    I'm into rap, reggae, older rock and even a little folk/country. But my favorite genre is classic soul. That's going back to the 60s and 70s, to artists like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and the Jackson 5. It's a genre that's mostly romantic or uptempo for dancing, but there're a few great introspective and socially conscious albums.

    What are your favorite genres to listen to?

    I get into all kinds of genres, but I prefer electronic, trip-hop, and so on. I also get into some metal, black metal, death metal, as long as the vocals aren't the annoying growls. I also get into some rap, mostly Childish Gambino, Nas and indie artists. I can't get into any of the mainstream rap/hip-hop stuff.

    I don't really have a favorite genre. I can get into a lot of different kinds of music.
    I like underground rap like Raider Klan and Metro Zu and Khalil Nova and Akumasanti. I listen to indie artists too.
    Some mainstream is okay but the majority is garbage.

    I only had two big phases in my life. Rock is what I grew up with and loved. Then took a break and fell in love with trip-hope and now I'm back to rock. Blues-rock in particular.

    Metal, metal, metal. Pretty much the only thing I listen to.

    Metal and progressive rock. My playlist changes depending on my mood but the changes come from either of these 2 genres only.

    Rarlier this year, I worked at Goodwill and all they played was Motown and other r and b from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, Some of it was actually catchy and I grew to like it. The customers would always tell me how much they enjoyed listening to it

    My favorite genre of songs is Blue. I do not know the exact reason for my choice but I feel good when I listen to this genre.

    Rock/Metal/Blues. Picking one specific genre is redundant. The best music is an amalgamation of styles.

    I really like post-rock. It is very calm music genre. It has no vocals, just the instrumentals. I meditate to that music sometimes when I have nothing to do. It is really calm and I can ponder about meaning of life or something while listening to it.

    My favorite genre is Pop and slow jams such as Jazz. I love soothing music.

    Hip-hop and R&b for me, maybe some pop for a couple weeks.

    I enjoy a lot of types of music. The thing is, I don't actually pay attention to the genre itself. As long as it sounds good, I listen to it! I really hate metal and rock though, and all those genres similar to that. They're just terrible!

    My favorite type of music is rock and metal, but I like to listen to all types of music if the songs are good. I enjoy listening to all of the genres, but I wouldn't go to a concert other than a rock or metal concert, because I don't really enjoy other music that much that I would like to pay for it.

    I love all types of music but if I was to choose I would say Pop. I mainly listen to chants and mantras now they get me relaxed.

    I feel you on that classic soul. I love Marvin Gaye and everything that comes along with him.

    I'm really into rap myself as well, and I love the old time soul music, it makes me feel like I could really live in that time.
