Then your powers of conception are very very limited.

I enjoy the variety and volume of r.m.misc.  My (honest) opinion is informed
by 7 or 8 years active participation in net.music/r.m.misc, countless rehashes
of the "split" discussion, 12 years in alternative radio broadcasting, more
years than that of music collecting...

Widen your view and you'll see that there are still a few of us out here who
like to think of music as music, and not as a bunch of genres strung together
end-to-end.
