Labels That Don’t Fit: When Categories Fail to Describe Sound
Staff Writer- Will Tran In the modern world of music—where a new subgenre seems to appear every week, and Spotify invents a few more playlist names every month that sound more like food descriptions (“Creamy Pop,” “Chill Vibes,” “Deep Focus”)—genre labels that once felt familiar are slowly turning into a joke.
