"emo", "rock", "pop", "rap", "alternative", "pop punk", "classic rock", "goth", etc etc....
There's always debate on whether or not using labels to describe music is good or not.
I happen to be in the "It's Good" camp.
I think there's no escaping them. As Americans, we tend to love labeling. Part of our nature, generally.
Some argue that music labeling is bad because it may bias the listener(?) That's a guess, actually. If it's something else, tell us what it rreally is.
I think it's good because it gives the listener, esp. a newbie to a genre an *idea* what they're in for. Also, if someone is looking for a specific sound, a label works FAR better than asking for "good music".
What sayeth ye? :)
