As humans we label everything. We put things in boxes to make understanding easier. We notice color, shape, etc. no equivocations. The argument could be made that if your listening to rape (a genre that consists of three topics: drugs, sex, and killing) you are a vulgarian with no respect for anything. Then again i could be labeled as a metal head. I do listen to Slayer occasionally which screams about killing, ethnic cleansing, and much more. I don't however do any such things. I listen to Billy Joel, Simon and Garfunkel, classical music, and other genres that are completely contradictory. I think it is irrelevant whether i find labeling right or wrong because we will inevitably and inertly do it. Music is a part of us, it is not what we are...obviously.
