No fully sure I understand what you want here but jellyfin already supports gerne tags and if you go to jellyfin web > your music library > you'll find a "genre" tab on the top.
so the way the files are placed does not really matter for that - jellyfin reads the metadata of the files and uses this to populate the genre entries.
In general it's advised for the best results to follow the folder and file naming scheme listed in the documentation and then tag your files accordingly (btw on a little unrelated note, jellyfin also supports multiple genres for one album: "K-Pop;R&B" maybe that could also be useful for you (it certainly is for me))
