There is no such thing as “catching up” as you say. There is music from 200 years ago - and before - that is as relevant as today’s music. Given there are dozens of tracks released each day you will never ‘catch up’. Best solution is trying pot luck. Go on YouTube and type in any genre you want, see what comes up and take your pick. Go to Wikipedia and look up ‘Music Genres’.

Right, that’s enough. I’m off to listen to Chicago Blues and then The Band.
