Top Ten Most Varied Music Genres
This is based on sound rather than lyrics. Also if you disagree with my choices, it's probably because you don't know enough of the genre
It makes sense doesn't it?
Progressive rock is a broad genre of rock music that developed in the United Kingdom and United States throughout the mid to late 1960s. This genre covers such a wide range of music
Rock music is a music genre that was created in the 1940s. The genre was popular during the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s.

Notable rock bands and music artists include The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen, Van Halen, Foo Fighters,... read more
Amen! I couldn't agree more. Metal is one of the most experimental genres and among its subgenres, death metal provides the largest room for experimentation and innovation. Because of that, it's incredibly varied and as a result death metal has more sub-subgenres than most of the metal subgenres. For example, thrash, prog metal and power metal have less subgenres than death metal.
I laugh hard every time I hear/read all death metal sounds the same. Actually death metal subgenres sound pretty different and only one thing is compulsory - the death growls. No death growls, no death metal. But even death growls sound different depending on the vocalist.
Some people think it's all the same growling but it really isn't. Every death metal band has a different feel to it
System Of A Down is completely different from Slipknot who are completely different from Limp Bizkit and so on. There are very few genres that are as varied as nu metal
While some may not like this genre, there is no denying how varied it is, some bands scream while others heavily downtune their instruments, some even rap.
Punk rock is a subgenre of rock music. It usually has rebellious lyrics and down stroked power chords played on guitars. Bad Religion, Sex Pistols, and Green Day (actually pop-punk, which is still punk in a way) are a few punk rock bands. The subgenre influenced thrash metal because of it's down stroked guitar playing and other factors. You have hardcore punk, reggae influenced punk, pop punk, normal punk, RATM like stuff
Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound) is a subgenre of alternative rock and a subculture that emerged during the mid-1980s. You kinda have to types of grunge - heavy and not heavy. However, even within those types Alice In Chains are very different to Soundgarden and Nirvana are very different to Pearl Jam...
I don't know too much about this genre but from what I've heard the bands vary a lot from each band to another
Yes, bands vary but not as much as in death metal so I agree death metal is #1 and power metal is lower.
Some people think raps all the same but it's anything but.
Maybe not so much pure reggae but so many bands have been inspired by reggae (The Police, The Clash) and have created a sort of combination of genres so for that reason it's in my top 10
Just all of it!
Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, United States, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and developed from roots in blues and ragtime. Jazz is seen by many as "America's classical music". Jazz is incredibly varied! There are many different sounds in something classified as "jazz". Some songs may also include free solos so it is different every time!
In my opinion this isn't actually a genre but I'll count it anyway because many people do think it is. It covers a lot of music
