I'm not terribly good at distinguishing styles at a micro level, but it's not something that really bothers me. If other people want to compartmentalise music in that way, fine, but to me it's just music, and some of it I like and some I don't.
To carry on with the earlier example, noise and drone can be fairly difficult to tell apart to the non-afficianado, but with most genres you're going to find some blurring of the boundaries, aren't you? That's the whole point of the game, it stops us from getting stale.
