I was dismayed to discover the existence true pop punk. Is TR00 POP PUNK the next big scene trend??? | STUFF YOU WILL HATE
"Authentic country", "real hip-hop", and now "tr00 pop punk"... will they never stop? What genre is still free of people who want things to be exactly like they were 10 or 30 or 300 years ago, only with all the fun removed?

when you look at the massive number of genres today, it's even impossible to be sure in what genre you find yourself.
we should have stopped inventing new genres in the 80's.

Can genres be helpful when distinguishing between general types of music, such as jazz vs. rock? Yes. But genres are also incredibly limiting, blinding and divisive, especially when one starts arguing about all kinds of narrow sub-sub-genres with few (if any) significant differences. The metal scene is particularly bad about this...

| | | | Us musicians hate being labeled as "funk, country, hip-hop etc.." but seriously, how would you sell and or market music if you didn't put it into a catagory? Remember, to us it's a passion but to the labels it's BUSINESS.Period.
Come on, we all know those guys:
"Hey, bro my music is like, you know, like Outkast meets Tom Waits plus Southern Gospel with a little Eastern Europe Gypsy Music in there..." Great bro! but how do you market that?

Anyone that comes along after that who strays away from the "true" style far enough to be recognisably different, yet not far enough to get other bands to copy them and create a new "true" genre, gets labeled as noname miscreant deviants. Until they hit it big and then everyone copys them, morphing the original genre, but a significant number of fans of the "original" genre will hate them forever. Witness Nickleback.

And we were grateful!
