Genre Brainstorm

In lesson we was asked to break down the different types of genre. What have I learnt is that there seems to be more sub genres of rock than there is of anything else. This may be because I know the most about that genre but others in the class who are not known to listen to rock seemed to have known the same sub genres that I listed. There are different styles of rock and rock has been around for a long time which may be why the rock genre has more sub genres from the others.

The other genre which seemed to have a few sub genres was dance music. This is interesting as I would think that dance music is the most recent genre out of the ones I have brainstormed. Dubstep is also very recent. Dance music could be argued to be the most popular genre of music in society at the moment. The stereotypical thought of dance music is the music we hear in clubs, however we now hear these sub genres of music on the radio.
