It makes for good categorization. However, you need to be careful about that, because like several forms of stereotyping, it can cause problems.

I don't really blame anyone, because it's natural to feel strong about your opinions when you really enjoy something, but I always try my best to respect the interests and opinions of others (to the people who deserve it anyway).
I was just referring to the video. As previously stated, I'm quite fond of the band. Truth be told, I throw that word around a lot, probably without proper definition. Either way, I like the song quite a bit (I love music with dark themes), but I find the video hysterically laughable.
