I'm assuming this is the place for a topic such as this, but I apologise in advance if I am mistaken and beg forgiveness from the almighty mods and only ask that they move it to the correct section
Now with that out of the way, I can continue on to the main content: music genres. We all have at least a vague idea of what music goes into what category (at least I hope for your audience's sake), but then there come the gazillion sub and sub-sub-sub genres that throw most people off, or is that just me?
Well I found this pretty comprehensive electronic music genre guide that not only goes into the history of how electronic music came to be, shows the development and progression of the genres and let's you listen to samples of the selected sub-genre.
It's much simpler if shut up, give the link and let the guide do the showing

P.S. Do not let this guide be an inflexible golden handbook of music categorisation, using your own knowledge is also key. But this helps out quite a bit at first.
