Cause we like to talk about things with other people. And when I ask somebody what is a party going to be like i'd rather they tell me techno, then "stuff sort of like that Aphex guy spins but not so much of those beats from that One Song with the 'Amen Brother' riff in it. labels is how we's communicate. I'm glad that each time I talk to someone I don't have to establish the semantics of all terms pertaining to our discussion.
