I'm into style as much as it gives me something to reference on my tap handles, that's about it. I only have one beer that I brew regularly, all the others I'm usually changing stuff up to see what I like, or if I liked something specific about a previous beer, I may up that in the next one to see if it helps or hinders.
I have no ambition to do competitions, most of my friends aren't really beer snobs and probably wouldn't know the difference between an IPA and a Pale Ale on paper anyways, so I don't really get too wrapped up in specific styles, other than, as I said, to have something to put on my tap handles. "This is an IPA, this is a Pale Ale, this is a porter, this is an American Amber, etc. I don't really even bother naming my beers other than adding the name of the hops used in the IPAs I make. I enjoy what I make, if someone gets that hung up on my beer that it doesn't fit a specific style, they are more than welcome to not drink any more of it.
Most of my beers probably fit into their respective style, but I have made plenty of Pales and Ambers that venture into the IPA range as well as making a couple lower ABV IPAs that might drink like pales.
