Genres & Tags

Use genre pages and tag links to move from broad style browsing to more specific descriptive discovery.

Genres and tags solve different discovery problems. Genres are the broader style buckets. Tags are narrower descriptors attached to specific tracks or collections.

Genre Browsing

Genre pages are currently powered by the channel system, not by a separate genre-only search page. In practice this means a genre route can show different layouts and content mixes depending on how the channel is configured.

You will usually reach a genre page from:

• A genre link on a track or collection page
• A genre module on the homepage or another channel page

What Genre Pages Can Include

• Track rows or cards
• Collections
• Producers or other related discovery modules
• A genre radio action
• A custom beat request banner at the end of some genre channel pages

Tag Browsing

Tags are clickable labels on tracks and collections. They are useful when you want a narrower descriptor than a genre, such as a mood, style reference, or production label.

The current product also exposes tags in search results through the Tags tab.

Best Use Cases

• Start with a genre when you know the broad sound.
• Use tags when you want to narrow the vibe after you already found a relevant track or collection.
