MusicBrainz does not currently supported genres on its own, though some editors are using the tagging system for this.

Integrating genre support is planned though, see below for more information on this.

Genre support in MusicBrainz

Various places where discussion has happened surrounding the topic.

Lists of genres elsewhere

  • Rate Your Music - extensive genre tree, which mostly has good descriptions and occasional examples
  • AudioGalaxy (Wayback Machine, 2010) - not-as-extensive (and by now a bit dated) genre tree, which also features descriptions and example artists etc.
  • [1] In french we have the PCDM, who try to classify the music based on the Dewey classification.
