All music is not created equal! Some songs are so good that they fit into only one genre. For example, most people classify Taylor Swift’s latest song as pop or upbeat music because it has catchy lyrics and sounds beautiful. However, she also includes some soft guitar pieces in her song, which make it sound more like rock music.

Other examples of songs that have been categorized as both hip hop and rap include The Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and Jay-Z’s “Rock In Love.” Both of these songs contain very rhymey and repetitive lyrics, making them seem more hip hop. But then there are parts of each song that use an instrument such as the bass, piano, or drums, which makes it sound more like rhythm and blues or even jazz.

Some artists develop their style over time by experimenting with different genres and types of music. For instance, Adele started out writing mostly acoustic ballads before moving onto harder styles. Justin Bieber first sang mostly pop songs, but now he adds other musical elements to his repertoire.

The number of genres in music can be confusing at times. There are actually just five main ones! So why do we have so many? And how well does this theory hold up in practice?

This article will talk about the five major genres in music, what makes them separate categories, and the differences between each.
