Music Genre Wheel
Spin for a random music genre — to build a playlist, to start a song or to settle what to listen to.
Tip: Ctrl + Enter (⌘ + Enter on Mac) runs it, from the list or from the page.
How it works
- Keep all 22 genres or choose the Dance or Calm preset.
- Spin and read the genre that lands.
- Search for it in your music app, or write a song in that style.
What people use it for
Playlist roulette
Spin a genre for each slot of a party or road-trip playlist.
Songwriting challenge
Write four lines in the style the wheel gives you.
Music class
Each group presents one artist from the genre that lands.
Questions
- Are these the only genres?
- No. Genres overlap and new ones appear all the time. Edit the list, one genre per line, to add your favorites.
- Does the wheel play music?
- No. It only picks a name; open your own music app to listen.
