Ah yes, sub-topics, that seems to work very well.  Like this:

Community
     	Art (keywords "music", "video", "interactive", "performance", 
"art")
		Sound/Music (keywords "track" or whatever)
		Video (keywords "video")
		Interactive (keywords "interactive")
		Performance (keywords "performance")


I just threw in Performance for the hell of it.  But I am trying to 
resist creating a keyword explosion.
