What is your favorite genre or genres of music?

[Leapfrog00]

I like a variety of everything. What genre or genre's do you enjoy listening to?

I love the most eclectic variety. I split them into three categories though.

The first category is music that transports me into an exotic setting, like folk music from various cultures which transports me through time and into very different cultures. I like the visuals they conjure up in my imagination and they help me to create new worlds in my personal projects as a gamedev.

The second category is music that I enjoy dancing to because of the rhythm. So that includes EDM, sometimes hip-hop, sometimes pop, sometimes even folk music, 80s, synthwave, kind of difficult to pinpoint. Yet they're all typically going to have a thumping beat where the BPM isn't too low. Mostly I favored EDM when I was young and clubbing but my friends mostly loved reggae and hip-pop. I used to be a shuffler and break dancer doing airflares on the dance floor and I liked music well-suited for that style of dancing. I think I'll hurt myself if I try those again at this age.

Then the third is one that evokes a strong mood like thrash metal which makes me want to smash through walls. Gets the adrenaline pumping when I need to get hyped up.

I think since I've been a long time game developer, I can't help but imagine the types of video games that every song I listen to might fit. So I often like music if I like the imaginary video game I'm creating for which the music seems to fit.

Like if I'm listening to 80s stuff or synthwave, you know, it's going to be stereotypically neon lights and I'm thinking of a cyberpunk game like a homicide detective investigating cybercrime in a world where people's investment into their virtual lives is so significant that they lose all sense of identity when their cyberselves are murdered.

If I'm listening to post-punk, then usually I lean more towards a post-apocalyptic world. A lot of people seem to associate post-punk with Goth culture but I don't in my brain. I think of ruined civilizations instead.

Things like that. EDM usually makes me think about cyborgs. Folk music is going to make me think of video games set in historical fiction with my stereotypical assumptions of the associated culture (I'm not the most knowledgeable in history so I go by stereotypes).

Rap is my favorite. The most gangsta coke rap you can find me, lmao.

Then, in a complete 180 of softness, I love pop punk😂 I have a lot of stuff I like though. I was a teenager in the 90s, so I’m good with a lot of the music from then. Rap for sure, but also grunge, alternative, and I’m a pretty big fan of 90s R&B.

But I really do love a little bit of almost everything. All the classic 60s and 70s rock music hits with me, 70s soul/R&B, 80s hair metal lmao, pop music across the decades, I dabble in some dubstep, fuckin’ DOO-WOP, lmfao. I’m not the biggest country guy, but even Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash get respect from me.

Good tunes are good tunes. Give me all of them.
