How do you classify a song?
Songs that share patterns can be grouped in a genre that describes those patterns. You can find these patterns in any music dynamic: rhythm, speed, progression, key, instrumentation, whatever. You determine the genre of a song by identifying these patterns, and associating them with the description of a genre.

Is a song a genre?
The elements that identify a song as one genre or another are not always cut and dried, and defining a song's genre involves a degree of subjectivity. Some songs fit multiple genres. Listening to songs that are characterized as being in specific genres can help us to define the genre of our songs.
