Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any links at all to articles etc about music genres and how different people class the same piece of music as different genres etc.

I've googled but only found articles and dissertations about how a computer could be used recognise tracks and their genre etc :confused:

thanks for any help in finding articles discussing classifying music into genres.

use google scholar - especially good if at uni or you have access to the journals etc - typing in music genres came up with some decent sociological perspectives on page 2 eg. genre defined by class etc.
