seems that genres are attached to albums and artist objects, not individual tracks(based on what I can tell from rspotify).

@sewnie you were probably thinking about something along the lines of this, right?

(genre is "deathcore" here)

The first genre is retrieved from the first artist on the track, as there may be multiple artists associated to a track and multiple genres associated to an artist.
Suggestions on how to handle this are welcome!
