Some (institutional) authors will invent any (institutional) terms in order to write their (institutional) books put out by (institutional) publishers.

Subject: institutional electroacosutic music anyone?
Hi all - I've just got hold of a copy of Listening through the noise by Joanna Demers (OUP ISBN 978-0-19-538766-7).
She states that she uses metagenre in the book - [paraphrasing slightly] an organisational grouping illustrating affinities amoung the many genres of recent electronic music. She identifies three such metagenre's...
1. institutional electroacosutic music
2. electronica
3. sound art
Question is - how might one feel about the first one? I suspect many of us probably know and understand what she means but as a metagenre contains multiple genres is there really an institutional electroacoustic music? How do we (well, those in 'institutions') feel about being assosiated with such a metagenre? Does the large patch of water between Europe and North America have anything to do with our/my interpretation of such a term/phrase? [as we can't agree on many other terms/phrases - electroacoustic, acousmatic etc.].
Just interested...
Cheers,
Rob
