OK... after a rather sensible post criticising metal elitists, you go all metal elitists on me. What for? I don't care if Rammstein are inudstrial rock or industrial metal.
The only real use of genres is for quick reference - "What kind of music do you like?" "Oh, metal" - and for arraning music stores in an easy-to-follow fashion.
Despite the fact that half the ones I've seen ignore this, prefering a corner somwhere with a sign saying 'Rock/Metal', while all the stupid R&B and Hip Hop CDs take up four aisles at the front of the store.
Thank god for Fopp! (That's a really good CD/DVD/Video/Book store in Britain. They sell stuff at good, cheap prices, and don't just sell commercialised crap... possibly because they may speciffically sell the crap that no one else wants).
Now that went off topic...
