Lol, and RYM calls Burial future garage too. What the fuck is future garage?  This is funny. I like genres, they're silly things. |
Future garage makes total sense as a genre label if you know about UK garage (the 130bpm strand of dance music that was the foundation of grime and dubstep).

Also, I would like to say calling genre classification blatantly ridiculous feels wrong to me. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean there is a method or legitimacy to it.

You have to admit that some of these genre names are downright hilarious, though.

Only if you lack an understanding of context or origin, sure.

The best thing I ever did for myself as far as discovering new music and being able to have an open mind was to completely disregard genre labels. I was limiting myself because I was allowing the label to get in the way of me listening with both ears and my brain open.
The result of this is that I don't care what genre an album falls into. If someone throws a rec my way, I'm going to listen to it without having an opinion about it beforehand, which may (or may not) influence my feelings about what I hear. What I am able to listen to and enjoy has increased a lot, and increases every day.
Genres? Don't care.

Brostep also makes total sense. It does exactly what it says on the tin. I don't see what makes them funny, they're both perfectly valid and logical genre labels.

This is why I sometimes wish that genres didn't exist. They really do get in the way for people new to the world of music. Being limited to one genre just isn't a good thing, at least I don't think so.

I don't know, I found them a bit humorous. I apologize, I now realize that that was a bit out of place. I didn't have the correct context, I'm sorry.
