Something that annoys me about some musicians is how they get angry when you classify their music according to certain genres. This seems to be really common among post-rock, for example. A lot of the classics of he genre get mad that people classify them that way.
In some cases (such as with bands like MONO), it's understandable because there's so much more to their sound than the typical traits of the genre, but more often than not, it just feels like a pretentious "we're above genre labels" statement. That's extremely annoying to me. #music #musicstr #postrock
