I'm not a big fan of house music, but I love Drum 'n' bass and Jungle, these are branchs off the ever growing religion which is 'Acid house' who knows how this type of music lifed but it got some followers and became big. This leads me to the point, how come there are so many different types of one music?

Big Beat House
Hard House
Jazz House
Acid house

WHAT? it's all the same stuff, they just have different instruments! this is why I stick to rap, or Hip Hop, there is a big difference but everyone thinks of them as the same, what makes the definaition? What makes Rock different from indy? what gives you difference between pop and kiddy pop?

Yeah, a very fikle business, i'm trying to get into it myself but only time will tell. I think most bands like to be called 'Indie' bands, Blur and other great bands were indie and I guess it's just a kind of easy listening Rock style that they like.

So its a corporate attempt to create non-existant genres and increase revenue?

That did help, can't believe it's such a thin line. shame.

Indie is just a term that is loosely (and wrongly) used to cover a lot of guitar based bands. In reality, 'Indie' means anything that is released on an indepenedent record label. There is a lot of dance music on the official 'Indie' chart, and going back afew years, all the stuff released on PWL (the Stock, Aitken & Waterman bands - Kylie, Sinitta etc) were also in the indie charts.
So, any type of music can be 'Indie' - it just depends on the record label it is released under. The same song can be indie on it's first release, but not indie if it is then re-released on a major label.
Hope that helps!!

Fogmaster, what exactly are the differences between Rap and RnB?

Whenever i listen to the Rap show and Trever Nelson on radio 1, half the songs they play are the same!
