Why are musicians like this?
>>128954241Sometimes a genre can be used in a derogatory manner like how so many nu-metal bands would get pissy if people called them nu-metal
>>128954241People most of the time that attempt to personify themselves as musicians are inept losers clinging to an opportunitistic friend group of 5-25 other locals that like the same bands as them. So naturally their squabbles are irrelevant.
>>128954241musicians who say this are usually the ones who forefronted the new genreto them, their "genre" is the scene they were in with their own twist, not a new one
Musicians usually hate getting pigeonholed

>>128954279same with shoegaze at least with it's start>>128954443also this
