Re: Why genre classification is not only necessary but desired



So when I turn 50 in November I have to sell off most of my record collection?
(Given the exorbitant rates at which I'm paid by the various members of the 
Jewish press, I may have to do that sooner.)

  Remember:

  If you are over 50, Klezmer means simcha music and recognizable songs in 
Yiddish.

  If you are under 30 and on the east coast, it means experimental instrumental 
music involving the minor mode.

  Beyond this, it's anyone's guess...
