How is drone a genre? How? That makes no sense? Or does it? Surely 'drone' means a long continuous note/ chord? Surely that applies to several million things? Are Sunn O))) part of the same genre as the overwhelming majority of Asian music? Or large parts of African music? Or most European medieval art/ eccesiastical music? Or Irish, Scottish, Welsh, French, Spanish, Balkan, Russian (etc) folk traditions? Or large parts of Western/ East Asian 'avant-garde' music? Or early Electroacoustic music? [etc, etc]


I understand that some words are used in several sense, and that genres are often given confusing names, but is drone actually considered a genre by anyone? Am I the only one here who is utterly baffled by this thread? No offence to its progenitor, but I am mightily confused.
