Why is there so many genres of music?

Answer 1

everyones different

There are many generas of music because there are a varitey of likes and dislikes. The dislike of one genera made the like and creation of another genera. Hope I helped! =]

ps.I LUV HORSES.

You cannot be more incorrect. There are not "MANY" genres of music. It has NOTHING to do with who likes what.

There are basically three GENRES. 1. Blues. 2. Jazz 3. European Classical Music.

All the "GENRES" being bandied about are labels, brands...styles of music named by those who SELL the music. Like a brand, They impose their "labels" on a style of music in order to sell it. Rock and Roll, Country, Funk, Hip Hop, Electro, Dance, Metal, Deep House, Dub Step are NOT genres, they are styles of Blues Music. "Labels" imposed by shopkeepers, record executives, promoters...those who do not make the music.

1. The use of Call and Response tropes

2. The music played in a percussive manner

3. The use of the Blues Form (see the one, four, five)

4. The use of flattened, or Blue notes in musical composition.

When the music has departed from this criteria, a new GENRE would evolve. Again, it has nothing at all to do with the whims of the consumer.

Uh - YOU could not be more incorrect. Only THREE genres of music?? Hardlly. That sir, is patently ridiculous. There are DOZENS if not HUNDREDS of musical genres, and I don't just mean "styles". Not only "Blues, Jazz (which is by many scholars an offshoot of the Blues, and "European Classical" (what about Brazilian or South African classical music? What about symphony music being written today in dozens of countries on six continents?

I would suggest this - on Wikipedia, search for the "geneology of musical genres".
