Oh, and I'm probably not the first person to get sick of classifications. I remember when I helped out at the shop after I left, and I had people come in and ask for 'Emo-core' or some such - I just told them where to go...
OT RANT!
I hate trying to classify music. If anyone now asks me what type I like, I just say "Electronica" as it's so wide ranging from Gary Numan stuff in the 70's to Pet Shop boys, to Rave to The Prodigy to Sneaker Pimps, Massive Attack and Roni Size. Even then that doesn't take into account stuff like Fleetwood Mac, UB40, Dire Straits or TRex.
I tend to go on a song by song basis rather than a group or whole Genre, I just like what I like.
It also makes it harder to find out songs that I might like. My 2 younger brothers have it easy, one likes Drum and Bass, the other likes this Emo "Punk Rock" nonsense, and can find out new tracks through certain channels (sites, magazines, friends). Me, I hear something I like and spend 3 years trying to find out what it is... :-(
