Maybe so, but my mom probably couldn't tell the difference between 2
Unlimited and Autechre either. But point taken. I don't think it's really a
big deal anyway. It happens just as often, if not more often, in most other
forms of non-electronic music. People just scrutinize because this "genre"
is more personal to them. I think all country music sounds the same....but
country music IS all the same. My wife left me, my dog died, my bottle kept
me company. I know I'm being ignorant...I'm sure you can break country down
into as many subcategories as we break all electronic forms of music. I just
don't care.
