Should we really be categorizing music in the way we do now? While there are certain names for music that multiple people have performed similarly ("Jazz", "Blues", etc.) that help us, is it unhealthy for the actual musician to pay any attention? I find myself writing songs, and feeling like they're not heavy enough, or they don't have enough pop hooks.
i don't think being heavy or catchy is a genre. it's just something you can do. that reminds me, have you ever tried food in the "tasty" genre
