Originally posted by PalynkaWell, I would agree that labels such as "alternative", "indie" or "experimental" are meaningless. But a label such as "rock" genuinely tells you something about the song structure. From a musical history point of view, I don't see how you could do without such labels. It's like saying impressionism is not a style of painting.
In generally, labels are for pansies who seek validation by exclusion. Like those who write "What JAZZ are you listening to?" or "What ROCK are you listening to?", the capital letters a product of their insecurity.
OT: Jesu.

So with jazz, blues, punk, riock, country, and gospal, where am I insecure.
I guess I don't get your point.
