A curated Spotify playlist for every music genre — 6,296 genres, key artists and the sound that defines each one.
The big music genres — each a curated playlist, the key artists and the BPM that defines the sound.
A music genre is a category that groups songs sharing a common tradition — a set of conventions in rhythm, instrumentation, tempo and cultural origin. Genres branch endlessly: a single family like House splits into deep house, tech house, acid house and dozens more.
Below are the main families. Each links into its scene and its playlist — and from there into hundreds of related subgenres.
The sound, the history, the key artists and a playlist to hear it — the same four things for every one of 6,296 genres, from the biggest families to hyper-niche regional scenes. How Dropo is made →
