Musicgender is a subcategory of audiogender. It's an umbrella term for any gender that is related to, or can be described using music theory. It should not be confused with musicagender, which is a gender described by a specific genre of music, whereas musicgender uses ideas from music theory to describe gender and is not related to any one genre. It should also not be confused with musigender, which is a gender that feels like or is connected to music itself rather than music theory.

Many musicians feel closely related to music in some way. If one has such a connection with music, it's possible that one's gender could be influenced by music in some way. The coiner of these terms has stated that if one uses these terms, one should probably know at least a little about music theory in order to conceptualize them. Otherwise, they will likely be confusing, or might be misunderstood.

Musicgender can also be used as a gender on its own to describe a gender that is related to musicianship or music theory, or it can be used as an umbrella term.
