Just to clarify, I'm not for one moment suggesting that anyone has to understand musical theory to either play or enjoy music. I just started thinking about knowledge of musical theory because of the math rock thread, and the fact that, to properly categorise a band as math rock (if that's what you really wanted to do), you'd need to know a regular time signature from an irregular one.
I don't generally think of music as being within a particular genre, unless I'm in a record shop and want to ask "where's the post rock section", or something like that, but I wondered... something to do with genre categorisation... which I can't now remember well enough to put into words.
