I can't come up with any names right now, but it's bands with those Cookie
Monster "demon from hell" kind of vocals, the kid bands that think
Jagermeister and Pabst Blue Ribbon are the ultimate in fine spirits and the
Vans Warped tour is the zenith of success. I answered an ad a while back
that said something like "keyboardist needed for progressive rock band" and
it was like we were on totally different planets when I responded to it.

Was the R&B misleading labeling question regarding the heavily produced,
rap-influenced Beyonce-type radio stuff that is out now? I've never been an
R&B person, but I've been wondering how the music that I hear referred to as
that style currently is actually going over with fans of the traditional
styleset, because this new stuff sure doesn't have much similarity to the
old.

Which only makes my question more relevant, are people today just too lazy
to come up with names? Sure, language evolves and labels are elastic, but
this practice is as misleading as calling cats dogs.
