not, people tend to associate that with a modern setting.
And the purpose of the tags is to be informative to other users, isn't it? I know what happens in my game, and what doesn't.
Anyway, I didn't want to make this discussion about my game. That was just an example, and I kinda got carried away writing... my bad.
The real point of my reply was "no, it's also Drama that doesn't get any love". So, can't we get some definitions for Punk and for Drama, which could be included?
Granted, both words mean different things even to some fans of the genres, so maybe they're left the way they are intentionally.

Might I suggest "Action/Adventure"?
AsenRG:
Because Sword and Planet with more Eastern elemetns than usual is totally like "Die Hard"?
In other words, I don't find it a good fit, no.
And may I also remind everyone: though I understand the movie was an abomination to the fans of the series; that 'John Carter of Mars' was distinctly closer to 'Die Hard' than even some of the other movies on Gaffer's list which ALSO are action/adventure. So honestly I think that label fit's fairly well.
Abomination is the right word for more than one reason. So, why do you judge a whole genre by an example the fans would consider an abomination? That's like judging RPGs by FATAL or RaHoWa, isn't it?
