Scales, Sub Genres and Floating Flutes

There has been a lot of talk about genres and sub-genres in another thread. This got me thinking, while I was trying out odd scales for my floating flutes over dance drums...what are the benefits of classification in music? Indeed, are there any benefits? Do we sometimes restrict ourselves with limits to where we can stretch our music, so that it is more likely to be accepted by the mainstream?

Yes another talk about it and take it anywhere thread.......

  • I'm just about to market my own sub genre called Casio Camp music for old codgers and yes I shall be promoting only the use of old Casio tones and cheap Yamaha home organs.....I can see the money rolling in.....

  • It used to mean that I went right to the ROCK section of my record store, which was pretty much the whole store because that's what was awesome. Now, I feel, the use of genre has been mis-identified more often than not, thus rendering it useless.

    BTW, I think there were still some 8-track tapes in the other corner by the newfangled cassettes.

    I remember when our first Rock record store came to town, before that it was just Woolworths with its chart and easy listening selection!

  • The benefits are linguistic.

  • For me, the benefit of genres is it can reflect the relationships among musicians and their influences.

  • So language, communication, common ground and helps the marketeers. Some good thoughts. Any negatives?

  • I tend to identify with particular albums people have made more than genre when describing music. Genre to me is very broad and I keep it basic, likely because I am pretty antisocial by nature. It amazes /bemuses/stuns/digusts me how granular it can get for some people but aparently it can and it is real to them.

    Yep I used to just soak up an album. Play and play it until it almost became part of me. Now I don't so much...I wonder what changed?
