Trust me more than the music press would go out of business without labels
for different kinds of music. It's next to impossible to sell new bands and
labels WITHOUT labelling them. It is essential to selling, buying, and
stocking of records. Musicians don't like labels describing their music
("we're unique--you can't label us!), but record labels, distributors, and
stores rely on them. Sorry.

I tend to go by labels, meaning the record labels. If I like a track from a
particular label, I check out as much stuff as I can from it. I tend to
organize my records that way too. I don't think labelling genres, and coming
up with new style names is necessary. It seems that all the artists hate it,
too. but, to each his own. The music press would probably go out of business
if it stopped coming up with new terminology.
