SalsaShark:
I seriously have no clue about the different genres of music. Call me an idiot if you must, but please clarify for me. To me everything falls into like four categories, Country, Rock, Pop, Rap, and Classical... so really I don't get what goes into what subgenre, so if someone could explain to me what makes one thing emo while another thing's indie while another things something else I'd really appreciate it.

Inlander:
I think you're better off not knowing.

Johnny C:
Just classify under "good" and "crap." Don't bother with anything else besides basics or conversations with "normies" make you feel like a tool.

c1utch:
Haha, well at least you don't confuse classical with "classic"

ie:
 "I like classical music"
"Oh me too man, Zepplin is a god"

hah.  

Genres do kinda impede just enjoying music.  I don't like the country genre, but there are songs that could be defined as country that I like.

I guess genres tend to define a group of people's taste in music rather than the music itself.  

But think whatever you want about them, we all have our own way to label music types.

SalsaShark:
Yeah, genres can keep people from listening to something they might otherwise like. Like my friend doesn't like country, in fact, she says she can stand it. Then I play a "Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisley and Alison Kruss one night and she's like "Oh my god! This song is so pretty!", it's something she never would have listened to otherwise.
