I would think that most individuals agree.

Actually, I tend to disagree. Labels are essential. Words themselves are labels, being references or symbols to objects, concepts, etc. Also, music would be very confusing without labels. I mean, would you like to go into a record store, tell them "I want something dark and heavy, but I don't like labels", and they'd give you a Britney Spears CD. How do THEY know what's dark and heavy without a genre label. Consider that. It's much easier for me to ask for some 80's goth rock than just say "goth". The way I see it: the more specific the label, the better.
