Bob,

I don't think it's an issue of being realistic.. you used several genre names to describe yourself and when you did, people probably got a reasonable idea of what those songs might sound like.. that's the benefit of genres. It's like saying that the food you are going to get is a pasta dish with red sauce.. it could taste a lot of different ways, but it's helpful to know that's it's pasta with red sauce none the less in case you like or dislike that as a food. Knowing it's a folk novelty song gives someone a starting point.. it means not to expect an industrial death metal instrumental right? As I said above, I am not looking to suggest people are right or wrong.. just to learn what people think about genres and how they define them.

I've already found some interesting points in this discussion, hopefully it will continue. I will check in again from Portland, OR.
