Get Umbrella Genre From Track

[2jl30sc-8_bm8]

Hello,

I'm currently working on a website to sort tracks by genre.

I've accepted that I have to use the genres the artist is categorized as. (I wonder why they don't offer it at track level, some artists have songs that have different genres. Apple music does it 👀)

But my problem is that those genres are too specific. I wish that there was a way to just get the umbrella genre instead of a sub genre.

For example Kendrick Lamer 
[ "conscious hip hop", "hip hop", "rap", "west coast rap" ] -> Rap.

But I'm sure that I will never be able to get something like that from the api so I was wondering if there is a list with all the genres that exists on Spotify? (and not just the genre seeds)

Hey have you found out a way to do this by yourself ?

Unfortunatly no, I gave up. 

If you find a solution, could you let me know?

I will do it myself, i currently working on a project close to yours which first step is to allow people to filter their playlist by genre. If you are interest maybe i could show you, i'm a french web developer but i speak english

There is a list of every genre available on Spotify at Every Noise at Once . I don't know if it answers the problem you are facing, there's currently more than 6000 genres in the list...
