Genre Families
Every genre here belongs to one of twelve families, and every family has somebody to stand for it.
Rock
Has not moved since 1969. Does not intend to.
Metal
Gets hit all day, and likes it louder.
Jazz
Knows where the one is. Is not telling you.
Electronic
Has forty knobs and has only ever turned three.
Pop
Three minutes in the heat, then everybody knows it.
Folk
Learned this one from an older acorn.
Blues
Woke up this morning. It went downhill from there.
R&B
Means every word, and holds the last one for eight bars.
Country
Three chords, the truth, and no hugs.
Hip-Hop
All bass, no volume knob.
Reggae
Comes in on the offbeat, and in its own time.
World
Has heard it all, in every time signature.
