Symphonic’s genre listing
As part of reuploading my catalog to streaming, I’ve had to deal with Symphonic’s… less-than-ideal user interface, and one of the biggest pain points is how they present their genre listing, with a hard-to-search and super-inconsistent two-pane interface that makes it hard to find a specific genre unless you know which particular category they decided to put it in.
Fortunately, it’s all just data, so I was able to scrape the interface in order to get their current (as of March 19, 2026) genre and subgenre list.
This is subject to change, of course.
I am not interested in discussing the merits of these genres (or anything missing from the list) or how they’ve opted to categorize them; I’m just the messenger.
