I read this interview with hed(pe) where they said they call their style "G-punk".
And yet it's clearly rapcore. I don't know what makes them think they have the right to assign genre names arbitrarily like that.
MTV and VH1 do the same thing.
So do radio stations. And magazines like Rolling Stone and SPIN.
And catalogs like BMG and Columbia House. And music stores. And record labels.
Do you ever get that feeling like you're holding contemporary culture together through sheer force of will?
