How do you see musical genres?

[tgpo]

How do you picture the various genres of music? Tell us here.

Here's how I see some of them:

Metal: I see metal as putting more importance on playing fast than having meaning. Guys who favor looking "hard" and "satanic" put fashion above message.

Pop: Corporate swill. Mindless music for mindless people who are okay being told what to like.

Electronic Music: Beeps and Bops. Computer music with no emotion and heart.

Punk: Rapid music with a message that is easy to break into, but easy to mistake pop for.

Rap: Music with a message that is easy to break into, but easy to mistake pop for.

Indie: Trying to do a lot with a little and failing 90% of the time. Anyone with a recorder and a guitar can label themselves Indie, and all it does it hurt the genre as a whole. There's a lot of crap you have to search through to find the good stuff.

Classical: Old music to fall asleep to or use royalty free in the background of a PBS special.
