I just learned about these nodes this last Monday night. How have I not known about these?!? They remove a ton of things I wanted/requested.
So I made a moods pack that matches allmusic (I also made Occasions/Themes for when that's supported). This is for the data-nerds that actually tag their music (I use Jaikoz and FLAC) and these work with song-level tags. Everyone says, "genres are subjective" and "moods don't mean anything", but that's only because you have uninitiated noobs inputting data on last.fm. Their website is absolutely atrocious but I find allmusic data to be accurate, consistent, and predictable, which is the only way these kinds of things can work. And it works. If you're in doubt, select a mood from https://www.allmusic.com/moods and tell me the results don't fit. It may be time to adjust your Universal scraper.
They are all in this format:

I am currently working on an allmusic genres pack that covers all 1144 genres/styles in a relatively large cascading menu setup. I'm trying to figure out how to avoid repeating menus and where to put folders and index.xml to make it behave properly. Like I said... this last Monday.
*edit: I use 'contains' because my MOOD tags are CSV like this: "Aggressive,Angry,Bleak,Confrontational,Gutsy,Harsh,Intense,Uncompromising,Ambitious,Bitter,Crunchy,Gritty,Malevolent,Nihilistic,Provocative,Tense/Anxious,Suffocating". I'm not sure if IS would work in this case. I'm not exactly sure if Kodi splits these apart, but CONTAINS seems to be working well for me.

Just drop the 'moods' folder into your \\library\music folder.Airy songs Airy albums :<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<node type="filter">
<label>Airy</label>
<content>songs</content>
<rule field="moods" operator="contains">
<value>Airy</value>
</rule>
<group>albums</group>
</node>
