Any websites to help me find the genre of a song? (kbin.run)

If I just look up "what genre is _____" it'll be very broad like "edm" or "pop" but I'd like to know if this is house or techno or d&b etc so I can start narrowing down my tastes

thanks guys

edit: Rate Your Music seems to be what I was looking for

I like everynoise for this.

It's got (essentially) every genre plotted, "in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier." You can search for a specific artist and see what genres they fit, and how other artists compare. Really handy for finding new music.

Edit: oof, it looks like the creator was laid off from Spotify, which is where they were getting their data to maintain it, so now it's just a static snapshot :(
