Your music
 
Okay, like many people out there, I dislike many genres of music. My greatest hate now is this rap/hip hop/pop thing where all they talk about is how crap their life is, s*x, drugs and money. (this is a preconception i have).

Whereas i like to listen to Punk Rock, Alternative and the many strands of Metal (mostly death metal, black metal, symphonic metal,etc.)

I want to know what music genre or just plain music you listen to and why? What do you like about it? What makes you want to listen to it?

I am curious to see what people say.

Hey now, disliking entire genres of music is nothing to be proud of. =/

I find it funny that you had to type those first few sentences when they really have no relation to your questions at all.

Anyway I listen to a lot of genres of music. I try to keep an open-mind towards all kinds. I'm sure I could find something I like in every genre if I tried.

But right now I'm obsessed with Impressionism music. Why do I like it? I don't know, there's just something very fascinating about it. It's music with a mood its very own. I guess a lot of people don't like the harmonies, but I think they're really interesting. As I said it brings about a mood that only it can. In fact I can't think of any other genre of music that brings me into it so much.

Tyrantrum July 13th, 2010 9:44 PM

I listen to Post-hardcore, Screamo, Metal (heavy metal, death metal, deathcore, etc.)

Blackberry Winter. July 14th, 2010 12:42 PM

I listen to anything except for country.

I mainly listen to alternative/screamo/death metal/Techno

Bands like The Devil Wears Prada, Parkway Drive, Family Force 5, and Paramore.


EmeraldSerenade July 14th, 2010 12:46 PM

I listen to mainly rock, techno, alternative, electronica, screamo and indie-pop. I can stand a FEW pop songs though.

Corruptodile July 14th, 2010 1:19 PM

I listen to pretty much anything that comes my way. I'm not at all into rap though, though I can tolerate some (Hollywood undead, Linkin Park). Which is a shame, since my friends are hardcore rap obsessed.

My current trend is the rock/metal trend. I don't know why, it just pumps me up so much. I'm all for a bit of pop/dance/trance/techno though.

Sydian July 14th, 2010 1:25 PM

I'll listen to anything, really. I have no preferred genre because I can find something in every genre that I'll end up liking. My favorite bands/artists are Kings of Leon, Deftones, Nirvana, Death Cab For Cutie, and Lady Gaga.

Comrade Nikita Ivanova July 14th, 2010 1:36 PM

I absolutely love synth-pop from the 80's~ Some of my favourite bands include A Flock of Seagulls, Tears for Fears, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and Depeche Mode. <3 Although I do like heavy metal and rock, too.

Even though I didn't grow up in the 80's, I never really could get into much music from other decades. It just doesn't have the same quirkiness about it.

Klippy July 15th, 2010 9:13 AM

Not really a fan of thug rap, if that can be a genre. I don't need to listen to a guy rhyme about how he's getting "down with the b's and h's" or murdering someone. So put on some Eminem and I'll love it. :D

I mostly listen to rock/alternative/etc., but I have every sort of music on my iPod. I've got a few favorites, like Kings of Leon, John Mayer, and Eminem.

poopnoodle July 15th, 2010 6:11 PM

i like to think i've got pretty diverse taste. not a fan of the "reggaeton" i guess. i think i primarily listen to indie-folk, at least that's the first genre i go for when i feel like listening to something. lately, though, i've been obsessing over The Antlers, what my boyfriend calls "baw-core." i wouldn't know how to label them, but i think he hit the nail on the head.

Thomas July 15th, 2010 6:19 PM

I listen to a variety of different stuff, but my favorites are Alternative Rock, Folk Rock, Folk Pop, Alternative Country, and just general Rock/Pop stuff.

Eruption July 16th, 2010 7:58 AM

I like to a listen to a range of genres.

Hip-hop, rap, pop, indie, rock, almost anything. Some of the artists I like cover a range of genres instead of sticking to one so that widens it too.

Gorillaz are great for this, they're always experimenting and they have guest artists on most tracks to keep the genre changing.

