Ah but just because someone does something, does not mean they have a need to do it. I think we do it for fun.
As a music devotee I find it very satisfying to compare and contrast music. Compartmentalizing it by genre and style is nothing more than that: a way to compare and contrast. I personally would not favor a method that asserts Metallica, Beyonce, and Slayer are all just "music" when it seems clear to me that Metallica and Slayer have a lot more in common with each other than they do with Beyonce. I find categories, while not strictly necessary, extremely helpful.
