Well I generally agree with the OP.
Electronic music has too many genres. The genre and the convention on creating genres is killing creativity IMHO.
If I told my mom that I listened to GOA I would get a blank stare. The name means nothing to her, or millions of other Americans, only a select group on this and a few other forums.
It is great that different acts sound different, but do we really need to create a new genre every time someone makes a new kind of music?
In other forms of music it is not uncommon to just say "they sound like the Rolling Stones" or he sounds like ... musicians will always show their influences.
Well I probably wouldn't be able to convince anyone so I'll just stop here.
