Fun Fact
Studies show that people typically listen to music from only 3-5 genres regularly, even though there are hundreds of music genres available. The most popular genres worldwide are pop, rock, and hip-hop, but exploring lesser-known genres like jazz, classical, or world music can lead to discovering new favorite artists.
By The Numbers
The average person listens to music for over 4 hours per day, but most people stick to the same 20-30 songs in their rotation. There are over 1,000 recognized music genres worldwide, from mainstream pop and rock to niche genres like vaporwave, shoegaze, and math rock. Random music genre generators help listeners explore the other 95% of music they'd normally ignore.
