They're useful up to a certain extent.

I don't have a problem with grindcore or dreampop because if someone uses them as a term of reference then I have a pretty good idea of what i'll be hearing. Calling something ____pop or ____ rock is more a help than a hindrance.

When it gets ridiculous is when it gets broken down even more into unnecessary sub sub genres and people start arguing over something being post organic blastbeat punkcore post organic blastbeat metalcore. That's when it becomes stupid.

Or the notion that one band has to belong to one of these ridiculous labels and can't be anything else.
