    Well-written article, though I disagree with you on more than a few points. First, the worst isn’t metal, it’s electronic/techno. Every month, there is a new style of electronica coming out from across the pond (I’m assuming you’re American). The real techno nerds can differentiate between all the different styles and that’s what brings me to my second point. Genres and sub-genres aren’t for the hipsters, they’re for the music nerds like myself (I was directed here thanks to my Google Alert on the Fiery Furnaces) who use these differences to quickly explain the influences and location specifics tied to a certain band or sound. Anyone listening to music because said music fits whatever label isn’t a music fan to begin with.
