What music genres does Spotify support?

Spotify doesn't currently use genre information from providers, although it may be ingested and used in the future. If the provider wishes to submit genre information the following rules apply.

1. Please use this list of genres as a reference. Keep in mind that the genre list could change at any time.

2. The first genre must be the best description for the content. A second genre isn't always required, but please use where applicable.

3. Genres must be listed separately. Don't list more than one genre in the same field, such as “Dance/Electronic”.

4. Genres must be listed in English and mustn't list a translation of the genre.
