i am rehashing all this again not to defend "rockism" as a term per se -- it always seems to me a joke insult rather than a real one -- and more to get at the role it plaed in how i think about stuff, and (as you would put it) what is therefore at stake for me in clinging to it long after it (in its frutiful-error way) perhaps got me where i needed to
the "genres muffling other genres" seems to be pretty key to me -- to my aesthetic nerves -- in that i flare up when this occurs: what's THAT about eh?
