I've heard The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza described as "groove tech grindcore" and Dance Club Massacre described as "synth dance deathgrind."

Regardless of how accurate those genres are I found them funny.

Seems like a bit of a wank to me. What's the point?

i draw the line at two words. besides, 'groove', 'tech', 'synth', and 'dance' are being used as adjectives rather than hardline genres in those cases.

the point is that when I want to listen to Electro I don't want something like Ratatat coming up: they're not Electro. this would be impossible if I just tagged anything and everything that uses synths as 'Electronica', a genre which doesn't even exist. when I want to listen to tough guy I don't want to hear As I Lay Dying come on, but this would be impossible if I tagged it all as metalcore.

the truth is, subgenres are not things people pull out of their asses to sound pretentious. There is a distinct difference between brutal death metal and melodic death metal, between hardcore and punk, between electroclash and electro.

I agree that subgenres are important, but I only split my music up into these categories:

Punk
Hardcore
Emo
Ska
Metal
Indie

If I want to listen to something more specific than that I'll just choose a band.

The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza. Now that is a good band name.
