[|(Wikipedia) Category: Music genres]

Although Wikipedia should never be used directly for research assignments, it can provide interesting overviews of topics and serve as good starting point to look for additional sources. Featured here is a comprehensive look at musical genres and their subgenres. Each genre and subgenre carries with it certain characteristics, though some genres blend into others and precise division between them is not always possible or necessary.

Under "music genres", click the plus next to "music by genre" and then "musical subgenres by genre" to unfold the extensive list. See if there are new styles of music that sound interesting to you.
