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

  1. Keep all 22 genres or choose the Dance or Calm preset.
  2. Spin and read the genre that lands.
  3. 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.
