Subgenres Decoded

House (120–130 BPM) rides a steady four-on-the-floor kick drum with soulful, danceable elements. Techno (130–150 BPM) strips away melody for hypnotic, repetitive patterns that feel industrial and relentless.

Drum and bass (160–180 BPM) pairs breakneck breakbeats with deep sub-bass. Ambient removes the beat entirely, building atmospheric soundscapes for focus or quiet listening. Each subgenre serves a different mood.
