I also believe to an extent that this boiling down of a style is negatively aided by the history involved and how we(maybe only I) create semi-concrete perceptions of an emcees approach along the years. As I created the thought stencil of you being the archetype of an almost strictly personals type writer over time, people are most likely doing the same with others and their respective styles. I guess voting objectivity is a tad more fleeting & complex than I previously understood lol. A testament to how we can all be if even slightly, guided & swayed by ego
Also, as a side-note that's still how I write bars too w/ the multi list thing lmao. I find it shortcuts the process a lot of the time. Mfw I realize chloro advice is still alive in my every-day process.

I consider two major methods of writing punches:
"Top-down" (come up with the concept first and write the multis to match)
"Bottom-up" (come up with a multi set, then write a concept to use it)
Of course, since writing bars is a complex process, one bar can (and often does) originate from both of these (e.g. come up with a double meaning, find a multi set that matches another bar you've already written, rephrase the double meaning to fit that set).
I mostly use top-down for serious battles. In less serious battles I prefer bottom-up since it's less strenuous to write.
