Genres can be useful, for example i use them to keep everything tidy on my ipod.
However genres can be a little bit generalised..
here comes my emo rant..
the modern representation of "emo" is completely wrong.. how can bands such as Panic at the Disco be classed under the genre of emo, when emo is really Emotive Hardcore?
and why do i have to be labelled because of the music i listen to? i am who i am.
thats just my 2 pence worth (yup, im English
).
