Genre Research

As a class we came up with over 20 different types of music genres which wasn't much of a surprise as there are hundreds of music genres. Throughout time more and more music genres seem to have stemmed off of one another, some collaborating together and some being completely new. There are always new genres emerging into the music scene.

The genres I thought of from the top of my head included: Rock, Alternative, Indie, Pop, Dance, Club, Trance, Drum n Bass, Dubstep, Electro, House, Funky House, RnB, Hip Hop, Folk, Heavy Metal, Punk, Country, Jazz, Blues, Rap, Grime, Garage. These are just a few of very many genres.

When asked to pick a favourite, it proved difficult as I have a very varied music taste and I feel that many bands fit into more than one genre. On the whole though I mostly enjoy Alternative/Rock, Indie, Electro/House and of course some cheesy pop classics.
