Good thread, GuitarBizarre. I'll speak honestly and say I have always been obsessive when labeling music, and looking back on it, I can definitely see how it could be problematic when describing a musician's work. It's a convenient, but... ineffective way of discussing and labeling music, so I think I might be on board with you.
However, I don't mind broad musical terms/genres (as you mentioned), such as: rock, jazz, classical, blues, folk, etc.
