Why not ask those ever inventive guys at the Wire magazine, who 
seem to churn out new terminology with virtually each issue :  
there's Electronica and Jazz, Avant Rock, Modern Classical, 
Global, Critcal Beats, Out Rock... in the end it's still arbitrary and 
one man's Avant Rock is another man's Critical Beats - or 
something.

I'd have to agree with Andrew C's comment:
