Ah...I see your point. Given your explanation, I stand corrected on the inaccurate terminology; I see where it can be misleading. The only disagreement I [personally] have with your post is that I think that the originators or grantors (i.e. ~ The College of Arms in England and others of the like) should have their designations and rules be acknowledged as a valid minimum standard for that item; even if we don't reside in those countries. Maybe it's just the way I see things. For example, I see Bob Marley, Burning Spear and Toots & the Maytals as "genuine" reggae; Sublime, UB40, and Ace of Base is "modified reggae"....while No Doubt, Madness, and
D'Yer Mak'er by Led Zeppelin sort of resembles reggae...but is a whole new thing really. But if they want to say they make reggae music (anyone listed)...that's fine, although the statement could be challenged on many grounds (which I'm sure they could understand).
