Learn Music Genre Vocabulary – Sound Like a Pro

If you love music but struggle to describe it in English, this short video is for you. We’ll help you learn the correct vocabulary for some of the most common music genres—without sounding awkward.

You’ll hear and see examples of:
• Classical (not “old people music”)
• Reggae (not the same as ska)
• Punk (rebellious and fast)
• Hip-hop (more than just “rapping”)
• Country (not just cowboy hats and trucks)

Many English learners mix these up—but after this video, you won’t. Each clip gives you the sound and vibe of the genre, along with quick corrections to help you speak more naturally.

Use this video to boost your vocabulary, improve small talk about music, or just sound more fluent when sharing your favorite songs.
Watch now and test yourself—did you get them all right?
