How many music genres are there?

We collected 6000+ genres from the Spotify API and then separated them into groups using an algorithm developed by our team. Each main genre represents a well known big music genre like Pop, Electronic, Jazz .. And you can see all the sub-genres under it, ordered by popularity. We created a Spotify playlist from the popular music tracks that belong to every genre, again by developing an algorithm for that purpose.
