Actually, I just think that some people forget that language is alive and changing and that the meanings of words can change over time. I mean "kickin' boots" ain't talking about footwear.  Common usage is the most powerful way of defining something.

Same with "nuevo".  If someone refers to nuevo style, every single person on this list and many more outside of this list knows what is being referred to.  Trying to argue that nuevo is not a style is moot.  It's grown beyond what Chicho or Fabian say.
