What genre of music do you listen to the most? Or does it depend on your mood?

Question

For me, it honestly depends on my mood… I can go from something soft and emotional to something that completely shifts my energy...

Today it’s been “Broken” by Tapping the Vein on repeat… my girlfriend and I have literally been dancing to it, just caught up in the moment.

And I’m not even gonna lie… there was even a little head banging involved 😆

It’s funny how certain songs just grab you like that out of nowhere.

…and to whoever first put me onto this song some time ago…thank you, old friend 🩵.

My mood. Yesterday the weather was nice. My brother and I took a drive through Nyack and Piermont NY listening to jazz (lots of George Benson, miles Davis, sonny Rollins, etc) then later in the night we were blasting mostly estg rap.

I was in a rush the other day so I was playing edm so boombox cartel, and stuff. I probably listen to edm the most but it's the genre that I cherry pick songs in the most too.

And then sometimes I like dire straits, Tom petty, van Halen because it reminds me of growing up, my parents were young, we were coming out of poverty. Everyone was happy back then.

And when I'm writing, I'll listen to soundtracks and instrumentals.

Not sure what genre I truly listen to the most... maybe anything around rock, psychedelic rock, electro rock, indie rock, fusion etc. I don't stay way from rock variants for long. Instrumental beats would be second most, I think, that's where I go to find contemplation.

Video game music isn't a musical genre, Mr @Still-alive 😏, video game music usually borrows from any already defined musical genres, like Metroid would be electronic ambient, SOTN flirts with jazz rock and symphonic metal, SMB borrows from classical, chiptunes often borrow from disco and funk etc.

I’m super mood-based too 🎧

On chill days it’s lo-fi, dream pop, or soft indie while I draw or listen to audiobooks. When I need energy, it’s rock, metal, and EDM, especially at festivals or while traveling. For deep emotional nights, I go for movie soundtracks, piano, or melancholic K-indie.

Your “Broken” headbanging dance session sounds perfect 😆🩵

I've been listening to the YouTube videos of the greatest hits from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's lately. They are awesome music 🎶 videos!

Some make me feel sad inside.😞

Some songs make me feel happy 😀 and I find myself singing right along with the songs and I still remember all of the words to them.

Here's an example of a song that makes me feel happy!😀

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Psychedelic!
Second choices are prog and early `80's new wave. Third choice: early `60's and British invasion era. 4th: big band or any 78's, for that matter. Every so often, I just get a strong urge to dig out my 78's and listen to them. Usually, that's late fall or winter. I used to have at least 2000 of them!! :*-(
