No. You've only illustrated that
you feel there are too many subclassifications to be useful to
you. Besides... they don't all
need to be useful to the general public to still be useful (and even valuable) to many.
It's not a requirement that the general reading public have a complete understanding of what every single subgenre or subclassification means. Nor should the general reading public need to fall back to some sort of least common denominator approach to genre simply because some choose to let themselves be overwhelmed by variety/change.
