frmusic1-9, Exercise 3: The labels

Model answer:

Helpful: a label can describe a sound, an audience or a market, and it helps listeners and shops find music with shared roots.
Unhelpful: such labels can set the music apart from a supposed mainstream and keep artists who are French citizens or residents outside the national story.

Either side of the argument may be developed if a reason is given. The chapter does not settle the question.
