Do you know what Post Grunge is? What about Metalcore, Post Rock, Trip Hop, Hardcore, Post Hardcore, Doom Metal, Grime?

yeah, they are all stupid sub genres that can be defined with other genres and can also be easily mis-defined. genres. are. stupid.

QFT

I found that out the hard way, someone asked what genre i liked when i was younger, i said "Rock" (as thats the genre most of my bands get labeled with), they thought one of two things, 1) that rock meant stuff like Metalica (no joke, he actually said "so like metalica and stuff"), 2) that rock is stuff like Panic at the Disco (what another idiot thought i meant)

seriously genres are beyond insane, they put The Beatles, Queen, Metalica and Fall Out Boy in the same genre half the time, music channels are worst for this, whenever they have "Rock Hour" it could mean anyone of thoose bands will be played, insane. 


When someone asks me what genre I like I just say bands names. Rock is so broad. and it can interpreted differently to other people. Genres are however anyone interprets them and to one person it could mean a different thing.
