Exactly! Take the whole "metalcore" scene, for example. There are so many idiotically-named subgenres - "thrashcore", "crustcore", "deathcore", "tech-core", even "calculus-core" - based on infitessimal formulaic differences that few listeners notice anyway. Why can't it just be HEAVY METAL?! :confused:

Same goes for jazz - when the genre tag on a Bunk Johnson mp3 file reads, "1940s Dixieland-Retro-era swing", you know things are getting out of hand.
