Okay, first of all I am going to thank you for being extremely reasonable. I was just being, as Chaotic Tyrant said, very defensive. I am usually like this when I feel undermined. I now know that you did not intend it in that way at all, so I am sorry for believing that you did.
I ran with the notion of genres in order to point out the fact that for me, music doesn't have a genre. Essentially I was using the idea of genres to explain why they needn't exist, as I believe that they are just constructs that aid people in seperating things; and nothing more. To me a piece of music doesn't sound 'classical' or 'electronic', it sounds good or bad. My dressing up of the comment is essentially me trying to explain what my intentions were.
I posted a really long winded explanation about the logical flaws in the argument, and have deleted it. I was going more than over the top with the discussion. But I've studied Philosophy of Art and have pretty strong opinions on this subject, so perhaps I should have toned them down slightly. I basically didn't accept the jump from defining a genre to accepting that means one must exist. For me music is no different than any other form of art, I for instance love the artistic movement of Romanticism; but that is just me playing by the rules of genres, as that is what people do. I appreciate that type of art because it is good, not because it conforms to some form of criteria that makes it a certain genre.
Okay, that's fine. I respect anyone who sticks to their guns, and that is certainly what Chaotic Tyrant did.
Once again, I have to say that I am sorry for being so sensitive about this. I wasn't trying to be so defensive, but after leaving and coming back to the thread I can see that is what I was actually doing. I'm sorry for reacting like I did, and making this a potential issue. I really believe that you know a lot about music, I just took the thread from a different angle I guess.
