A Quote by Taylor Swift

For me, genres are a way for people to easily categorize music. But it doesn't have to define you. It doesn't have to limit you.

I don't know why people have to categorize things in music under music. It's music and it's music and it's music. When you start putting genres on things, I think it's completely ridiculous, and I hate that.

Austin Carlile

I just don't let music genres define me.

Bebe Rexha

Me personally, I think all the barriers that are put up between genres are so easily broken. People just love music that moves them.

Jason Derulo

I've always believed in good music over bad music. I believe in two sorts of musics. And the lines that separate us, I don't believe in that. That's for people who need to easily define what they're hearing. Me, I'm cool with everything and anything I'm hearing that's music. It comes under one definition for me.

Jay-Z

I don't like to put tags on my music. I leave that to others. Seems like some people see me as the founder of "space disco", although that's a bit weird since there were lots of music from the late 70s and early 80s that easily fits into this genre. I can understand why we need genres, but I don't feel comfortable using any on my own music.

Hans-Peter Lindstrøm

Funk could very easily be called jazz, but you call it funk. Does that really matter? People dig that they associate themselves with certain genres, but the genres to me are made up things, like an imaginary world.

Kamasi Washington

This has always been my problem with genres is that they've turned into marketing tools. I've never been a person that allows themselves to be in any kind of box and I think that genres can be used as tools to define BPM or something but I think they're suffocating of music and other art. And I think they're inaccurate when they come to describing my work. Maybe other people like defining it, but I don't.

Ayshay

I definitely think that with music my favorite thing about Nashville is that it's a music hub that accepts and allows all genres to be present, and I think there's been a kind of fusing of genres lately that for me makes me really happy and excited.

To perceive is to categorize, to conceptualize is to categorize, to learn is to form categories, to make decisions is to categorize.

St. Jerome

Music is there for us to explore. To intentionally limit yourself to one, two, or three genres is limitation at its worst. Music is huge; its a gigantic history lesson, and if you are true music fan or a musician, you should explore it. Its all right there in front of us.

Phil Anselmo

Phil Anselmo

I like to just hear people talking and TV is a quick way to hear different periods and genres. It's just interesting to me. I'm pretty easily amused with that kind of stuff.

Aesop Rock

Music means communication to me. I say 'listen you people out there, listen to my music, let's be one.' Music is a friend to me when I am lonely, when I am blue. You can't define music 'cause music is cosmos and it knows no barrier or definition. You have to feel music to dig it.

Robert Plant

I think country music is really one of the biggest genres of music out there and one the most successful genres.

Tim McGraw

To me now, I don't really categorize music - I see music as all one.

J Hus

I like so many different genres of music that I guess it would be hard for me to pick one person who inspires me when so many people inspire me to make good music.
