      this was brought up by mr_monkey and mayhem (couldn't find their @) in the #metabrainz chat, but I wanted to make a ticket so it didn't get lost~

      > monkey: I think we should more seriously start planning a genre explorer feature in the same lines as the new music neighborhood graph
      > mayhem: I'm seriously going to consider that once we get more things released.

      The idea is to have a walkable genre graph in the same vein as the music neighborhood feature with some playable example of such tagged music.
      Ideally we would show multiple artists for each genre, each with a few playable tracks.

      I'd like to add my two cents here too... perhaps in addition to using the structured data from MusicBrainz (subgenres, fusion genres, and influences, full list here in case more are added), perhaps we could also connect genres using user data. for example, if a lot of Drone Metal listeners also listen to Harsh Noise Wall, we could have a connection there, even tho there's not a direct structural connection (you'd have to go through Harsh Noise to Noise to get to the influence on Drone Metal)
