Answer 7

Genres are defined by people, and consequently are largely subjective. It's like asking "how many types of flavors are there?".

In my opinion, infinite.

Answer 8

Agreed

Answer 10

@april115 I think you're definitely right

Answer 11

I think there are 23 :)

Answer 12

@mmoul18 You are painfully wrong, and obviously being facetious! lol :)

But in my humble opinion there are only 7 "REAL" genres of music. Maybe less. Each 'genre' outside these is really only a stylistic variation of the first 7.

:) And the possibilities of stylistic variation on musical motifs, are quite infinite. There are as many as there are stars in the sky.

Answer 13

To me, they are as follows:

Classical (Realm of Opera, Orchestra, 1700's Composers, etc.)
Jazz (The experimental, improvisational realm)
Funk (Realm of sour notes and hard beats)
Rock (Realm of guitar + bass guitar + drums + vocals)
Pop (Realm of manufactured music)
Hip-hop (Realm of poetry>melody, AKA "flows" or "rap")
Club (Realm of DJ's, lasers, glow-sticks, and candy-kids)