So pretty much anything, mainly into hip-hop/rap at the moment. I agree about some of the rap just being about the same things.

JP July 16th, 2010 8:47 AM

I listen to lots of instrumental rock, ambient and electronic music, also lots of alternative rock and "indie" rock. I was a huge fan of metal a few years ago. I don't listen to it as much as I use to, but I like to keep up with the bands I did love.

Percy Thrillington July 16th, 2010 8:56 AM

My music taste ranges from Tupac to Green Day, so I'll pretty much listen to anything. Except for hardcore metal. I enjoy not having my ear drums blown out.

I listen to different genres/songs for different reasons. For instance, if for some reason I get fueled up with irritation for a certain group of individuals, I might listen to some of the Arcade Fire. If I'm going through a particularly rough patch in my love life, I might listen to Johnny Cash and so on. Other times, I just listen to stuff because I'm bored. There's no real definite answer to your question for me.

Charizard★ July 16th, 2010 9:15 AM

I like:
Spanish Music
Japanese Music (All Types)
Rap/Hip Hop
RnB
And a little rock

Eternal Nightmare July 16th, 2010 9:16 AM

I listen to pretty much any song I find suitable to my tastes. This goes from rap and rock all the way to foreign music and video game music lolz. I haven't really had much love for all the new rap as its pretty terrible but old school will always be the shiz :D.

chikorita125 July 16th, 2010 9:17 AM

i manly like mixed music, but mostly like the 80's 90's music

shu July 16th, 2010 1:00 PM

my favorite type of music is power metal metal and all kinds of metal.

Tater Tot July 16th, 2010 1:02 PM

Mainly what I like most is Electropop, or pop with lots of synths in it. I also usually always like ballads, songs that make you feel good or funny, senseless stuff that's fun to listen and sing along to.

I'll usually like the song if there are a lot of lyrics and it's sung fast, just mainly because I like people that talk/sing fast.

I also like Christmas stuff... not exactly cause the music's good but it's nice to listen to and puts you in good spirits. :D

I also will probably like a song if it's really sad, or makes me emotional in any way. Even if I can't relate to the situation, it's still good.

And lastly, usually I don't listen to guys. I like the way girls sing, and all guys usually sound the same or annoying, so... Girls are easier to listen to. XD

kasabian_ July 16th, 2010 3:17 PM

I have Iron Maiden to Bob Dylan, The Beatles to Eminem, Kasabian to The Who.

Weeaboo Name July 16th, 2010 3:45 PM

I don't like music that is made for the ringtone market. Soulja Boy, Kesha, Gaga ect. but i like and can listen to most things. I also find anyone that goes out of their way to "rebel" or be crude just to attract attention, Jefree Star, Hollywood Undead, The Medic Droid ect.

Today i have been listening to Enter Shikari, Bob Dylan, Rusko, Johnny Cash, Der en Grey, Deadmau5 and Mos Def.

Eeohnex July 16th, 2010 4:51 PM

I don't have an specific genre preference, but I listen to; Post-Hardcore, Hardcore, Rock, Hard Rock, Alternative Rock, Post-Punk, Indie, etc. I don't listen to main stream music such as Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Eminem, etc.

Some of my favorite bands are: Saosin, Story of the Year, Underoath, Nirvana, Rise Against, Metallica. Lately I've been listening to some rap, mostly Drakes stuff.

Houndour2005 July 17th, 2010 12:13 PM

German and Austrian schlager, pop, disco, Balkan music and folk metal.

Amaruuk July 17th, 2010 9:35 PM

I like stuff across the board, since I'm pretty open. If it sounds good, makes me bop my head, or simply isn't annoying, that's all it takes for me to like a song.

I guess the genres I play most are anything on the spectrum between pop, rock, and various kinds of metal, plus trance, techno, drum'n'bass, and those sorts of things. Jazz and R&B are great for chillin' out to, and hip-hop/rap is pretty catchy if it isn't the 'gangsta' variety that unfortunately most of the kids around these parts blare. I like a good beat. If I'm in the right mood, some country's good for a listen, too.
