genres that don't sound like their name (to you)

i guess what i mean is a little broader than the thread title, but for instance: when i was very young i thought that the term 'pop music' referred to the sound the snare drum made, my points of reference being the fine young cannibal's 'she drives me crazy', michael jackson's 'man in the mirror' or elvis costello's 'veronica'.

and today, when i hear 'bop' or 'bebop', i imagine music in the ilk of louis jordon, 'choo choo ch'boogie' or something.

would anyone else like to admit to anything like this?

Acid jazz... I always expected it to be, er, I don't know. More acidy.

Adult contemporary. I was thinking swearing, porn and gore, all I got was Phil Collins and David Gray gnawing gently at my earlobes.
