was thinking about this in relation to "drag" (in my oppinion a very good genre name) and "witch house" (the same genre, but not so good name...)
go here if you have no idea what im talking about
http://pitchfork.com/features/articles/7806-ghosts-in-the-machine/
and how it seems that bad genre names tend to stick somtimes, despite or possibly because of their awfulness.
such as
Niche - good name
Bassline - unoriginal to say the least
Uk Funky? thats barely anything as a name
and as for anything with the "intelligent" prefix...
Grime is one of the few that i think is good and has stuck.
any thoughts?
