“‘Genre racism is being deleted. I don’t think genres are going away. Obviously it’s a way of understanding music and music history. [But] people are less concerned with what type of music it is. They don’t question as much. It’s more about texture, about style, about context. It’s one aspect of the new music economy that you’re able to source anything, which is cool. You also have a degree of amnesia, too, that at some point, this wasn’t all available. Some people say, ‘Oh, I used to have to do this and that.’ That was a great way to learn about music, but that doesn’t mean it was the only way.”
