It just occurred to me that some genres of music are very broad, and others are very narrow and sometimes overlapping.
I like prog rock, but it amazes me that everything from Yes, Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, New England to Todd Rundgren to Rising Force to Mastodon to Dixie Dreggs and even extends to Blue Oyster Cult, King Crimson, Asia and the like...
The term Country encompasses a lot of different styles of music as well and actually overlaps considerably with rock.
Other genres seem intentionally focused i.e. Reggae or Bluegrass, or over compartmentalized i.e. Jazz (Cool jazz, avante garde, California jazz, Dixieland, etc.)
And even though Rock is over compartmentalized as well, some of the sub-genres are still quite broad.
Not sure there is a question here, but it seemed like an interesting topic.
