Ambient April: Day Nine

   12 The Ghost Inside by scchica

Here's a track by "space rock" duo, Broken Bells. It's crazy what they call a genre now. But what's even worse is the people who get mad about it. I mean come on, it's just a name. If you don't use it the name shouldn't affect you right? If people wanna call certain rock groups with futuristic sounds and space visuals space rock then so be it.

Legions of fans are trying to create connections, name a new genre that wasn't there before. Then there's the backlash of older fans saying that all the genres have already been named or that new genres are invalid. Why isn't their a group of people trying to do opposite? Why don't we band together and do away with genres? They're simply names, names that make people close minded. I remember a good label, music. Let's do that just call it all music. No more names. No more fighting. No more close minded ignorance.
