What annoys me is when people (especially on youtube who) mislabels things, e.g. saying something is Rockabilly when it sounds like Surf music. It's as bad as calling California beaches "Appalachia." Another thing that is annoying are genres that are actually retronyms and weren't used during the time-period e.g. "proto-Punk."
Sam Dunn does both such non-sense and takes the cake with his Metal Genealogy chart.
