How do I determine the Artist's genres and subgenres?

Genres are very important at Viberate. Not only that they give us information about an artist's music style but they also position the artist to the corresponding genre and subgenre charts. Before you decide on a subgenre or combination of subgenres:

- Listen to a few tracks and try to determine genres/subgenres the artist belongs to.

- You can also check the artist's channels and try to find out how they identify themselves. Genres are often stated on Facebook about sections, Bandsintown, Beatport (for electronic artists) and Spotify descriptions, etc.

- You can also check Wikipedia, but note that it's not always correct and you can try googling it, but be careful, as such results are often too generic.

- You can also help yourself with Genre guides like Musicmap and Every Noise. 

Please note that the first selected subgenre determines artists' main genre.
