Realistically, practically, if you look at the way music is organised in record stores - do you really want to sort through all the country releases to get to that Suburban Knight 12 inch? I can tell you also that the vast majority of labels come from artists themselves. Never underestimate artists' attempts to market themselves - and that's understandable. Eg. DJ Hell has claimed to coining 'electroclash'. I'm sure he didn't envisage what happened with that. Big beat came from Fatboy Slim! 'House' came from punters at the Warehouse. You could say media types often take things out of context, or that magazines exploit it, sure. Some of our most loved music was a 'trend' at one stage. Techno, New Romantic, whatever. I really think we have to start to rethink whether 'fashion' is a bad thing. Fashion = change = flux. It's not something the modern media created. It can be good and bad. What makes techno special is it ultimately transcended fashion to be tied to a certain era and beyond.
