This was broken, hopefully will be fixed soon if it isn’t already:

> [@Missing genres from releases dump](https://community.metabrainz.org/t/missing-genres-from-releases-dump/586008/7):
>
> The recent schema change accidentally deleted tag/genre data from our mirror server which generates the JSON dumps ([MBS-12508](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-12508)). I restored that data & am generating new dumps now. P.S. Sorry for not seeing this earlier. The best way to report an issue is through [https://tickets.metabrainz.org](https://tickets.metabrainz.org) since tickets there go directly to developers’ mailboxes. slight_smile
