Is it just me or are they pretty stupid. I mean they just seem to exist so that crap bands can have more respect than they would normally for being average in that genre and copying the more important bands in it.
It makes the band sound like they are doing a set job rather than being creative if they give themself a really set genre.
Another thing about it that bothers me is people over do it. For example someone passed me a leaflet promoting the opening of some gay club (I am straight by the way) and it was advertised as having a room where 'cheese' music is played.
Hmmm, what next cheesecore, cheesegrind, melodic death cheese, viking cheese, post hardcore experimental cheese?
I guess I'm gonna get flammed for this. I do like the bands that have complicated genre names but I just don't see that it adds to it at all.
Please explain if you think I'm wrong.
Their are some big ones that are ok: classic metal, black metal, nu metal, death metal, power metal. Even those are a bit much though.
