If you search for genre:"synth pop" you will get results (at least I do). No results for rock though, but I get a bunch of results for "soft rock", "hard rock", "pop/rock" and some other rock genres from this list. Not sure how up-to-date that list is though (it's actually the labels that provide this kind of metadata), I just tried some random genres. Note that you need to surround keywords that contain spaces with quotes, not the whole search query. Sorry if I confused you in my previous post.
I agree though that currently we don't have an easy way to browse genres and discover new music that way. Hope to get better at that!
You can do advanced searches, like "genre:jazz" or "year:1980-1990". More info about that here
