nevertheless, alex, at some level, there is a general
pattern involving certain musicians and the sounds
they make, whether or not you care. Names aren't
intrinsically bad things--often they are very helpful.
Some people in the world hear about a type of music
called "IDM" which involves certain bands associated
with it and get curious--maybe they investigate and
hear something they like. But if that nametag
generalization didn't exist, that person would have to
do a whole lot more work to find out about that music
that you so obviously care a great deal about. Spread
tha word mah brutha.
