You know that some genres (or sub-genres) are made up and weren't by the bands and fans at the time, like for example "proto-Punk." To paraphrase Richard Lloyd "Television didn't go around calling themselves a "proto-Punk" band. The word didn't even exist back then. "Neutral Milk Hotel describes themselves as "Fuzz-Folk" I'm not sure they ever considered themselves as Freak Folk.
