I have no issue at all with genre categorisation to describe what one is listening to when trying to explain to others who are maybe interested. When discussing music on a forum such as this I would have thought that most of us understood genres meaning even if we were a bit reticent about some genre usage.

I do have a reluctance to use the terms Indy and Alternative. I think that Indy has lost it's meaning. With the downturn in major labels taking on new artists most of what we listen to could be described as Indy. Alternative I have always thought was an odd term. Alternative to what?

But as suggested by others style or status has little meaning; the idea is to just enjoy the music in the end.

Don't let it worry you. I felt a bit foolish and bit back at the individual on another thread when I should have ignored.
