Mellotronists

It's common.  The same can be said for Punk,
Indie, Garage, Hardcore and dare I say, Rock and Roll.
 
     As far as beig too lazy to come up with names of
their own, trust me, they're quite busy:  Postpunk,
prepunk, dirge, doom-metal, postcore, slag, protopunk,
grindcore, postwave, preprog, postprog, progpunk,
reggaeton, IDM as well as the aformentioned R&B and
more.  The techno catagories will make your head spin.
     There are more categories because there's more
music.  There are as many names for God/s as well,
with the same unfortunate result.  Once you create a
sect, you create division.  Back in the 70's and 80's,
when you met somebody who was into "Punk" or "Prog,"
and you liked that style, you pretty much had a new
friend.  Very general.  If you had a show, you could
advertise "punk rock" and all the area punks would
show.  The same could be said for a marquee saying
"R&B review" in the 60's.  Now it's far more complex,
and as a result, harder to fill a room, much less sell
records.
     Trust me, folks, I make my living trying to sort
out this mess and I'm still suprised daily by a new
moniker.  The key to good music is integrity and
belief in what you create.  Whether Americana means
country or bluegrass, or Goa means techno or
industrial, it's about having a foundation for
creativity.
