Spot on. There is a difference between descriptions and labelling and the
trouble is a lot of people don't know the difference. I've had instances where
me or someone else says eg "its a heavy funky garagey kind of groove..." and
some idiot says "is that the new genre?" like trying to take the piss. And
other people just can't seem to survive without making up labels for everything
and trying to pigeonhole, so "digifunk" is probably a label for something
similar to the above description, but I thought that one died ages ago. "Ain't
No Love Ain't no Use" was supposedly digifunk, but then according to some, so
is most of what X-Press 2 have done. So the label doesn't really help at all!
So "Dark Ambient" can mean 2 things from 2 people. Some would regard it as a
genre, whereas I would try and use the word "dark" as a description for some
ambient pieces. I remember ages ago posting a message here titled "intelligent
jungle?" and what I meant was not "does 'intelligent jungle' exist?" but "is
some of this stuff they call jungle worthy of the description "intelligent" in
the context of this newsgroup? The consensus was "yes" but one or two
individuals started shouting about how there's no such thing as "intelligent
jungle" only hardcore or drum and bass or whatever!?
So we're drifting away from IDM as a pure topic here, but I just had to get in
my tuppenorth.
