Hi, Kestrel, welcome to the list. I think genre labels help because you

slipstream stuff, that which makes a stew of ideas and partakes of more

Scott,
A wise choice--I'm currently in the middle of such a debate on another
list
because a number of people claim genre labels are arbitrary and useless,
and
I keep insisting that you need a way to be able to find the books.
