sketchyjoe:
I really don't like people who say "Oh I hate classifying music. Can't we just call it music." Genres and subgenres are there so people can find music to similar to the stuff they already like otherwise you'd get conversations like.

"Can anyone give me some music that sounds like Bob Dylan?"
"Anal Cunt. They both use guitars all the time."

+10pts for Bill Hicks.

Sturge:
I only listen to haircutcore 8)

a pack of wolves:
Genres and subgenres are also not always just about music. To me, hardcore is an entire subculture, it's not just about a particular sound, and I've often heard people talk in the same way about hip-hop, reggae and many other genres.

However, I really couldn't begin to answer this guy's question. There are too many genres in existence to run through them all, and many are contentious (i.e. someone mentioned 'screamcore' which I assume must be another term for 'screamo') or uninteresting to many people. If you've never been able to pick up on genre differences then I'd just run with it and not worry too much.

Hatebunny:
the whole subculture thing bothers me.
Sure, I can see people having a kind of kinship based on the music they listen to, but at the same time, it disturbs me that people dress a certain way, or talk a certain way, just so that they fit into the subculture.

I wear the clothes that fit, and that I like, I talk the way my mouth makes words come out, and I listen to music that makes me feel a certain way. I don't see why it should go beyond that. Crazy little fanatics.
