Formats are going to change because this is what the people want. It's not what the labels want.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think it's one of the Times' problems that they haven't made it clear to readers what various formats mean.
I never liked feeling like the world needed to have labels on everything, whether it's people or categories of music. I think everyone should be what they want to be, and you shouldn't have to look a certain way in order to fit this mold or that mold.
I think part of what happens is that small labels want to get bigger. And bigger is not better.
It's horrible when people are only interested in buying labels, because it doesn't bring them the happiness they think it will.
I think putting labels on people is just an easy way of marketing something you don't understand.
Genre labels are useful only insofar as they help you find an audience.
I don't think any of us like to be reduced to just one label.
I think that's the problem in a lot of music. We've got these record labels.
Writers never feel comfortable having labels attached to them, however accurate they are.
Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.
