Defining Genres

Goals

Music genres are difficult to define. This project attempts to identify the primarcy characteristics of various genres using data from the Spotify API.

Roadmap/TODOs

  • Create list of genres to test
  • For a given genre, find the top artists (exact number TBD)
    • Will probably use the last.fm API for this
  • For a given artist, find their top songs (exact number TBD)
  • For a given song, find its "audio features" from the Spotify API
  • Determine the mean and medians of the audio features for each genre's hit songs
  • Compare those means and medians for various genres

Future improvements

  • Weight artists and songs by popularity (e.g. the genre's most popular artist will "count" more than a less popular artist)
