Musical genres are hard to define. Take rare groove for example. In English, 'rare' stands for 'hard-to-find'. This, of course, is a loose foundation to base a genre upon. I bought my first tape with rare grooves in the UK on my first visit in the early nineties.
However, in this case we know who coined the term rare groove, it was Norman Jay's 'The Original Rare Groove Show' on Kiss FM - then still a pirate station that reintroduced seventies funk tracks and plenty of obscure rarities, coining the term rare groove.
