I wasn't saying that the label came before the lifestyle and vibe, just
that the name 'Acid Jazz' was a name that was taken for a label. The
term Acid Jazz was kicking around before the label was, but now that it's
a label's name, it seems to be silly to use it as a term to describe a
genre of music.
