Over the past week and a half I decided to update and organize all the music on my computer. Make sure spellings are correct, release year, record label, etc. As well as labeling the correct genre. After being halfway through "C" I already have added about 20 new genre. Why can't metal, just be metal. Is a band going to be that upset that I don't refer to their music as Atmospheric Post Blacked Sludge. Should I go back and just label everything as metal, or continue and see how many ridiculous genres.

Good for you, but what I'm saying is that subgenres are useful for people with less eclectic tastes. When a genre in itself is too vast and puts Incantation and Jinjer in the same bucket, you need subgenres to distinguish them.
