How can I tag a song with multiple genres? I seem to be only able to select one.

Either use the extended tags dialogue an create as many GENRE fields as you require with the new button.  
Or enter the genres manually in the genre inputbox but separate each genre with \\ from the previous one. This then creates a multivalue field of the genre.
