What is your favorite genre of music?

Techno, I guess. I don't listen to much music at all.

Electric Guitar. That's a genre right?

Indie, Punk. Some Techno from time to time. But yeah mainly like The Thermals, The Killers, La Dispute. Stuff like that.

Without a doubt, Ska. I do enjoy a lot of other genres though.

Buncha fucking Metal heads. >:/

I like "Techno" though. Trance specifically. Here area few ofmy favorites.

Metal. Although I listen to just about anything other than Country and Rap.

Lack of Black Metal category is a bit silly.

Metal and video games go hand in hand, they both tend to attract basement dwellers.

I listen to pretty much anything, I guess, but I don't really listen to music a lot any more. I listen to enough podcasts that I just don't listen to a lot else.

Many post's about this. But i'll answear this again^^ Metal, old old school hardcore(europa) not rap " hardcore" or rap in general :)

These polls never mention punk or ska. Makes me sad...

Punk would be my music of choice but I can listen to anything from Cannibal Corpse to Death Cab for Cutie.

Electronic music, but I'll listen to anything, really.

I don't like picking genres because 90+% of the music in any genre is terrible. I like to try and listen to the best of everything, but I generally like American music as a whole (Rock, blues, jazz, funk, rap, r&b/soul etc.).

Trust me, you've never heard of it

There is no J-pop option in this poll.

I answered with I'll listen to anything. I mainly listen to rock and metal, but I grew up listening to country and pop music. In the past few years I've gotten into indie music, and recently I've been getting into electronic music. I've been trying to get into rap for some time now too. I like a good bit of it, but I'm still trying to find something that really clicks with me.

Good music.

Genre doesn't matter as long as the song is good, but I default to rock (any type, really: hard, soft, metal, whatever). 
 
As an aside: It blows my mind when people say they don't listen to music that much or at all. I'm not passing judgment, I just can't fathom life without music. 

Good music.

I don't think there should be a poll because there are a ridiculous amounts of genres and amalgamations.

My favorite is pop-punk.

You know, I've given people this answer in the past and I could tell by the look on their faces that they thought I was a pretentious dick.

There's a difference between Pretentious Dick and open minded. You hang out with bad people.

Rap/R&B

Don't have one.

Daft Punk is it's own genre:)  

I like music. Besides Gangsta Rap, Country and generally Top 40. I have 300gigs of Music.

Best in the genre, my friend. They are fucking incredible live too.

I don't have a favourite as I will listen to all music of any genre and give it a fair chance to impress me. Unless it's rap/hip hop. That stuff is crap and I have never liked any of it. Well, I have kind of, sort of, in a way, but not really, enjoyed a couple songs, but out of all the genres Rap/Hip Hop is the one genre that I just can't stand listening to. Most of it.
 
EDIT:Actually, I take that back. The one genre of music I can't stand more then any other is that screaming shit. It literally just sounds like loud noises to me. I always forget to add that when people make this thread every few days because I don't even consider it music so it never comes to mind.

"hip hop/rnb"
 
lol fuck you.

Trust me, you've never heard of it

Don't have an answer for you, my taste is quite varied.  
 
Just commented to point out that 'one of the my favourite' genres and arguably one of the most creative, expressive genres in music is not mentioned in the poll, Jazz.

Heck if I know.

I've got plenty of musical equipment and instruments, and that is what I end up creating.

Really is my kind of genre.

Metal. I've tried other stuff, I just don't like it. Can't get into it. No big deal though, different strokes and all that shit.

Fuck music

Grouping Hip- Hop and Rnb together makes this poll invalid

I like everything, but I'm most inclined towards Punk. Surprised how many people like metal though.

Metal; specifically, Power, Speed, Symphonic and Thrash, generally in that order. It's not absolutely all I listen to, though. Not a fan of pop or hip hop, definitely not country.

My favorite is probably instrumental (no lyrics) music and soundtracks/scores. I think I like music without lyrics because it is easier to put your own feelings and meanings behind the music. However, lately I've been listening to a lot of industrial rock & metal.

I've gone thru all kinds of music phases but I ended up back with rock/metal.  When I started playing guitar it gave me a whole new appreciation of that music genre.  Triplet strumming and gallop rhythms sound cool and are actually pretty difficult to do well & fast.
 
I like some blues guitar stuff too.  classical isn't bad for tedious driving around town.  techno has kind of lost it's luster after learning more about how it's constructed.  Some of it just sounds good though, mostly because of custom samples and instruments (Angel Spit, KMFDM)

Metal? Really?
