To add to what I was saying in my wall of text above, sometimes subgenres are riciculous to the point where you can't even argue about what they are anymore. All you can do is laugh at them. Example: "Caninus":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lom6PXAyJD0 (labeled as 'vegan dog grindcore', probably the only band from that subgenre in existance) To add to what I was saying in my wall of text above, sometimes subgenres are riciculous to the point where you can’t even argue about what they are anymore.

bq. How about we forget them? Attempting to define a band into a genre simply creates snobbery and hatred. Not attempting to define a band into a genre makes it harder to find similar music to music that you like, and it makes it harder to avoid music that you don't like. I don't see how classifying the way a band sounds by comparing it to other similar sounding bands is a bad thing. bq. I’m not saying we have to like all music, but don’t hate based on what the press calls a band. Besides, most bands fit multiple genres anyway. I agree with this statement, but I don't see what this has to do with forgetting genres altogether. Every genre has good and bad music, so I can listen to a song from a genre that I don't normally listen to as long as it's not horrible. I can also hate a song that's from a genre that I normally would like if whoever made it can't make good music at all. bq. For example, when somebody makes a “Best metal band” thread, the minutes somebody mentions System of a Down or Slipknot the entire thread goes to shit with a bunch of uppity kids trying to say that respective band is not metal. To be honest, it's really hard to stop that from happening. Mainly with Slipknot, their image sells to people, so a lot of people consider them overrated because some people buy into their image more than their music. There are a lot of arguments about them not being as good as people act like they are, and their more unintelligent fans make the band (and the rest of their fans) look stupid. Usually one of their more unintelligent fans will talk about how they are the best metal band ever to exist, when lots of people will disagree and wonder why they are so popular. Those people will either explain why Slipknot is overrated, or they will insult the fan by saying that what that person listens to isn't even good enough to be considered any kind of metal. However, a lot of people will just call them Nu-Metal and label the whole subgenre as bad, usually without giving it a fair chance. bq. Nobody really knows what genre anything is Nobody knows what genre anything is? I'm assuming from that statement that you are saying that every song in the world sounds the same. Since every song in the world sounds too similar for anyone to compare them, I guess nobody can really tell the difference between these two songs: "Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcL---4xQYA "Cannibal Corpse- Hammer Smashed Face":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMBNNFObSM0 Nope, I hear no differences between the two songs. bq. and generally most people will say any band they don’t like is not a member of whatever certain genre they do. It’s a bit like saying, “Will Smith sucks, making him no longer black.” It get ridiculous quickly. To be honest, I don't really see this much with any genre outside of metal, and that is because metal has probably hundreds of subgenres. I don't ever hear anyone saying that a rap song that they hate isn't rap or a pop song that they hate isn't pop. However, I do see a lot of metal fans getting confused over the several subgenres of metal that exist today. Some of the subgenres are influenced by other subgenres, and sometimes there will just be one or two traits of a band or a song that put them into one of those subgenres. Usually when people find out that a band that they don't like is part of a subgenre that they do like (still shares a lot of the characteristics of it), they will think that it sounds different enough to be a different subgenre. They aren't thinking that every genre has good and bad music, and instead they think that it belongs in a 'worse' genre if it sucks. From your whole post, I am assuming you have recently visited a thread about metal where Slipknot/SOAD was mentioned, causing people to say the bands aren't good enough to be metal because they personally dont like them. I agree that it does get ridiculous quickly, and it's a pointless thing to argue over. tl;dr- Music genres are helpful, but people who fight over genres are not. <blockquote> How about we forget them?
