I've never really understood why everyone makes such a big deal about catagorizing bands into very specific and limiting genres. Who out there only listens to one genre? What artist likes being shoved into a box? Of course genres still exist to help people find and follow music they may like, but as far as trying to define them in specific terms...? useless I'd say. Bands and music are going to evolve and grow and take from eachother regardless of genre, no one is going to fit into any mold or outline except the one they design themselves.

though, I'd have to say, the original post was fair and thorough, and if you have to define, thats the way to do it i suppose.
