I'll Never Understand Musical Genres

Cory Branan


I thought maybe it was time to put together a new play list, so I went off searching for tracks on Rhapsody.  The genres of the songs that came up amused me.  I was surprised by the variety and by the nature of many of them.  Some were simple and frequently used, like Vocal Jazz, Folk, Pop…  Then there were other genres that I knew, but that it was hard to tell the difference between.  Like what is the difference between Americana, Folk Pop, Alt Country and plain old Folk?  And there were the bizarre ones that I had never heard of. What about Pop Punk, Post-modern Pop, Adult Alternative and Alt/Punk?  What are they and what is the difference between them? Anyway, here is the play list.  Enjoy!
