Music and sound · by Kwinten Crauwels
Musicmap
An interactive chart of popular music genres drawn as a family tree, showing how genres branch from each other over time, with a short history and example tracks for each.
You can trace how one style grew out of another across a century, click any node, and hear typical tracks from that branch.
