Thread Name: Does it matter what music is called?
Subject: RE: Does it matter what music is called?
"The siren rocks on which these discussions founder is authenticity; the impossible, realer-than-thou (or at least thou's taste) quest that feels, nay knows, there's a place beyond quality and discernment where folk lives free of the vicissitudes of modernity. It's an unnecessary burden for any label to carry and ends in a music that feels and looks like the image of the person doing the looking. A comfortable place and full of prime hogwash. "

If you performed in public well enough for people to take an interest in the sounds you make, you'd sooner or later encounter the question "where can I hear more music like that? what kind of music is it, anyway?".

And you'd give them THAT answer?
