Yes, there is. Fruits and veggies are two different things, both are predefined by a name. So calling a fruit a veggie is plain wrong because there is a commonly accepted definition for both.
Labels are good for a lot of things. While it is true that you can change the definition or the name if the majority wants to, it doesn't change what it is. So regardless of what you call it, there still is a name for it.
If I had to explain to you what the danish word "kløpind" is without translating it, I wouldn't get away with calling it an object and expecting you to understand.
I would have to describe it further, thereby you have the use of details.
Music genres are details for music.
