Comment on What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them?
serpineslair@lemmy.world 1 week agoThey sound the same to you. While I agree that gatekeeping and snobbish "whell achtually"s are just pointless and annoying, they are still useful to people experienced within those genres to identify common styles and just as a fast and efficient way of describing the piece. The genres definitely have their purpose. If they have no use to you personally, don’t use them, that is fine, and you shouldn’t be criticised for that.
