Hello, How do I filter only the genre list for a specific word? I am trying to look up all songs that are in the Rock genre, but it gives me songs with the word "rock" in them

You do not tell us how you filtered.  
I would have used  
`genre IS Rock`  
see also the help on filters:

> Documentation on Filter and Search and keywords to form complex filter expressions. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.
