Thread Name: Does it matter what music is called?
Subject: RE: Does it matter what music is called?
People seem to have some innate need to categorize or compartmentalize things in order to more efficiently process and store information in their cranial computers for later retrieval. Apart from the appropriate classifications of the scientific arena, I have always detested "labels," whether for people, art, music or politics. Still, when most people hear a new genre of musical expression, they simply have to call it "something." I take songs one at a time; liking, disliking or being ambivalent about them as they happen to impress me. I really don't give a mouldy fig what you may call them.
