Q: Hey, I was thinkin bout music genres... I can't decide if they exist or not. I think there are distinct styles of music.. but just cause these styles exist doesn't mean that every band or artist can/should be categorized by these labels. There's plenty of music that blurs the lines, and plenty of music that doesn't really line up with any particular style.  On the other hand though, there are a lot of bands/artists that do identify with a specific genre or style cause it has some kind of significance to them... I think there's musicians who are proud to say "I play blues music" or "I play punk rock" or "I play reggae" or whatever...  what do you think? Are genres completely, 100% non-existant? Why or why not?
A: you can make music any way you want, there's infinite ways to make it. you can also make up names for things if you think that helps, sometimes it does. sometimes the whole point of creation is to evade those names. sometimes the names mean different things to different people, and they almost always change after 10 years. i'm not sure if that answers your question
