That is just off the top of my head. Hip Hop does not have anywhere near that many designations, not that they mean anything quantifiable, but in that hip hop is, in the underground, a very fluid expressive, ever-changing quantity, but in the mainstream, hip hop is sequestered into two or three categories that is all the record labels seem to want to push. Rock was allowed (maybe cuz it's made mostly by white boys and sold to white boys) to change and grow while using the mainstream.
BTW, Drake was on Degrassi High. did not know that...
