Lesson #578 - Artistic Classification

Came across "magical realism" after hitting the random article button on Wikipedia repeatedly. If there hand't been any references, I would have thought the entire thing was a complete joke. I get that we need to make sure that EVERYTHING is classified, by why do we need to try to associate each branch with each other? A world where magic is commonplace in a world exactly like our own isn't really any kind of realism, it's still fantasy.

I just don't get classification systems, I guess.
