I really don't follow you, here.  Are you saying that there really isn't
much difference between the music of Sogar and that of Spears?  I wouldn't
think so, but your next paragraph suggests some skepticism on your part:

The only emotional buttons getting pushed seem to be yours and a few other
vocal people, here.  The description of the "term." series you and Andrei
claim is beyond the pale may be slightly wordy, but I find it pretty clear
in intent and entirely devoid of emotional baggage.

: Sorry, am I confusing the glitch sub-genres now?

I suspect you're merely confused, or perhaps I am -- I just don't see
the cause for outrage, here.
