It depends on what sheet music you choose. It can play slow pretty songs, or upbeat music. I have played clarinet for 6 years and I have played many different types. You can play professional songs written by famous composers or songs as simple as the Jonas Brothers.

By genre, I am ssuming you are asking about styles of music that composers have used for the clarinet. Some of these would include Classical, Romantic, 20th century. The clarinet became a standard member of the orchestra at the end of the 18th century and has been a part of band music (concert and marching) from the beginning of wind band music. It has also enjoyed popularity in swing bands during the '30s and '40s (Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw come to mind). It is one of the most versatile instruments.

The clarinet is played in many genres. It is prominent in Classical Music, an example of this being Mozart's Clarinet Concerto, as well as Romantic music (for example, Weber's Concertino) and 20th century music (For example, Nielsen's Concerto). The clarinet has become a standard part of the orchestra and band. It is also prominent in Jazz Music; two famous jazz clarinet players are Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw. The clarinet is well known for being very versatile, and has been featured in some way or another in many genres.

Many kinds of music can be played by a clarinet. It is not really limited: Could be classical, or jazz, ragtime, big band. If you listen in movie soundtracks, often you will hear a clarinet playing in the background. It has a very distinctive sound.

Anything that you like, but I would said jazz, classical, and bluegrass. The clarinet is best for light but smooth melody.
