So what I'm saying, is by classifying the bands, you can classify the band and easily find more similar bands to enjoy thanks to this classification.

I'm not saying I'm against genre classification period, but fine-grained classifications and people getting uptight about "correct" genre classifications seem ridiculous to me. I don't need to find other artists that are playing the exact same rhythms, tempos, etc. When I want "more like this" I ideally want "something kind of in this vein, with some of these rough features, but interestingly different, too (and ideally interestingly different than anything I've heard before)," which goes against the grain of really fine-grained genre classification.
