Although it wasn't implicit in your
question or the subsequent answer, a reminder to the beginners out there that
you can't remove the "zgikn-" from zgiknroko/zgiknroke because the
remainder would break down into cmavo.

Subject: [lojban-beginners] Re:
music genres
When listing such genres
on e.g. uikipedias within the category {zgike}, do we still have to use the
rafsi of {zgike} at the beginning of every term (fu'ivla), which might look
verbose?
What about "drum&bass" or "house" or "synth
pop" or "country" or "ballad", which seem translatable
into Lojban without necessarily having recourse to fu'ivla? Personally I don't
fancy a list consisting of both words which begin with {zgik-} and those which
do not while both of them essentially belong to the same category {zgike}; it'd
look as though some terms are more "music-related" than others within
that category.

{zgiknroke} or {zgiknroko} (there has been a dispute over which form is
better; they're both good to me). Even in English we can't talk about foreign
music genres without using fu'ivla.
I did, though, invent a lujvo for "banjo" at jbonunsla: {damryjgita}.
