[edit] Stop changing the genre

Stop listing rock as a genere of Emanuel. Yes, they are rock. And so are half the bands in the last 50 years. Only list rock as a genre if they honestly can't be classified in a more specific manner. Emanuel are a post-hardcore band, a relatively specific genre of rock, and more specifically punk rock, therefore there is really no reason to add rock as a genre. - Razorhead March 31 2007

Is that really a reason not include a genre, if it applies to this band as well as to many others? It's commonly done on Wikipedia to list first a more genereal genre, such as rock, hip-hop, etc., and then to list more specific styles, such as ska punk, christian gansta rap, post-hardcore (see e.g. Red Hot Chili Peppers, New Found Glory, Something Corporate, Justin Timberlake). --HarryCane 14:17, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
