The classification limits the perception like the Himbu color experiment.

That's why these early pre-language explorations are great.

Luckily there's a lot of independent artists these days that are exploring things and refusing to label them with an abstract genre.

We need our modern John Cages to feel empowered. I think it's important.

I was one of those independent artists and frankly it was sometimes a lot harder to get booked in the early to mid 00s because people started to identify themselves with those labels. The techno crowd were generally more open minded but outside of that things would often get ridiculously pigeon-holed.
