There are over 6,000 music genres that can be found on Spotify but only a few ever get the recognition they deserve.
Seems daunting to find the right genre for you. That's understandable.
So, here are some music genres you may or may not heard before that are worth checking out:

1. Düsseldorf Indie
Like its name says, Düsseldorf Indie is a music genre that originated from Düsseldorf, Germany.
Finding its footprint in the early 2010s and resurging back in the 2020s, the music genre is a combination of post-punk and electronic music accompanied by thoughtful lyrics.
Guitar, drum beats, and other instruments are usually mixed with synthetic music to produce a soothing digital feeling.
Since it is most known in Germany, most lyrics are written in German. However, if you are just in for the sound, Düsseldorf Indie is still a good pick to go full-sentimental during stormy nights.
2. Swiss Experimental
Another music genre originating from Europe, Swiss Experimental is an unpredictable experience that pushes traditional European music and electronic sounds into new grounds.
Most of the songs in Swiss Experimental focus more on soundtracks rather than lyrics with many sharing a resemblance with the works of Aphex Twin (if you know, you know).
Many of the songs in this genre can be quite long, so may want to sit back and give it time to enjoy this whole new journey into music rave.
3. Vapor Twitch
We are not done with electronic music. This time it's the emotional but hype Vapor Twitch genre.
If you are into the atmospheric or ethereal mood of music, then Vapor Twitch might just be the best for you.
It combines elements of trap, a lot of bass, and hip-hop to create this groovy delivery. It is sometimes slow, sometimes fast. The pace is always changing like it's taking you on a ride.
It's like a modern variation of jazz with more synth waves and electronic instruments rather than pianos and saxophones.
4. Punk Blues
Punk Blues is not a new genre, it originated way back in the 60s and 70s but made its way back to underground music communities over the past years.
As its name says, Punk Blues combines elements of punk rock and jazz blues to give this aggressive but smooth punch to your neurons.
This genre is like reliving those fight scenes you once saw as a kid in old-school action flicks. And for more modern applications, it is a Tarantino film kind of music.
Plus, the music posters for this genre are just immaculate.
5. Noise Pop
Saving the best for the last. If you have ever listened to pop punk, punk rock, or alternative rock sometime in your life, you might actually have listened to some Noise Pop music.
Noise Pop is a subgenre of alternative and punk rock that uses techniques in pop music to make itself catchier.
It still has that experimental feel to it but also introduces more constant beats and pace you may have heard in well-known bands like The 1975, One Republic, and Arctic Monkeys.
It is a good introduction to other lines of rock music without veering away from the more conventional pop music. Give it a try, it really is good.
