There are many categories. There are hundreds of categories for rock music alone, and there are at least 500 categories for electronic music. I can only tell you that the biggest classification is serious music and pop music. Now we mainly talk about pop music. The main categories of pop music are divided into one level: country music, folk music, jazz, rhythm and blues, HIP-HOP, gospel songs, Spiritual songs, rock music, pop bel canto, film music, world music, new age music, electronic music, avant-garde experimental music. (The roots of jazz, rhythm and blues, HIP-HOP, gospel songs, and spiritual songs all belong to black music.) Now let’s roughly divide country music into country and western music, bluegrass music, etc. The genre of country music hasn’t changed much. Folk songs mainly refer to folk songs from the 1950s and 1960s, such as those by BOB DYLAN and JOAN BAZE (not the original folk songs of various ethnic groups, which do not belong to the category of pop music). Jazz: There are many categories of jazz, and the main styles are There are: New Orleans jazz, RAGTIME, big band, swing, bebop, cold jazz, bossa nova, FUSION, hard bop, acid jazz, etc. Gospel songs: Gospel songs are secular religious music, which is different from church religious music. In other words, they are popular religious songs. Spiritual songs mainly include traditional spiritual songs and popular spiritual songs. Most of the popular mainstream music in Europe and America now is spiritual songs (as well as R&B, HIP-HOP). Rhythm and blues: Rhythm and blues is R&B, but it is not just the popular R&B we often hear now. In fact, traditional R&B is closer to rock music. The kind of blues rock, such as those by B.B. KING, and the popular R&B now is dance-oriented R&B rock. There are so many categories of rock music. The most traditional rock and roll refers to Elvis Presley's style that combines rhythm and blues with white country music. Later, after rapid fission, development and reproduction, there are now countless styles. Mainly classified into metal, punk, psychedelic rock, post-punk, post-rock, GRUNGE, country rock, etc. In the process of development, various styles intersect, multiply, combine, and fission to form various new styles, which can be further divided, so I won’t go into details here. By the way, the current domestic concept of rock music does not mainly refer to a specific music style. Mainly refers to independent music, which is different from the most mainstream commercial music. Popular Bel Canto. They are songs between pop and bel canto, such as songs by Barbra Streisand and Judy Collins, which are more orthodox pop songs. Film music is the original soundtrack of a movie, with a variable style, mainly a combination of orchestral music and electronic music. World music: It is the commercial development of folk music from all over the world. For example, Mongolian folk music, if you are the owner of a record company and you invest in these music records, then this music can be called world music. Essentially, it’s ethnic folk music from around the world. New Age Music: It’s just the sounds of nature that give you a fever. Mountains, rivers, sky, earth, ocean, sunset, breeze. When I say these words, you should understand what music it is, right? But in fact, new age music belongs to the category of modern instrumental music. Modern instrumental music also includes some pop songs played with musical instruments, such as the piano pop songs and flute pop songs you see in record stores. There are so many styles of electronic music. Electronic music is the fastest-growing music nowadays. According to statistics, there are more than 500 types. The main styles include HOUSE, TRANCE, TECHNO, DUB, DRUM & BASS, DOWN BEAT, etc. Pioneer music is mainly experimental music, including noise music, etc.
