Then there's trying something different a new approach. Widen your horizons. That's all I'm saying, try something else. I've listened to jumble, been there. I rose above that.
The record store I go to doesn't have categories. Everything is alphabetized. I never have a problem finding what I am looking for and I don't have to put up with employees or merchandising experts who have no idea what they are doing. Categories are for people who have no clue what they want.

Wrong!
I walk into a music store I don't want to wade thru a ton of stuff trying to find what I want. I head straight to where what I'm looking for will be. How about compilations?
Why not try that at the grocery store? How about Walmart/Target? Ya want a hammer, head off to the H's, wanna a saw go over to the S's.
You've learned to widen your horizons by embracing an approach to music that narrows your horizons?
You don't just "throw a bunch of stuff together". You can still make interesting, fluid connections in mixing music without regard to genre or time period or style. Putting together a mix of depression era folk blues or 70's singer songwriters is easy. Anyone can do that.
How can I be wrong? That's how the store organizes music and that's what I prefer. I don't buy hammers and saws at the grocery store. Nobody does.
You rose above nothing. There was nothing to rise above.
You make the assumption that my horizons are narrow. They aren't. Making a value statement like "I rose above that" is the an hesis of "widening your horizons".
Avante's need to feel superior extends to mp3 playlists.
Alternately, you might try: "I tried something different. I think it's a cool way of listening to music." You likely would not have garnered much resistance. At least not from me.
You should see my 8-track playlist! It takes about 10 shoeboxes tho.
You paying any attention at all girl?
I've done jumble...ok? Spent years listening to whatever....ok? You got that???? I needed something more than that....getting that? I wanted an experience not just a load of stuff totally alien to what came before and after. Who can't do that? I wanted to go someplace, a trip. So I did the work, found out what I needed to know. I can still do jumble, who can't? But how many can, Ice Pick and Razor blues, yep. blues about violence...well? Who has heard Louisiana Johnny and Kid Beecher singing...Razor Cutting Blues, who has heard Pegleg Howell....cut your throat mama, drink your blood like wine...?
Deep, is throwing together a bunch of stuff totally unconnected? Wow, complex!
I know your horizons are narrow. Prove me wrong.
That's extremely rude and disrespectful and a good indication that you are losing this argument.
No one has ever mentioned a disconnect in mixing music. That's in your head. Why are you so limited by genre and time period? It seems so pedestrian to me.
Avante's fascist playlist demands make me enjoy music less just thinking about it.
Limited???

You know absolutely nothing about me. I don't have to prove a thing. I'm not telling anyone my methodology is superior. That's your gig and you've yet to prove it is superior in any meaningful way. Different? Yep. Better? To you.
That's all it has to be.
And when I do "mixes", I do them on one of these.
Sure I do, you don't go back to the roots, you don't know anything about who influensed who. You can't talk about music from a...what came first...perspective. You can't do it.
In this context, "narrow" isn't an insult. It's not a value judgment. If you have all the music ever recorded to choose from and you select only the songs that adhere to a particular mood or theme or genre or time period or whatever, you are necessarily moving from wide to narrow. Or from broad to specific. That's descriptive, not judgmental.
I had an idea you weren't getting it, yep!And when I do "mixes", I do them on one of these.
Never go into the woods, ok. You will get lost.
Why are you missing the point so badly? I ...evolved...beyond jumble. I once jumbled, we all start off like that. I've been there, done that. I could do it again, so why don't I? Yep, it's beneath me now. I'm way above that, I need something beyond what some 13 year old could do. I want a destination, not just a bunch of stuff tossed together. Like I said I started out that way, so why did I change my listening habits? Could it be because that method is too simple? That needs me to do what, yep....nothing. I wanna be involved.
If you can take something from all of those and put them on one mix, making fluid and interesting connections, I might begin to think about being impressed by you. Until then, you are an amateur and pedestrian appreciator of music who has yet to mention anything I haven't already heard of or listened to.
"evolved"
