Genres are not bullshit. They give you an instant general idea what kind of work something is. If you wanted to hear either someone’s best classical recording of the year or best metal recording of the year, that simple addition of genre already tells you which one you’re likely more interested in.
To be clear, I am not in favour of discussions arguing what narrowly specific micro genre a piece of music belongs to. I’m only suggesting a single word is added as a guide. That’s all.
