# List genres

`GET /v0/genres`

The genres endpoint allows your users to browse the music catalog based on genres like rock, hiphop or acoustic. 

Genres are nested and both parent and child genres are returned in the response. Parent genres have cover art that you can show in your interface.

By specifying the "type" of genres you want to display, you can choose to show all genres in the Epidemic Sound library, only the genres that are featured on epidemicsound.com or only the genres that are available for your free tier tracks.

## Query parameters

- `sort` 'alphabetic' | 'relevance'
- `order` 'asc' | 'desc'
- `type` 'all' | 'featured' | 'partner-tier'
- `limit` integer
