Subgenres in Music: The Art of Sound Segmentation

Hey guys, it's like a bustling bazaar out there in the world of music, with so many colorful subgenres popping up!

You've got your rock, but then there's punk rock, alt-rock, and even yacht rock (for those leisurely sailing days, I guess).

It's like a never-ending party in our ears where every subgenre brings its own bottle, and trust me, it's all popping!
