>Whats that all about? Why does it need to be so segmented? So that when I look at a party in my area I can know if its a party where artists will be playing progressive psytrance or forest psytrance. Because they're different. Is this so hard to understand for you?

But why does the music at the party have to be so specific?

  Because people like different music and the different genres sound different. If you don't think they sound different it's just because you haven't refined the part of your brain that can discern the differences for this type of music.

    But a good party should introduce people to new experiences, no?

      I go to psytrance parties reasonably often because I have friends who are into it, but I hate psytrance personally. Different strokes for different folks.

      Not necessarily. If I were attending a party with some Avante Garde/Post-Black Metal and suddenly a band broke out in Djent or rap-rock....I would find it a highly jarring and unpleasant change in atmosphere.

  "have to be", "need" Says who? You can describe your party as psytrance, or just trance if you have to. I have an event in my facebook feed that just says "hospitalization" and a list of djs. I know what kind of music they will play because I know the organizers and djs, but it would still be helpful to write an bigger description. You're all stuck on "micro-genres" but when I'm looking at a new dj at some event I expect a full paragraph describing their style with a soundcloud link with some dj sets. Maybe the fundamental difference is that with a dj or even a producer you can't just download an album and see how they sound: the actual set will probably be unique, and in tune with the party. And yes I do want to know vaguely how it will sound.
