List of music styles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list is split into four separate pages:
- List of styles of music: A-F
- List of styles of music: G-M
- List of styles of music: N-R
- List of styles of music: S-Z
Music can be divided into genres in many different ways. These classifications are often arbitrary and controversial, and closely related styles often overlap. Many do not believe that generic classification of musical styles is possible in any logically consistent way, and also argue that doing so sets limitations and boundaries that hinder the development of music. While no one doubts that it is possible to note similarities between musical pieces, there are often exceptions and caveats associated. Labeling musics with genres often discriminate based on race or time period. Larger genres consist of more specific subgenres.
