Your json -

{
    "title":"Free Music Archive - Genres",
    "message":"",
    "errors":[
    ],
    "total":"163",
    "total_pages":82,
    "page":1,
    "limit":"2",
    "dataset":[
    {
    "genre_id":"1",
    "genre_parent_id":"38",
    "genre_title":"Avant-Garde",
    "genre_handle":"Avant-Garde",
    "genre_color":"#006666"
    },
    {
    "genre_id":"2",
    "genre_parent_id":null,
    "genre_title":"International",
    "genre_handle":"International",
    "genre_color":"#CC3300"
    }
    ]
    }

Using the JSON library from json.org -

JSONObject o = new JSONObject(jsonString);

NOTE:

The following information will be helpful to you - json.org.

UPDATE:

import org.json.JSONObject;
 //Other lines of code
URL seatURL = new URL("http://freemusicarchive.org/
 api/get/genres.json?api_key=60BLHNQCAOUFPIBZ&limit=2");
 //Return the JSON Response from the API
 BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new         
 InputStreamReader(seatURL.openStream(),
 Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
 String readAPIResponse = " ";
 StringBuilder jsonString = new StringBuilder();
 while((readAPIResponse = br.readLine()) != null){
   jsonString.append(readAPIResponse);
 }
 JSONObject jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonString.toString());
 System.out.println(jsonString);
 System.out.println("---------------------------");
 System.out.println(jsonObj);
