New Apple Music Punk Category Available In Search

Apple has silently added a new Apple Music Punk category to its premium music streaming service! This new genre collection has been spotted in Search by a Reddit user. However, the Punk section is not always easy to find, as it might not be featured by default in the Categories section.

How To Play Songs From Apple Music Punk Category

• 1. Open Apple Music and tap on Search, in the bottom menu.
• 2. Punk should be available in the Browse Categories section.
• 3. If it’s not featured, use the Search field to look up for ‘punk’ (Use Apple Music as search database, not ‘Your Library’).
