I think it's more about ease of communication. The music is already made, I'm just looking for an easy way to describe it to someone. If I'm talking to a fellow metal fan I could say "this band is really slow and heavy, with minimal drumming and vocals and very low and fuzzy bass and guitar played sort of in the tradition of Black Sabbath but much more experimental sounding in a sort of syrupy ambient way" or I could say "this is a drone/doom band". I think option B is a little easier. I don't think that diminishes the music in any way.
