Most people tend to enjoy putting things into categories. This goes here, and this goes here. One or the other black or white. Most people I believe aren't necessarily wanting to do these things, its just an automatic response in humans to easier make sense of complex things. It creates limitations within ones own mind, trying to place something in a category where it doesn't belong. Certain people are places into categories as well as stories and types of art. Certain forms a music are seen as cool in one era and them boring in the next. These social cycles tend to move back in forth between generations. This doesn't necessarily only mean music, it could mean fashion, language, or pretty much anything that isn't set and stone. This isn't necessarily a bad thing per say , in fact It can bring people together, find a common conversation topic. It brings generations together, and can separate other generations. This is when conflict can be created through misunderstanding and relationships ruined. Ironically categories seem to have a grey area within theirselves, meaning the effect of categories is exact opposite of what categories end up to be in the first place.
