That's true. I should really stop worrying about the genre labelling. I get offended when bands I like get labelled with a name that did not exist when I first got into them. In my lifetime it happened with at least 3 new genres: Emo, Grunge, and Post-Rock. But it's a pretty dumb thing to worry about. Like you say, many innovative bands eventually got a new classification and/or sub-classification.

I'm still pissed that, having been a fan of Fugazi for about 17 years now, never caught a live show.

I'm pissed that I didn't appreciate Fugazi more when I saw them. I usually spent most of my time trying to keep myself from being squeezed to death by sweaty moshers and just wanting to leave. The outdoor show I saw was best 'cuz you could spread out - but then you were far away from the stage. The Sacred Heart basement was a horrible space.
