Hi I have been reading these boards for a while as a guest and decided to join, but I have to ask-why is there a constant need to label music and give sub genres?.
Of course you need to de-classify music to a certain extent, but when I explain a certain album to a friend etc-I need to simplify matters. Pigeon holing music into specific areas makes music lose it's appeal IMO.
For example-THE BEATLES- no I'm not the biggest fan, but how can you really classify them? POP?-YES! ROCK?-in their day-YES! EXPERIMENTAL-yes!, AVANT GARDE-yes!. So what sort of band are THE BEATLES?
They are a more complex band admittedly, but surely we can reduce the genres?
Music should never divide people-it should bring people together.
