Definitely. It just seems like the kind of label that becomes
a 'genre' but causes alot of confusion as to what it means.
I just think is funny because other producers who
play off of desktops (vsnares, doormouse, abelcain...)
don't get grouped in or the same exposure. It would
seem stylistic, except the folks grouped into 'laptop'
music hardly play the same style anyway.
