It seems like tags might be a better solution to classifying music than over-broad categories like "rock".
Making genres more specific and granular just makes categorization more confusing and contentious. But use of multiple tags to categorize a song could allow different people to simultaneously apply the labels they prefer.
Or perhaps a better solution would be "x sounds like y, z, etc."
