live looping, etc.

The meaning of a word has a limited lifespan.

This is true even of such "physically defined" words as METER (as in "the
distance is 1 meter") whose definition has changed over time.  Then read
some Shakespeare and tell me what it means, after all, it's plain English.

To paraphrase Rick: What is, IS.  But IS only now.  Eventually, what IS is
what WAS.

So relax, maybe we can decide what STYLE, GENRE, LOOPING, LIVE LOOPING is.
And tomorrow it will be different.

Words are supposed to AID communication.  Hang onto a word after it ceases
to communicate and soon you'll be talking to yourself.  Be prepared to
discard a particular word when needed.

Words about technology and "techie things" seem especially slippery because
technology is changing so rapidly.
