What style of music is you all over?

[Gomendosi]

So, are you identified by one type of music or do you love it all?

Rock God?
Little Bit County?
Rap Star?
Death Metal Maniac?





Personally, I love all sorts of music because it is all a diverse range of self expression designed to show me thoughts and ideas I never contemplated.

ALL music ?speaks? to me!

 

[Kelly]

I like a bit of everything really, the only types of music I tend not to listen to are hip hop, RnB, rap etc but there are still the occasional songs from those genres that I appreciate. If I had to choose I'd probably lean more towards classical, steampunk and jrock/visual kei. I'm particularly fond of anything with violins or pianos, I love the sound of them so anything featuring them heavily is bliss to me.

While, in general I do listen to a variety of music(styles), there's a really broad red line of things that can lead it.

In general I have an interest in unusual composition, ranging from time signature to weird intonation of instruments. I like a lot of the so-called "mathcore" subgenre together with the more progressive/experimental metalcore bands, as well as a lot of IDM/Glitch. In general I listen to some metal/rock and a lot of electro stuff. Add in some postmodern classical stuff (and with that a lot of moviescore stuff), electropunk, some goth, rap, aggrotech, a bit of death metal, 8-bit, black metal, metal-/hardcore, industrial... and we're kinda set. Oh.. and some EBM in general. And dubstep; but that kinda falls under electronic I guess. Bring on the bashing of dubstep, lol... (i'll post some examples of styles/favorites below). And then there's a few random bands I really like which might be a weird combination of all or any styles I like.

Weirdly enough, according to last.fm the band I listen to most if Abney Park, which is if anything mostly asociated with steampunk, but due to a limited number of artists doing that, I don't know if I can call that a genre already.

I do not take responsibility for labeling bands/styles wrong, just like I don't know if I'm posting the most accurate songs to describe a genre, I'm posting what I like and what apparently to a lot of people falls under genre X or Y. The entire "label" thing, while it is something people frown upon... I can't deal with "I can't label it". What does it sound like? Even "a vacuum cleaner on roids mixing in with someone pounding grandma's pots and pans" still is a label. Sometimes I use that to describe early 90's black metal, which in general had really bad recordings, lol.

Due to not being able to spam the entire bunch of videos from youtube, nor being able to stream everything, links to youtube for your pleasure a lot might be NSFW, so keep that in mind

Mathcore/Experimental metalcore

My boyfriend says "country."

I do listen to a lot of country.
I also listen to a lot of rap.
And I love dance music as well as rock, but lately rock has sucked.

Vanessa mae - warm air

Almost everything except Dubstep.

 

[NeverEnder]

I like many sorts of music but my heart lies in Goth, heavily, 80's Goth such as: The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, Depeche Mode, The Smiths.

 

[HelloDizzy]

Listen to The Birthday Massacre, then Eminem, then Miranda Lambert.
That would be me.
