I mentioned that once (the case of punk, specifically). But then, if you want to start doing that, you could take it even further and have hiphop as a form of rock. Nah, I think using rock too generally is very risky. Best way is to leave VERY conventionalized genres as they are and with their own label, in spite of the point that they were borne out of rock music.
