# Genre Channels

> See how BeatPass builds genre pages on top of the channel system, including radio and request entry points.

Genre pages are channel pages with a genre restriction behind them.

## What Genre Channels Commonly Include

* A large genre header
* Optional genre subtitle text
* Track, collection, producer, or nested-channel discovery sections
* A genre radio button when radio actions are enabled
* A custom beat request banner near the end of some genre channel pages

## Why Genre Channels Feel Different

Genre channels can use a more cinematic header treatment than a generic channel page, but they still follow the same channel rules underneath:

* Layout depends on channel configuration.
* Filters are optional.
* The content mix can change by genre.

## Good Use Cases

* Start with a genre when you know the broad sound.
* Move into radio when you want the genre to keep generating playback ideas.
* Use the genre page as a hub before narrowing further with tags, producer pages, or collections.
