What do you think?

 

I think my taste is pretty diverse. I love the usual indie/alternative stuff, i love some electronic music, i love some hip hop, i love punk and i don't mind pop music. I think that's pretty good for a 14 year old yknow.

 

*hopes that this is an interesting thread*

*becomes interested in thread*

 

I like to think I have a pretty diverse taste in music, although ironically I've been trying to delete a lot of it recently. I like having diversity, as long as it's good diversity. There is not point trying to be all diverse and listen to pop music if its actually shit by the same token that there is no point trying to be all exclusive if there is actually decent music out there. I actually don't mind what I genre listen to as long as its good. I listen all the indie/alternative stuff, like most people, as well as having a soft spot for electronica. The only Kanye I listen to is Hip Hop (did I just say that?). I guess you could put the gorillaz in there as well. I tend to stere away from old artists though, which would probably be my main bias point. Like the only old stuff i listen to really is The Beatles and U2. I'm sure I'm missing out on a lot of good stuff but thats just the way it is. I think its mainly because if I like an artist, I need their whole catelogue and old artist either have too much material, or its not as relevant in todays scene, or they have been trying to create newer stuff and its just shit because its exactly the same as their older stuff. Thats just me though. I love new music though. I'll listen to any new music if its good. One day I hope I can look back on my music library and see how things have changed. I hope I still like new music as much as todays music in twenty years. That would really be cool. I'm sort of going off topic here though.

NOT ENOUGH

Hate country and most rap and candy pop. Otw, rock, college rock, oldies, blues, jazz, ska, punk, etc... Grew up with it all and still listen.

I love a wide variety of stuff from electronica to classical.

when i joined the board my main music knowedlge were britpop (coldplay, keane, snow patrol, travis...), or classic rock (led zeppelin, pink floyd, the beatles, emerson lake & palmer), or old electronica (kraftwerk, tangerine dream, vangelis, mike oldfield, the alan parsons project), and some others as caetano veloso, gilberto gil and bob marley. And i fear to check other stuff as seemed too 'hard'. Anywyas i think those form my base of music.

then around 2006 i crossed the line to explore other musical genres in general. i do it in chronological order per artist and per time, so i can make a proper opinion on how the genre has evolved and so, that requires lotta time and anyways there's stuff you have to leave off. Also when i get into some artist i truly like i dig for their influences, collabs and so and try to listen those aswell or if are other artistical skills they do i check those. I try to do so when the artist isn't in fashion so i don't go with the 'fandomism' flow.

so my range is very diverse i guess: classic music, flamenco guitar, symphonic, classic rock, blues, jazz, southern rock, stoner, punk, ska, reggae, metal, singer-songwriter, folk, acoustic, few hip hop, electronica, experimental, and few pop. I generally like depending on the mood i'm in, for instance there are yet some experimental electronical bands that i find hard to get into. And so far i have not much interest in some popular modern music (reggaeton, rumba..).

 

i personally never found the point in just listen the music of one's generation or a few music genres, i guess it close the horizon to just one current and small present, and present is a fake is too short and no doubt is influenced by the past and will influence the future. Music is out there off the age to be enjoyed no matter your age and your time, imo.

well i was sure before so i took a look at my top 10 from 2010

 

1. electro

2. slow burn rock

3. hip hop

4. pysch rock

5. indie/math rock

6. indie rock

7. folksy pop

8. dream pop

9. electro

10. folksy pop

 

so nah not that much diversity really.

I don't think my music taste is particularly diverse; I listen to a lot of similar artists. But there is some diversity, for example, I listen to Kanye West and Kid Cudi, but I also listen to Devendra Banhart and Aidan Knight.

 

I don't think I limit myself to any one style of music; I will listen to anything that is suggested to me no matter what the genre is. I just end up liking a certain style as opposed to others.

I remembered that at one time, the top 6 on my last.fm's genres were soundtrack, baroque pop, folk rock, post-rock, psychedelic pop and indie rock.

 

But I do listen to other genres too.

Compared to some of you guys, not really.

 

Compared to my friends at school, my music tastes are extremely diverse.

