Why does everything have to be dissected to death? Music is just music no matter how many intellectuals want to sit around and navel-gaze about it.
There is still one standard that they all have to live by: If we don't like it, we don't buy it.
Since we all sat around the cave camp fire and banged on whatever was handy at the time, music has been a subjective thing. I like what moves me. You like what move you.
What music ISN'T is a group of marketing types designing a box that panders to the snobbishness of others. That's just marketing - not music. And the snobs who think they have somehow avoided the crass commercialism of the rest of the genres are just in denial.
