How closely do meaningless musical genres share their names in different countries? I hear a huge range of music being called electronica or techno in the States, and I don't know what I'd call it but I'm sure people here would break it
down into a million sub-genres.
that seems to be a British thing. we Americans tend to not have as many "sub-genres", musically speaking, as Brits.
that's what i thought
i wonder why that is?
once again, i'd like to blame the NME (i'm using the NME as a blanket term for all music papers, magazines etc as in general i think they're crap - and mixmag and muzik and those magazines seem to be responsible for inventing the names for most of the "[stupid adjective of the week] house" genres) -- "Malt does more than Milton can To justify God's ways to man." - Housman, A.
