Possible genres for my Music Magazine

Music can be divided into different genres in many different ways. The artistic nature of music means that these classifications are often subjective and controversial, and some genres may overlap. Concluding to this I think it is necessary and important to understand the vast amount of genres in music there is to further help decide what genre my music magazine will be in the end and to understand the backgrounds of each genre deeper.
