the use of genre names

"Genre is more than a formal constraint; it is an essential
component of making meaning"

My girlfriend is working on a paper in university for her
rhetoric class. I read the before mentioned quote, and
thought it was worth making a post about. Let the flaming
begin.

no need to flame..I think this is coming from more of a
semiotics..narrative study POV..this is genrally used for
visual arts..Genre study has been done predominantly in
Cinema...where the unifying motifs become visual
shorthand..but the fun begins when these visual cues are
used by auteurs to bend, subvert and reinvent genres...

quareling over genres is the most boring thing there is. if
you don't like them don't, vice versa.

Big difference between a quarell and a discussion. If you
don't like discussions, what are you doing in a music
messageboard?

complaining that genres shouldnt exist is silly. we make
words for everything. maybe you cant universally describe
music in words but its just for convenience more than
anything. I dont suppose its essential to have genres but
for it to have not happened would be absurd, i think

well im not here to quarell genres
though i like nitpicking over them ones in a while. but it
makes a lame discussion subject is what i think. lame and
bad
genre is just a genre when enough people think so imo

so you have ebm (see wikipedia) which means song orientated
industrial i think. but imo it's industrial. because when
you use ebm you say the other industrial is like noise. but
imo that's why there's the genre noise. when something is
enough noisy it's noise.
end of discussion

dumb people feel their fav kind of music is only recognized
when it has a genre name of its own. lame, unimaginative
fuckwit people

You guys complain too much. I just posted this because I
read my girlfriends paper, and thought it was relevant to a
discussion that happens here practically ever week. I was
hoping it would foster discussion, not bitching. I guess
people would rather make up innane words that sound like
autechre titles.
