If a label had taken the name Be-Bop the genre still keeps the name. The
use as a genre is stronger than is for the name of the label, agreed? And
in fact, the genre /style will continue for years to come whereas the label
will likely to pass . I'd like to add that I don't intend to be
adversarial on this, I just think it's an inapproprite understanding of the
term.
