I mean wax tailor is an electronic musician too some would say, but do you find a resemblance between what he does and this? genres (electronic, rock, jazz, classical...), even sub-genres (hard tech, acid, trance, minimal, boogie, grunge, metal, fusion, funk, soul, baroque, romantic...) helps define a certain type of music production, period, mood, but it's only about giving a global idea, they don't always fit to describe, as a lot of artists try to innovate and not fall into classifications.

@wmotamedi well you do also look like a smart ass know it all... i for myself would say musical genres are a way to give a slight idea to someone who doesn't know about the artist/band concerned about the music he does, but are not accurate enough to fully describe it... the limit between all of them remain unclear for this exact reason i guess... i wouldn't say i outsmart you though... (but i'm thinking it real hard :p)

Chillax, bro
