genrism

today i will be playing some doom metal / drone with my friends.  its codenamed aggroslacker.

love it or leave it.

what i query to the young out there, is the idea of musical genres.  the idea itself really helps people find what they like (just as i post about playing music within these genre definitions).  what i have seen in the real world, is just the opposite, especially within the youth.  a common occurrence among questions about music, it is often to be heard something along the lines of "everything but country and classical" or something along these lines.

is this the same sort of idea as racism?  if we all hate something, will it disappear completely and will it have been a genocide, or is going to be with us forever, as part of history?

can we inspect these genres in a close manner, and see that there is some sliding scale from rap to classical, just like there is a sliding scale of skin tone from africa to europe?
