1) Does music being categorized in genres really matter?
As several people have said before me, Yes, to an extent. Once the basic, Rock, Pop, Rap, R&B and such is covered, after that, it's really just a different flavor of the genre
2) Do you care about what kind of music you listen to gets labeled as?
Not really. I listen to so many different forms of rock, that I don't really care wheter it's called Grunge, Proto-Grunge, Alternative Rock, Thrash Punk, Punk, Funk, Metal, Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Soft Rock, Pop Rock, Glam Rock, Hair Metal, Country Rock, Southern Rock. For the most part I'll listen to anything rock.....except for emo bands like MCR, and even then I can find tracks I like in the genre. (MCR and the Used both had some Really good tracks, as an example)
