"theres nothing wrong with your definitions Richard - except that they're sod all use to man nor beast"

One joker and one queen from the folk pack of cards have said that on another thread.

If that is so, why do the many different sorts of metal music from death metal to speed metal to straightedge to norse metal to speedmetal to doom and many more argue about their appellations?

Why is reggae not ragga?

Why is not all rap hip-hop?

Why is Schoenberg not romantic?

Why is Stravinsky not medieval?

Why is operetta not opera?

Why are mini-skirts not A-line dresses?

Why is a 1935 Aston Martin not a vintage car?

Me, I'm formly wedded to the idea that wrds have meanings, and teh more accurate they are thenthe clearer communication is. But I think I may well largely sit back and see what others think.
