Genre classification, order, and differentiated anarchy: I believe all genre classification constitutes a deductive negativity antithetical to the project of making art. This is from a performance by the band Torchbearer at ABC No Rio, a wonderful art and activist space on Manhattan’s east side. I guess they’re, um, hardcore? Or something? I thought they were hardcore awesome. In the past twenty-four hours, I have seen a number of different musical acts. More to come.
