    I don't even like the word "genre" applied to music. I just listen to whatever I want, as I many years ago tired of arguing whether the Undertones were punk or New Wave (correct answer = pop punk), and whether dub was better than reggae. Just listen to what the hell you like and don't waste your time trying to stick labels on it, would be my advice.

    • Yeah, I know but then what to do with the human need to label and compartmentalize? I love that someone even thought of "pop punk". Lighten up, pal. We live in a culture that sports words like antidisestablishmentarianism. We like to collect pokemons, genres and ten-dollar words.

    • Yes you do. Where did you get "pop punk" from?

    • It's a teenage thing. Such wordgames are the province of the young, and do not enhance the way the music sounds, at least not to me these days.

    • Without categories of some kind it is hard to discuss something as varied as music.

    • There are few categories though that aren't arguable. I found the arguments outweighed the usefulness.
