Does it matter which track belongs to which genre?
I've seen arguments about which genre a track belongs to and even if one party is right, the other side still stands their ground.

Like, if I'm browsing the Detroit Techno section, and I get a HandsUp selection, I'm gonna' be rather miffed about it.

I wonder what it would sound like if Pulsedriver or Special D remixed Base Camp Alpha 808

Obviously it doesn't "matter", in the sense that feeding your kids matters, or stopping at red lights matters, or indeterminable micro fashion trends exhaustively detailed and debated over by insufferable NYC lifestyle blogs matter. But if you just allow every idiot to mistakenly call every tune whatever half-understood buzzword they want, you end up with scenes being polluted and overrun in the way progressive house was around 2009, or deep house in 2012, or tech house is currently. These words are kinda useful, even though the scene is badly in need of some new words being invented rather than relying on the same terms that were first used 30 years ago to describe music that bears only a fractional resemblance to the modern equivalents.
