How Many Music Genres Do We Need?
jonsmaradon: Music is the uniting force that ties audiophiles together in a cohesive bond. Despite our component preferences, regardless of our proclivity to espouse or dispute competing technologies, music is the end result and the finish line in our pursuit of a hobby. Simple though it may sound, we love music and want it to sound as natural and emotionally involved as possible. Despite how we might arrive, musical nirvana is our ultimate destination. Needless to say, audiophiles typically have more than one musical preference both stylistically and by content. I’m sure at some point in time the term to describe music was just that – music. Maybe it goes back to a time when classical music was simply called music, maybe even when Cro-Magnon Man was banging on the walls of the cave with a bone to impress Cro-Magnon Woman. I can’t say for sure. But certainly, there was, in history, a time when we had one “genre” of music – and that genre was “music.” Somewhere along the way, however, we began to apply different labels to different types of music. Wikipedia defines “musical genre” as a “conventional category that identifies some pieces of music as belonging to a shared tradition or set of conventions.” Having these types of defining categories allegedly makes things more simple. They purportedly allow the listener to easily identify the difference between what good ole’ Mozart and Beethoven were banging out on harpsichords and pianos in the 18th century, as opposed to what a modern band might be creating today. Genres give all music lovers a frame of reference. Genres, in general, are helpful in describing sets and subsets of something. Take food for instance. In the US alone, we have any number of food types – American, Italian, Mexican, Asian, and so on. Within those main categories, there are other, more narrow descriptors that help define which restaurants you should avoid and ones you should visit. Even cars have genres – like the easily recognizable difference between a sports car and a luxury sedan. If you'd like to know more, please follow this link - Music rock edm psyche pop
