So, somebody posted a set of achievements to /r/vinyl, and this one stood out to me:
This is notable? In a day and age when there are more genres than seems possible, are people really this close minded, or am I freaking out over nothing again?
If I go into iTunes and click forward to five randomized tracks, I get Rock (Interpol), Soundtrack (Superbrothers: Swords & Sorcery LP), Rock (Leningrad Cowboys), Electronica (The Avalanches), and Rap (Mos Def). It takes me exactly six clicks to get five different genres (The last genre being Opera).
The soundtrack for my podcast tonight included Fitz and the Tantrums (R&B), Mother Mother (Alt Rock), Ministry (Industrial cover songs), Anamanaguchi (Chiptunes), and Lexicon, plus some random metal, a few Beatles songs and some Micheal Jackson.

Sorry, that achievement is for vinyl records, not iTunes. ;-)