 

I listen to all sorts of rock, some pop, classical, Broadway/show music, some indie, and more that I can't think of right now. :uhoh:

 

Oh. How many people that you know listen to Drum Corps music? :charming:

Respectably diverse i think. Although I almost never listen to rap or certain forms of hip-hop, if I had my music on shuffle for an hour, there's a very good chance you would here a mix of ambient/drone, post-rock, classical, electronic, indie-pop and alternative.

well I listen to some indie but also classic rock/pop like the beatles. I also like some electronic, alternative and hip-hop (just kanye really and a bit of Jay-z). Sometimes I'm in a pop mood too. But I don't think it's that diverse.

 

The only music I try to avoid is something called reggaeton (lame and famous in latin america) and chilean bands because no matter the genre, they usually suck. I think I don't like how the music in spanish sounds because the lyrics don't flow well and most of the times don't make sense

Anything from Classical to Prog Opera. I'd say very diverse, though there are a few genres I listen to a lot more than others.

Yea I have a diverse music taste....I think :lol: It just needs to be good :P so even if there's a genre I hate, like country, im willing to give the music a chance and find an exception. I also listen to music in spanish which have their own genres as well. I really hate heavy metal though, I just can't stand it...

Traditional and celtic music all the way!

 

Mo is probably the only other who listens to that.

Love traditional music as well! Especially Chinese.

Hmm...let me make a list here.

 

Alternative/indie rock

Classic rock

Hard Rock/Metal (Not too much)

Gospel

Blues

Pop

Rap/Hip Hop (A little)

Reggae

Electronic

Classical

World (Hawaiian, Israeli, Celtic...all have great stuff)

New Age

Country

 

Not to mention all the ones I forgot. :3

 

Edit: Jazz being one of those. :D I'm not a super huge fan, but I still really like it.

I dunno. I'd say in general fairly diverse, not just diverse for the sake of it but because I like different kinds of music. Compared to some people I know it's really diverse. Compared to some other people in general that I don't know, I'm not really anything special.

 

I do know a lot of people that say their music taste is diverse and when I ask them what kind of music they listen to they go "omg punk AND classic rock AND even some indie stuff!" and then I go "o really what about classical", or some other not-that-popular genre, and they usually go "LOLno" or else say "ummmm yeah kind of" and name like one or two famous classical pieces. When they do listen to classical I ask them about jazz and they always say no, hahaha. I think people are more apt to think that their taste is diverse than to think otherwise, which is why I'm hesitant to say my taste is actually diverse.

 

Mostly I listen to stuff that's indie as shit :charming: and electronica, a little bit of pop, and alternative I guess, and classical, and jazz, blues, etc. I have some opera music and also a couple of country songs (mostly old country, the kind that's basically white blues... like Johnny Cash, etc. Hank Williams is cool.), and some hip-hop too but I'm not really super into much of that. Probably the most exotic music I have is an Indian jazz-fusion band called Remember Shakti. Soundtracks and stuff. Not that much that's super experimental besides some indie shit. No show tunes or pop country/pop rap. I'd say I'm pretty diverse but not crazy out there, because a lot of the genres I do listen to I don't listen to that much of.

 

I do like me some good new music though. I would say I'm open to different genres but tend to listen to certain ones more than others.

I'd say it's pretty diverse for the most part. I don't mind listening to pretty much anything.

 

Of course I'd say the few genres I like the least are Country, and some Rap/Hip-Hip or Pop from today, but even then sometimes there are a few songs I really enjoy.

Hmmm. This is an interesting question.

 

I like to think that I'm quite a diverse person. There aren't too many genres that I don't like, and even in those, I manage to find at least something that I at least somewhat like. Take country, for example. I'm really not a big fan of country at all. However, there are a couple of artists from that genre I like. Jim Reeves is the big one for country. His voice is so beautiful. :heart:

 

Having said that, however, I could use some work on some things. I really need to get a collection of modern classical music started. I listen to it a lot more than I used to, and some of it I really enjoy. I don't own any of it on disc, however.

A lot.

I only really have an aversion to the ridiculously screamy/heavy stuff because it scares the crap out of me.

and things with loli in the name. D:
