Identifying Music Genres Correctly

Do you call classical music “old people music”? Or think hip-hop is just rapping? You’re not alone—but it’s time to level up your music vocabulary in English!

In this short video, you’ll learn how to identify five popular music genres the right way: classical, reggae, punk, hip-hop, and country. Each genre is introduced with a short clip and a quick, clear explanation of what it is—and what it isn’t.

For example, you’ll learn the difference between reggae and ska, why hip-hop is more than just rap, and what really defines country music (hint: it’s not just cowboy hats).

Perfect for music lovers and English learners, this video helps you express your taste in music accurately and avoid awkward mistakes. It’s also a great way to build vocabulary for conversations, reviews, or online comments about songs and artists.
