“stomp and holler” for me means early clash. my roommate 16 years younger said “the lumineers” (?). my mom said the rolling stones lol. i think everybody gave up trying to identify with genre when stores gave up with a resigned “alternative” label. one alternative is as good as another.
I’m sure this is an obvious point, but one of the significant distinctions Carolyn Miller relies on in “Rhetorical Communities : The Cultural Basis of Genre” (a follow-up to “Genre as Social Action”) is that between taxonomic and relational communities. In her sense, taxonomic (i.e. statistical) communities are antithetical to the communities that constitute genres.
