Gwen Stefani and Pink Floyd aren't the same.

It's time to come up with some more genre-describing words. "Rock" "Alternative" and "Pop" are WAY too generic to describe music. According to my iTunes...

the following albums are "Rock":

• Gwen Stefani "The Sweet Escape"
• Aerosmith "Nine Lives"
• Alanis Morissette "Jagged Little Pill"
• The Beatles "Anthology"
• Beck "Sea Change"
• Dave Matthews Band "Crash"
• Fall Out Boy "Infinity on High"
• Jet "Shine On"

These are "pop":

• Alanis Morrisette "So-Called Chaos"
• Ashlee Simpson "Autobiography"
• The Beatles "Anthology" (a diff. disc)
• Elton John "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"
• Jack Johnson "In Between Dreams"
• KC and the Sunshine Band "Best of..."
• Madeleine Peyroux "Careless Love"
• Paul Simon "There goes Rhymin' Simon"
• Van Morrison "Best of..."

These are "Alternative":

• Beck "Guero"
• Hellogoodbye "Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!"
• The Killers "Sams Town"
• OK GO "Oh No"
• Snow Patrol "Eyes Open"
• White Stripes "Get Behind Me Satan"
• All-American Rejects "Move Along"
• Jem "Finally Woken"

Even Jazz seems confusing...look at these songs that are considered "jazz":

• "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse
• "Autumn in New York" by Billie Holiday (which I agree...this is what I think of as jazz)
• "Julia Ann Johnson" by H. Ledbetter
• "freefall" by Spyro Gyra

Since when is Van Morrison in the same category as Ashlee Simpson?
It's time people came to creatin' more words, because I think you'd agree that the artists on these lists don't sound anything like eachother.

I feel like in the last five years, the only new words we've come up with to describe a new genre of music is "emo"...well what about MIA? That should be like...hipster hip-hop...like urban outfitters hip hop. Let's come up with some new words, people!
