Music can be divided into
genres in many different ways. These classifications
are often arbitrary and controversial, and closely related
styles often overlap. Many do not believe that generic
classification of musical styles is possible in any
logically consistent way, and also argue that doing so sets
limitations and boundaries that hinder the development of
music. While no one doubts that it is possible to note
similarities between musical pieces, there are often
exceptions and caveats associated. Many genres can be
subdivided into narrower, more specific subgenres.
