Well I won't even touch the trance comment, but I will say that this is a bit silly:
quoted 7 lines You can always tell>You can always tell >a bad genre when there's waay too much subgenrefication. That >means >they're struggling for a way to claim they're diverse and >interesting, when >it's still the same formula with some snare rushes or different >keys.
So basically what you are saying then is anything that hasn't been around long enough or been innovative enough to branch off into sub genres is a good music genre. And the rest of the genres are bad because the people within it are struggling to reinvent a sound or expand the genre. Or are you talking about the fans? Do they make the genre bad by coming up with terms to further classify the genres simply because those genres don't fit under the currently used labels, due to reinvention and musical expansion. Dunno, doesn't quite float in my book. -c --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
