"Genre" missing from Apple music

Since switching from iTunes to Apple music I can't find the option to select and view all music from a particular genre in my library.

I know I can click on "songs" and see which genre they are from but there used to be a way in iTunes to click on "Rock" for example and iTunes would display every song/album that was tagged as "rock".

iTunes Browse I can't seem to browse the dozens of genres and thousands of artists within each genre without subscribing to iTunes Music. In previous versions of iTunes, this was a feature. I'd love some help.

ITUNES SEARCH BY GENRE Why is it that in iTunes, when I search for all the songs in a specific genre, other songs from other genres appear? For example: I want to see all the songs in my genre category titled "POP MUSIC", so in the search I type in the words "POP MUSIC". All the songs in that category appear but then there are songs that also appear that are in other genre categories. For example: One of the songs that appeared was a song called Blue Sky but that song is in my COUNTRY MUSIC genre category?! Upon further investigation, I find out that that certain song in the country music category, is from an album called "My Pops Country Music". Which tells me that the reason why that song appeared when I searched for POP MUSIC is because the words "Pop" and "Music" were in the title of the album even though that song is not listed in my POP MUSIC genre? Is there any way to stop this from happening? [Email Edited by Moderator]

search by genre ONLY within iTunes library When I do an iTunes library search using the keyword JAZZ, I get ALL songs, albums, artists, etc. with JAZZ in the name when all I want are the songs with the genre of JAZZ so I can change that name to make it easier for me when I need to do iPOD updates. So, is there a way to search GENRE only using JAZZ as the keyword? Would appreciate any assistance. PS: I am on the latest version of iTunes, am trying to manage 300000+ songs, and am on the Windows 10 Operating System.

Ok, I have found the solution after a bit of clicking around. Turns out there's a little invisible "Eit" that you can only see if you hover over the right section:
