+212 It's annoying when people refer to bands as 'groups', amirite?

Band-a musical group, usually employing brass, percussion, and often woodwind instruments, that plays esp. for marching or open-air performances. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/band

That's the second definition. Here's the first: a group of instrumentalists playing music of a specialized type: rock band; calypso band; mariachi band. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/band

I didn't say it was the end of the world, I'm just saying it sounds kind of weird.

I'm not sure. It just doesn't sound right to me. And it looks like most people agree.

I usually associate "band" with rock and related genres. I say "group" for hip hop, rap, R&B or other genres.
