Project Description: Music is meant to build connections between people, so prejudice of music genres creates segregation. The problem in avoiding different types of music constricts the diversity that can be shared. By listening and sharing distinct types of music, we hope to demonstrate that all music is important. For the clarity of the study, we've decided to narrow the music genres down to six; pop, classical, jazz, rap, country, and rock. Each genre encompasses many subcategories. For example, metal music falls under the category of rock, blues falls under the category of jazz, and indie falls under the category of pop.
