Genres and Sub-Genres of Music Videos

Here is a Prezi I created as part of my research into genres and sub-genres of music videos:

In this presentation, I only focused on 4 of the main genres of music, and two of their sub-genres. There are of course multiple main genres, and a variety of sub-genres that I did not cover. Below are some examples.

Other genres, and their sub-genres:

• Jazz

- Contemporary jazz

- Smooth jazz

• Hip Hop/Rap

- Bounce

- Alternative rap

• Classical 

- Impressionist

- Opera

• Dance

- Techno

- Dubstep

• R&B

- Motown

- Funk

Hybridisation...

The hybridisation of genres is becoming more and more popular, with hybridisation of genres creating many of the sub-genres of music that we know today. Whereas before, artists would specialise in one genre, hybridisation allows for artists to delve into more types of music, whilst maintaining some of their recognisable sound. This also allows them to still appeal to their already existing fanbase, and also appeal to other people, to attract a wider audience.
