As of now I'm really into the Alternative music genre. For example Lifehouse is
a band that does Alternative. Usually Alternative music is really catchy and
just really enjoyable to listen to. So what's your favorite music genre? and
Why?
Rock, of sorts. My bro's band is awesome, it's not generic shit that you can
just call out (G major... E... G <that'd be most of Green Day's stuff). It
really makes you think, and they don't just stick to four-four time, which is
why they had such a hard time finding a new drummer (the other guy didn't want
to stay once it got more serious). They're intellectual about it, my bro spends
a ton of hours a day practisin' guitar before going to record.
ok let me list these becuz i dont really believe in just restraining yourself to
a single genre [it's best to try everything at least once], ok here goes;
REGGAE, DANCEHALL,HIP-HOP,R&B,TECHNO,J-POP,J-ROCK,A(...) and tons more but
that would be stupid of me to list the rest but these are the main ones for me
Oy. . . I dunno. . . either techno or classical music. But then
I start delving into everything. From different languages to different beats.
^_^ I guess everything but. . . country. . . evil. . .>_<
Metal(the most i listin to next to everything else), hard rock, oldies,
techno(including game themems), jpop/rock. and many more but thoses are the most
common i listin to
I grew up on metal for the most part, some alternative and industrial. Still
listen to that but I've gotten into classical, primarily movie scores, some from
shows even and even some game scores. Also have gotten into country music as
well, used to always say I hated it too but then I actually tried it, somewhat
funny really as people often talk about how slow and sad and depressing it is
yet it's really generally more upbeat than most the other genre's.
Pretty much anything but Rap and Disco. Most of my most beloved music comes from
the late seventies and eighties. Rarely does the music of today touch me as much
as the music I grew up with...like rap-crap. Hate the junk and wonder why oh why
when people say they hate it too they always ALWAYS love Eminem as their only
acceptation to hating rap. It's like saying you're a vegetarian and then
scarfinhg down on steak. Stupid-tard hypocrites!

It's cause Eminem is quite an exception to your everyday commercialized garbage
rap, this is not to say that his current lyrical prowwess is as up to par as
they used to be (Seriously, Em has fallen a lot). There's quite a striking
difference when you compare his lyrics on Infinite LP or Slim Shady LP to his
current rhymes, no longer as punchline oriented or witty as they used to be.
So in other words, the people you're talking about have got their words wrong.
What they hate is commercialized, money-hungry rap, and I'm pretty confident
that if you threw them a BlackStar(Talib Kweli and Mos Def) album, or a Sage
Francis album, they'd enjoy it.
As for rap in general, most people (I'd say a good 90%) make the mistake of
applying what they hear on the radio all across the board, believing that all
rap is limited to money, women, sex, drugs, etc. yadda yadda. And indeed, those
radio stations should seriously be updating their playlists, rap artists like
Common, Sage Francis, Atmosphere, The Emcee (Jin), The Demigodz, The Roots, etc.
aren't getting even a fourth of the publicity and respect they deserve. Rap
isn't about bragging about your riches or material wealth, it's about conveying
a conscious message through words and music.
I don't like to listen to loud rock concert music all the time. I like sad songs
or songs that are about something other than getting your heart broken. Soft,
mellow music is what I like. Am I describing classical music?

WOOOOO another person trying to get to me love rap or maybe even like it and on
top of that trying to convince me of the genius that is Eminem like he's just so
different from every other rap artist (oh and I use the term artist loosely) out
there. I grew up when rap was in its infancy and everyone I was around just fell
so hopelessly in love with it and now are the stupidest people in the
world...course I'm not saying that there is a connection to rap and the
stupidity of today’s youth but I am thinking it loudly. Do you know how
sick I was when VH1 began to play rap music videos...talking about selling your
soul for nothing at all. Yeah I know I sound like I'm a hundred years old and go
a head and say that I am but there's nothing genius about bitching about your
supposed hard life while skanky brainless women dance around you. Regardless of
what you think or...scream at me *that's right scream not sing and yell) it was
the life that you chose weather you believe me or not. Everyone can change and
make their lives better...didn't we all learn when we were in elementary that
putting people down just to boost your ego was a bad thing...give me a break PFT!

that's your ignorance talking. if you bothered to read my post more carefully,
you would have seen I was not trying to convince you to like it. I merely don't
appreciate people disrespecting the genre for the wrong reasons. If it doesn't
suit your preferences despite looking at all sides of it, well then, that's
you.
1. i clearly stated "conscious message." whoever said anything about a
supposed hard life and scantily clad women?
2. Funny how you bring up VH1, what's next? MTV? You should realize that both
channels play the absolute lamest and most degrading artists of the rap genre.
(Seriously, somebody needs to shoot 50 Cent again, cause they obviously failed
the first time.)
Heck, I figure you haven't even heard of artists like Del The Funky Homosapien,
Immortal Technique, Rakim, 7l and Esoteric, Apathy, Common, Black Thought, etc.
As of now I'm really into the Alternative music genre. For example Lifehouse is a band that does Alternative. Usually Alternative music is really catchy and just really enjoyable to listen to. So what's your favorite music genre? and Why?
as the song says: HEAVY METAL!
I like REGGAE, MELLO ROCK and lots and lots of different ANIME CARTOON SOUNDTRACKS
why?...... cuz i like them a LOT
J-pop for me
Techno and J-Pop

pop, rock, piano, instrumental... ^^"
Classic Rock, blues. I like music of mixed genres; I can listen to a lot of different music but I hate techno!
Clasic rock, 80's metal, AC/DC ( sound of its own ) , New rock, Adult alt. , 90's alt. , pretty much anything rock.....
Dave Mathews still sucks
Jpop and Rock work for me
I like Asian pop. Although I don't understand the lyrics I feel more from Asian pop than I do from songs from American artists.
