I've seen this comment come up so much when people talk about genres. Not sure if you're one of those type of people. People saying genres are ''just labels'' and a bad thing. People saying genres are unnecessary. People saying there's only good and bad music. Especially that last one ticks me off, because music that's not your cup of tea can still be good music. quality does not equal enjoyment.

Good luck easily finding out what music you have in common with people.
There's so much music out there, and even people who love all kinds of music have certain genre's they've just explored a lot more than others. It will especially be difficult around people who don't listen to a million artists like music fanatics do. Good luck easily describing a bands sound.
Good luck trying to find similar artists. Good luck easily exploring new kinds of music. Good luck finding info on certain types of music. And if you're in a band that makes their own songs, It would also help you find out what's already been done a lot in the genre, and expiriment with different sounds.

it annoys me when people are extremely and way too nitpicky/specific with subgenres, but It also annoys me when people act like genres as a whole are pointless.
