If I just look up "what genre is _____" it'll be very broad like "edm" or "pop" but I'd like to know if this is house or techno or d&b etc so I can start narrowing down my tastes...

If it’s a well-known artist, looking them up on Wikipedia is a good way to get an idea what genre they make. A website that does this for all songs individually would probably be AI-powered and wrong most of the time.

Pandora is actually really good at this because of the music genome project and the fact their parent company is SiriusXM

  • Find out which release (album/EP/whatever) the song is originally from.
  • Search for the release on RYM. The RYM page of the release includes the genres of the release (and often a lot of more information).

    I like everynoise for this.

    It’s got (essentially) every genre plotted, “in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.” You can search for a specific artist and see what genres they fit, and how other artists compare. Really handy for finding new music.
