You can filter the style list by the genre score with the “Other” filter button either by choosing a pre-defined range or setting your own custom range. For example, if you're looking for a quiet “living room” type style, use the filter to only show styles with a genre score less than 40. This might show jazz, classical, folk or other quiet-acoustic styles."
It's slightly more complicated than the help implies - the "genre score" for any particular style is only comparable to other styles in the same genre group. For example we've got Jazz styles with a score of 90 and Metal styles with a score of 50. This doesn't mean that the Jazz style is more intense than the Metal style, just that it's more intense than most other Jazz styles.
