And I don't have to explain anything. It's like some people can just slap around terms and sound cool for knowing and applying them. IMO genre is just a disease, no music needs classification if you don't want it to. Word of mouth or descriptors is just better, but it's all subjective anyway. Trying to look objective by tagging something with a genre is an antithesis in and of itself.

Person 1 - "DUDE. Did you hear that band 'Philosophical Nothingness'? It's liek....New Wave Tech-Death Progcore, man!"
Person 2 - "Dude, stfu with yr generz."


Books are books all the same, but try to suggest abolishing classification in libraries, and see what happens. I agree with you that some people take things too far with the whole genre thing, but you should also remember that most people need to be guided, particularly when they are not familiar with something. Anyway, calling genre a 'disease' is a bit too harsh, especially on a site that uses this kind of classification.
