The document discusses different music genres based on their purpose and composition. It describes vocal genres like a cappella that use only voices without instruments. Instrumental genres use only instruments, while vocal and instrumental genres combine both. Religious genres can be liturgical music for ceremonies or non-liturgical for religious purposes not in ceremonies. Profane genres have no religious purpose and include popular, folk, light, and cultured music. Functional genres provide backdrops for events, while cinematographic genres reinforce film messages and dubstep uses heavy bass from electronic dance influences. Advertising genres employ suggestive music and pictures to promote products.
