Since most of us reading a website are living in modernity, this is the most general category. Music that's certain surf, but influenced, even if not overtly by modern music. As a result, it tends to be the biggest category, and with 8 honorable mentions and one winner this year, that seems to be the case.

I don't really care when people say stuff like "Dick Dale was the godfather of Heavy Metal". Surf music, as far I can tell, is when rock & roll musicians really started to embrace loudness and aggression. It's not a stepping stone to other loud forms of music, it's the dawn, and whatever came afterwards simply came later. And part of why I say this is because just as metal, etc can take influence from surf, surf can grab back too. This is the category for bands that focus on that aggressive sound.
