I sort of have this same issue. Soundtrack music encompasses different moods. It'd be nice to have subgenres to alleviate this.
I found the best way to deal with this is by having playlists that correspond with whatever you're doing. For example, here are the titles of some of my playlists:
Conclusion
Night
Run
Sleep
Water
Some of these are pretty self-explanatory: Run is music for running; Conclusion are ending/credits themes or anything that sounds like you've just accomplished something; & I don't know why I created Water, but they're a bunch of ocean/underwater tunes. I guess if I were ever stranded out at sea, then I'd have this to listen to.
I don't know if anyone else does this, but I also seasonalize some of my music (Winter, Spring, Summer, Halloween, Christmas) into a seasonal folder that I simply swap with another one when the season changes.
