"textContent": "As part of reuploading my catalog to streaming, I’ve had to deal with Symphonic’s… less-than-ideal user interface, and one of the biggest pain points is how they present their genre listing, with a hard-to-search and super-inconsistent two-pane interface that makes it hard to find a specific genre unless you know which particular category they decided to put it in.\n\nFortunately, it’s all just data, so I was able to scrape the interface in order to get their current (as of March 19, 2026) genre and subgenre list.\n\nThis is subject to change, of course.\n\nI am not interested in discussing the merits of these genres (or anything missing from the list) or how they’ve opted to categorize them; I’m just the messenger.\n\n * Alternative\n *
