I did "songs about historical events"

and

"songs about explorers and conquerers" (something I've been into lately)

Neither was very good..

Seemed more to hit on the theme, but none of the songs were really "about" the things I asked for.

It did a good job with "pop punk with a little bit of metal and screamo" though.

Thanks for the feedback. Jams is currently using Chat GPT 3.5-turbo as his model (since v4 is currently cost-prohibitive). He may struggle with inferring the context.

I tried your prompts and agree that the playlists aren't getting after what I hear when I hear that prompt. Jams seems to think "explorers and conquerors" are rock ballads and indie folk, which is a little off.

I retooled the prompt to "epic songs about historical conquerors, adventurous. include historical folk songs about conquerors as well." The result (below) seemed more in-line with my intuitive take on the prompt. This is all bound to improve over time as Jams get smarter.
