So, you are saying every musician who is turning out 'Jungle'
is innovative? How do you decide whether a musician is turning
out 'Jungle'? If I label my CD as 'Jungle' and get it put in
the 'Jungle' section at Tower am I innovative?
These are the sorts of questions which lead to my statement. It's
too hard to define the boundaries of a genre. So, I think it's silly
to define a genre as innovative (unless you play lingquistic games as
above).
