The Names of All The Music Genres

Updated thoughts about the videos of this channel are in the pinned comment, posted on April 30, 2024.

Old description:

In this video, you'll find the names of all the main music genres that have been popular in recent decades. It would be a very long video if I had mentioned all the genres, but I included some of the most popular styles from western culture.

I'm not a native English speaker, and for most of my life before creating this channel, I didn't care about the lyrics in the music I listened to. But song lyrics have been slowly adding to the destruction of our society for decades. The fact that a bad idea sounds musically pleasing doesn't make it a good idea. Addictions, crime, promiscuity, divorces, revenge, telling lies, cursing, swearing, hating, making idols, taking lives before birth, and many other destructive behaviors have been spread and normalized for years through most of the things we consider entertaining. Be careful of the messages you let into your life.

Some people need to know that there is scientific proof that God exists. Causality and the principle of sufficient reason, to mention some, are accepted as universal, basically stating that everything has a cause and nothing appears by itself. Everything in the universe is subject to cause and effect, but whoever created the universe does not necessarily have to: if there was ever a time in the beginning where there was nothing, wouldn’t there still be nothing? Then it’s wise to admit that something or someone must have always existed, causing the existence of everything else.

Some people have been able to explain it better than I can, so I will just cite one of the clearest presentations of the gospel I have ever read, published by Living Waters in the Million Dollar Bill:

THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Matthew 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemous, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there’s good news. Though we broke God’s Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds (it’s no fairytale). He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Please, today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9). Then, to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it, join a Christian church, and be baptized. Visit NeedGod.com and LivingWaters.com

The mind boggling idea is that practically every single genre listed has dozens of sub genres

If you make a part 2 of this list, DEFINITELY gotta include some Jazz subgenres! 🙏

[miguelalexander]

Me, thinking that 'rhythm & blues' and 'R&B' were the same thing: 🤡🤡🤡🤡

[snookerwither]

Only thing I'd say to improve is to have more types of "classical" music. Most people seem to class any music from before 1900 as "classical" when there were so many different movements

[dundee]

I find it insulting that jazz gets a single entry but rock and electronic get tons of subgenres. Jazz has tons of variety too! There's swing, there's bebop, cool jazz, hard bop, dixieland, blues jazz, modal jazz, fusion, avant-garde, free jazz, soul jazz, jazz-funk, nu jazz, third stream, acid jazz, electro swing, and so on!

[Lol-wk]

As someone who loves almost all genres, finding this video is like finding treasure 😍

[arturoromero]

Not only you need to have an accent to sing Country, Your Guitar also needs an accent

[angelmanuelofficial]

Very good video, I loved it. Greetings from Lima, Peru.

[realreptillianjesus]

Missing some genres but let's be real this video would be 2 hours long if you included everything everything 😂 hope that you can make another video about it to list some of the ones you missed.

[mgentile]

Excellent compilation! As a musician may I add to your list: Acapella, choir, church choir, Christian church organ et al, Death metal, "New Orleans jazz/blues" (don't know the actual name but that city has their own sound), and African tribal drumming. Ever hear a dozen African drummers each playing a different pattern? Sounds like a beautifully syncopated stampede of sorts ... no words! Technically any form of tribal dance and celebration can also be included ... many of them don't differentiate between music and celebration. I can't wait to show me kids this! thank you!

[aidahc]

Obviamente faltaron géneros musicales, pero qué buena compilación.
Por el lado de la música latina faltan algunos subgéneros de la música ranchera y géneros de sudamérica, y del continente asiático falta mencionar la música japonesa de la que destaca el city pop, tampoco podemos dejar de lado el kpop que si bien no a todos aquí les puede gustar, su producción actual es muy grande como para dejarla de lado.

[LuisFlores-rgnr]

This Is a real list, most of the ones that i have seen are wrong, but yours Is awesome. My favourite music genre Is metal!!! 🤘

[mariacordeiro]

This is such an amazing list! Also appreciate all the comments pointing out missing genres. I think this compilation is great for most of the mainstream genres already known worldwide, although as a Portuguese person I can point out that our traditional music is missing, called FADO (amongst many other types of Portuguese music), and as a result of that, I'm sure that many other traditional types of music of many other countries are missing too, which could also be an interesting research 🙂
