Many music fans have already tried to build a website that is a super chronological summary of the history of music and the progression of musical genres, but none has so far achieved the precision and interactivity of the MusicMap site , one of the best ever to discover and know everything about every existing musical genre . On this site there is a real interactive online encyclopedia that tells us about the origin and evolution of over 200 musical genres in the period between 1870 and 2016.
The best part is that for each genre and sub-genre you can listen to sample playlists which should represent the best or almost the best for that genre.
MusicMap can be navigated using the mouse wheel and zooming the various genres until they are clickable.
By clicking on one you can read the story and then see a playlist of examples, with songs to listen freely thanks to the integration with Youtube.
However, what makes the site particularly useful and engaging is the variety of ways it offers users to interact with the history of music.
To understand the various symbols, you can click the key of the legend that explains how everything was organized.
Music Map is certainly the best interactive encyclopedia of music that can be found, currently, on the internet.
