How to use these benchmarks
- Research which moods your target genre's curators actually select. Don't guess—check the data.
- Avoid overused moods unless they genuinely match your track. 'Energetic' and 'Happy' are very common.
- Select 2–3 specific moods that accurately describe your track's vibe, not every mood that vaguely fits.
