I don't really think it's a new genre, as people have always enjoyed the soundtracks. Only album I'd actually go out of my way to download is for Cowboy Bebop, as it had some neat tracks and was critically acclaimed.

I got one of my friends into anime, now he has all the intro songs downloaded.

I personally don't listen to them (except for one case)

There's a few iconic songs I'll always remember, but I don't really download them either.

Well, it's been given it's own categories and such. In terms of whether it's considered its own genre world wide (given the three sub-genres too), I'm not so sure. I suspect popularity and time will tell.

On the Cowboy Bebop note - I've certainly spent days with the opening stuck in my head! xD

Ive downloaded the soundtrack for Ore Twintails ni Narimatsu, as I really liked it. The show being a loving parody of super sentai, the soundtrack is metal.

Feel free to share a youtube clip if there's one?
